Mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems are known to extend to deep levels of the oceanic crust, including the plutonic section, but little is known about the timing and nature of fluid-rock interactions at these levels. To investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of hydrothermal alteration in the lower crust, this study investigates a suite of hydrothermally altered (<5 to >20% hydrous alteration) gabbroic rocks recovered from the Hess Deep Rift, where 1.2 Ma fast-spreading East Pacific Rise crust is well-exposed. These samples were altered to amphibole-dominated assemblages with chlorite-rich samples occurring in a restricted region of the field area. Hornfels, indicative of reheated, previously altered rocks, are clustered in the central part of the field area. The entire sample suite has elevated 87Sr/86Sr (mean: 0.70257±0.00007 (2σ), n=16) with respect to fresh rock (0.7024). Bulk rock 87Sr/86Sr is strongly correlated with percentage of hydrous alteration and weakly correlated with bulk rock Sr content. The distribution of Sr in igneous and metamorphic minerals suggests that greenshist-facies alteration assemblages (chlorite, actinolitic amphibole, albitic plagioclase) lose Sr to the fluid while amphibolite-facies secondary assemblages (secondary hornblende, anorthitic plagioclase) take up Sr. The temperature-dependent mobilization of Sr in hydrothermal systems has implications for the 87Sr/86Sr and ultimately fluid/rock ratio calculations based on the assessed 87Sr/86Sr systematics. Considering Sr behaviour, minimum fluid/rock ratios of ~1 were calculated for the plutonic section. Due to the large uncertainty regarding fluid Sr composition at depth and the sensitivity of fluid/rock ratio calculations on this parameter, a model combining the sheeted dike complex and the plutonic section to one hydrothermal system is introduced, yielding a fluid/rock ratio of 0.5. This value may be more realistic since the fluid composition entering and exiting the sheeted dike complex is better constrained. The regional distribution of hornfelsed material with elevated 87Sr/86Sr suggests that fluid ingress into the upper plutonics at Hess Deep occurred on-axis in a dynamic interface of a vertically migrating axial magma chamber (AMC) and the base of the hydrothermal system. / Graduate

Exchange of mass (water vapor), momentum, and energy between atmosphere andocean has profound influence on weather and climate. This exchange takes place at the air-sea interface, which is part of the marine atmospheric boundary layer. Various empirical relations are being used for estimating these fluxes in numericalweather and climate models but their accuracies are not sufficiently verified or tested over the Indian Ocean. The main difficulty is that vast areas of open oceans are not easily accessible. The marine environment is very corrosive and unattended long term and accurate measurements are extremely expensive. India has research ships that spend most of their time over the seas around India but that opportunity is yet to be exploited. To address this, an air-sea flux measurement system for operation on board research ships was planned. The system was tested on board Indian Research Vessels ORV SagarKanya during its cruise SK-296 in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) in July-August 2012, and NIO ship Sindhu Sadhana in June-July 2016. The complete set included instruments for measuring wind velocity, windspeed and direction, air and water temperature, humidity, pressure, all components of radiation and rainfall. In addition, ship motion was recorded at required sampling rate to correct for wind velocity. The set up facilitates the direct computation of sensible and latent heat fluxes using the eddy covariance method. In this thesis, design and installation of meteorological and ship motion sensors onboard research ships, data collection and quality control, computation of fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum using eddy covariance method and their comparison with those derived from bulk method are described. A set of sensors (hereafter, flux measuring system) were mounted on a retractable boom, ~7 m long forward of the bow to minimize the flow disturbance caused by the ship superstructures. The wind observed in the ship frame was corrected for ship motion contaminations. During the CTCZ cruise period true mean wind speed was over 10 m/s and true wind direction was South/South-Westerly. True windspeedis computed combiningdata from the anemometer a compass connected to AWS and a GPS. Turbulent fluxes were computed from motion-corrected time-series of high frequency velocity, water vapor, and air temperature data. Covariance latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, and wind stress were obtained by cross-correlating the motion-corrected vertical velocity with fast humidity fluctuations measured with anIR hygrometer, temperate fluctuation from sonic anemometer and motion-corrected horizontal windfluctuations from sonic anemometer, respectively. During the first attempt made in July-August 2012 as part of a cruise of CTCZ monsoonresearch program, observations were mainly taken in the North Bay of Bengal. The mean air-temperature and surface pressure were ~28 Deg C and ~998 hPa, respectively. Relative humidity was ~80%. Average wind speed varied in the range 4-12 m/s. The mean latent heat flux was 145 W/m2 , sensible heat flux was ~3 W/m2 and average sea-air temperature difference was ~ 0.7°C. The Bay of Bengal boundary layer experiment (BoBBLE) was conducted during June-July 2016 and the NIO research ship Sindhu Sadhana was deployed. The same suite of sensors installed during CTCZ were used during BoBBLE. During daytime, peaks of hourly net heat fluxes (Qnet ) were around 600 Wm-2(positive if into the sea), whereas, night time values were around -250 W m-2. Sea surface temperature was always >28°C and maximum air temperature exceeded 29°C. During the experimental period the mean Qnet was around -24 Wm-2 from both eddy covariance and conventional bulk methods, but there are significant differences on individual days.The new flux system gives fluxes which are superior to what was available before.

Ce travail de thèse a été réalisé dans le cadre d'une collaboration internationale entre l'Université de Lorraine (France) et l'Université d'Oujda (Maroc). Les travaux réalisés concernent la modélisation de l'usinage par enlèvement de matière. Deux aspects importants de l'usinage ont été abordés : le processus de la formation de copeaux et les échanges thermiques à l'interface outil-copeau. Dans la première partie de la thèse, une modélisation par élément finis (EF) du processus de la coupe a été mise en place. La segmentation des copeaux a été particulièrement analysée grâce à l'introduction d'un nouveau paramètre, le Rapport d'Intensité de Segmentation, permettant de quantifier ce phénomène. Une corrélation entre la réduction de l'effort de coupe et l'intensité de segmentation a été établie. La deuxième partie de la thèse a été consacrée à l'étude des échanges thermiques à l'interface outil-copeau, qui contribuent entre autres à l'usure de l'outil de coupe. Un des points importants de l'étude est la mise en place d'une procédure d'identification hybride (analytique/numérique) permettant d'estimer le flux thermique transmis dans l'outil de coupe et de remonter au coefficient de partage de la chaleur à l'interface outil-copeau pour chaque vitesse de coupe. Avec les valeurs identifiées du coefficient de partage de la chaleur pour chaque vitesse de coupe, une loi d'échange thermique multi-branches a été proposée et ses paramètres identifiés. Cette loi donnant l'évolution du coefficient de partage de la chaleur en fonction de la vitesse de coupe a également été définie en fonction de la vitesse relative de glissement à l'interface outil-copeau dans le but de l'implanter dans un code de calcul EF. L'interface utilisateur VUINTER du code Abaqus/Explicit a été exploitée pour implanter la loi proposée, afin d'appréhender complètement le contact d'un point de vue mécanique et thermique. Il est désormais possible d'implanter via cette interface-utilisateur n'importe quelle autre loi de contact thermomécanique (frottement, coefficient de partage de la chaleur, etc.). L'implantation via la subroutine VUINTER a été validée sur des cas tests d'abord, et puis ensuite en usinage. Les résultats obtenus pour les flux thermiques avec cette nouvelle procédure sont en très bon accord avec les mesures expérimentales pour le couple outil-matière considéré : AA2024-T351/WC-Co / This PhD. thesis is realised in the framework of an international cooperation between the University of Lorraine (France) and the University of Oujda (Morocco). The work done concerns the modelling of machining process by material removal. Two important aspects of machining have been investigated: the chip formation process and the heat exchange at the tool-chip interface. In the first part of the thesis, a FE modelling of the cutting process has been established. Chips segmentation have been particularly analysed using à new parameter (Segmentation Intensity Ratio) allowing the quantification of the phenomenon. A correlation has been established between the cutting force reduction and the chip segmentation intensity. The second part of the thesis has been devoted to the study of heat exchange at the tool-chip interface, among other phenomena that contribute to the tool wear. One important point of the study is the establishment of a hybrid identification procedure (analytical/numerical) to estimate the heat flux transmitted into the cutting tool, and identification of the heat partition coefficient at the contact interface for each cutting speed. With identified values of the heat partition coefficient obtained by varying the cutting speed, a heat exchange multi-branch law has been proposed and parameters of this law have been identified. This law corresponds firstly to the evolution of the heat partition coefficient as a function of the cutting speed. Thereafter, it was defined in term of the relative sliding velocity at the tool-chip contact interface, in order to implement it in a FE code. The user interface VUINTER of Abaqus/Explicit has been used to implement the proposed law, to fully control the mechanical and thermal contact. It is henceforth possible to implement with this user interface any thermomechanical contact (friction, heat partition coefficient, etc.). The implementation via the user subroutine VUINTER was validated first on adequate tests, then on machining. The obtained results for heat fluxes with this new procedure are in good agreement with experimental measurements for the tool-workmaterial couple considered: AA2024-T351/WC-Co

This diploma thesis is about thermomechanics of passenger car tires. The research part dealing with existing tire models is followed by the practical part. The practical part is based on the designs of thermomechanical models. The first model determines a dependence of temperature on the air pressure inside a tire when a temperature changes. The second thermomechanical model captures all the heat fluxes which affect a tire while a vehicle is in motion. The third thermomechanical model calculates temperatures of parts of the tire during driving tests. All models are programmed in MATLAB.

This work thoroughly analyzes a previously created computational model for predicting characteristic properties of the combustion process in an experimental combustion chamber. Any found shortcomings of the original model are removed and the model is further improved prior to its application on 11 real cases of combustion tests performed at various conditions and with various fuels. Data provided by the model are confronted with the data obtained during the combustion tests and the model accuracy is evaluated, based on local heat flux along the length of the combustion chamber. Finally, the overall usefulness of the model is determined by the means of evaluating the acquired accuracy values, and further possibilities of model improvement and use are presented.
