Instabilités secondaires dans la convection de Rayleigh-Bénard pour des fluides rhéofluidifiants / Secondary instabilities in the Rayleigh-Bénard convection for shear-thinning fluidsVaré, Thomas 19 July 2019 (has links)
Dans la configuration de Rayleigh-Bénard, on considère une fine couche de fluide placée entre deux parois horizontales, chauffée par le bas et refroidie par le haut. Cette couche peut être le siège d'une instabilité si le gradient thermique est suffisamment important : on passe alors de l'état conductif à l'état convectif et on parle de bifurcation primaire pour qualifier cette première transition. Cette mise en mouvement du fluide se fait de manière ordonnée : on constate ainsi l'émergence de différents motifs de convection comme des rouleaux, des carrés ou encore des hexagones. Ces structures vont à leur tour subir des instabilités qualifiées de secondaires qui vont limiter la gamme de nombres d'onde stables. On étudie ici théoriquement ces instabilités d'une part à proximité du seuil de la convection grâce à une approche faiblement non linéaire, d'autre part loin des conditions critiques grâce à une approche fortement non linéaire. Le fluide est rhéofluidifiant, ce qui correspond au comportement rhéologique le plus fréquemment rencontré, et est décrit par le modèle de Carreau. À proximité du seuil, on considère deux situations : la première correspond au cas où les plaques ont une conductivité finie, la seconde à celui d'un fluide thermodépendant. Dans chaque cas, l'influence du caractère rhéofluidifiant sur la nature du motif émergeant à la bifurcation primaire et sur les instabilités secondaires est mise en évidence. Pour étudier les motifs de convection loin des conditions critiques, on a recours à une procédure de continuation permettant de déterminer de proche en proche les caractéristiques de l'écoulement comme les champs de vitesse ou de température ainsi que le nombre de Nusselt. / In the Rayleigh-Bénard configuration, we consider a thin layer of fluid confined between two horizontal slabs which is heated from below and cooled from above. This layer undergoes an instability if the thermal gradient is strong enough: a transition from the conductive state to the convective state and called _ primary bifurcation _occurs. Moreover, it happens in an ordered way: we can notice the emergence of various convection patterns such as rolls, squares or hexagons. In their turn, these patterns undergo _ secondary instabilities _ that limit the range of stable wavenumbers. These instabilities are studied theoretically _firstly near the threshold thanks to a weakly nonlinear approach, and secondly far from critical conditions thanks to a strongly nonlinear approach. We consider a shear thinning fluid, the most common rheological behavior, which is described by the Carreau model. Near the threshold, two situations are considered: the first corresponds to finite conductivity plates, the second corresponds to a thermodependent fluid. In each case, the influence of the shear thinning effect on the nature of the pattern emerging at the primary bifurcation and on secondary instabilities is highlighted. To study the convection patterns far from the critical conditions, a continuation procedure is used to determine, step-by-step, the characteristics of the flow, such as the velocity or temperature fields and the Nusselt number.

Šíření tvorby hvězd / Propagating star formationDinnbier, František January 2017 (has links)
Massive stars are powerful energetic sources shaping their surrounding interstellar medium, which is often swept up into a cold dense shell. If the shell fragments and forms a new generation of massive stars, the stars may form new shells, and this sequence repeats recursively leading to propagating star formation. Using three dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate fragmentation of the shell in order to estimate masses of stars formed in the shell. We develop a new numerical method to calculate the gravitational potential, which enables us to approximate a part of the shell with a plane-parallel layer. Our main results are as follows. Firstly, we compare our numerical calculations to several analytical theories for shell fragmentation, constrain the parameter space of their validity, and discuss the origin of their limitations. Secondly, we report a new qualita- tively different mode of fragmentation - the coalescence driven collapse. While layers with low pressure confinement form monolithically collapsing fragments, layers with high pressure confinement firstly break into stable fragments, which subsequently coalesce. And thirdly, we study whether layers tend to self-organise and form regular patterns as was suggested in literature, and we find no evidence for this conjecture. Based on our...

Plasma properties in high power impulse magnetron sputteringLundin, Daniel January 2008 (has links)
The work presented in this thesis involves experimental and theoretical studies related to plasma properties in high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS), and more specifically plasma transport. HiPIMS is an ionized PVD method based on conventional direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS). In dcMS very little of the sputtered material is ionized since the plasma power density is not high enough. This is not the case for HiPIMS, where a substantial part is ionized, and thus presents many new opportunities for thin film growth. Understanding the dynamics of the charged species in the HiPIMS discharge is therefore of essential value when producing high-quality thin film coatings. In the first part of the work a new type of anomalous electron transport was found. Investigations of the transport resulted in the discovery that this phenomenon could quantitatively be described as being related and mediated by highly nonlinear waves, likely due to the modified two-stream instability (MTSI), resulting in electric field oscillations in the MHz-range (the so-called lower hybrid frequency). Measurements in the plasma confirmed these oscillations as well as trends predicted by the theory of these types of waves. The degree of anomalous transport in the plasma could also be determined by measuring the current density ratio between the azimuthal current density (of which the Hall current density is one contribution) and the discharge current density, Jφ / JD. The results provided important insights into understanding the mechanism behind the anomalous transport. It was furthermore found that the current ratio Jφ / JD is inversely proportional to the transverse resistivity, eta_perpendicular , which governs how well momentum is transferred from the electrons to the ions in the plasma. By looking at the forces involved in the charged particle transport it was expected that the azimuthally rotating electrons would exert a volume force on the ions tangentially outwards from the circular race track region. The effect of having an anomalous transport would therefore be a large fraction of highly energetic ions being transported sideways and lost to the walls. In a series of experiments, deposition rates as well as incoming ion energy distributions were measured directly at the side of the magnetron. It was found that a substantial fraction of sputtered material is transported radially away from the cathode and lost to the walls in HiPIMS as well as dcMS, but more so for HiPIMS giving one possible explanation to why the deposition rate for substrates placed in front of the target is lower for HiPIMS compared to dcMS. Furthermore, the recorded, incoming ion energy distributions confirmed theoretical estimations on this type of transport regarding energy and direction.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF VERTICAL AND ELBOW THERMOSYPHONSHammouda, Mohamed January 2021 (has links)
The thermal performance of two thermosyphons with different geometries was experimentally investigated in this study. The first thermosyphon utilized a 310 mm long vertical evaporator and a 385 mm long condenser section that was inclined at 5 degrees from the vertical. The second was an elbow configuration with a 140 mm long vertical evaporator and a 190 mm long condenser oriented 8 degrees from the horizontal. Both thermosyphons were made of internally grooved copper tubing with an outer diameter of 15.87 mm, wall thickness of 0.5 mm and a nominal groove height of 0.3 mm. Tests were performed over a range of input heat fluxes where the condenser was cooled by flowing water around the condenser with inlet temperature of 10°C, 20°C, and 35°C. The effects of incrementally increasing and decreasing heat flux was investigated for the elbow thermosyphon. Temperature measurements along the thermosyphon were taken when incrementally changing the heat flux from 0.5 to 11 W/m2 for the first thermosyphon and 0.3 to 6 W/m2 for the second thermosyphon.
Internal flow regimes were characterized using temperature transient profiles and compared to existing flow regime maps for closed thermosyphons suggested by Smith et al. (2018: Part a and Part b) and Terdoon et al. (1997). The temperature transients along the evaporator for the first thermosyphon settled to a more uniform profile as heat flux was increased. For the second thermosyphon the temperature profiles suggested a change to a more dynamic flow in the evaporator at heat flux of approximately 6 W/m2. The elbow thermosyphon showed evidence of a significant hysteresis in the evaporator performance at moderate heat fluxes between 2 and 8 W/cm2. Comparisons were made between the two thermosyphons to study the effects of inclination angle and the feasibility of angle corrections to the Nusselt film condensation model from Guichet and Jouhara (2020). A modification to the Rohsenow condensation model from Guichet and Jouhara (2020) was recommended for the first thermosyphon showing good representation of the condenser performance. The evaporator performance results were compared to existing models from the literature. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Modeling and Stability of Flows in Compliant MicrochannelsXiaojia Wang (13113021) 19 July 2022 (has links)
<p>Fluids conveyed in deformable conduits are often encountered in microfluidic applications, which makes fluid--structure interactions (FSIs) an unavoidable phenomenon. In particular, experiments reported the existence of FSI instabilities in compliant microchannels at low Reynolds numbers, Re, well below the established values for rigid conduits. This observation has significant implications for new strategies for mixing at the microscale, which might harness FSI instabilities in the absence of turbulence. In this thesis, we conduct research on the modeling and stability of microscale FSIs. Understanding the steady response, the dynamics and the stability of these FSIs are the three major objectives. This thesis begins with the analysis of the steady-state scalings and the linear stability of a previously derived mathematical model, through which we emphasize the power of reduced modeling in making the FSI problems tractable. Next, we turn to a more realistic problem regarding FSIs in a common configuration of low-Re flows through long, shallow rectangular three-dimensional microchannels. Through a scaling analysis, which takes advantage of the geometric separation of scales, we find that the flow can be simplified under the lubrication approximation, while the wall deforms like a variable-stiffness Winkler foundation at the leading order. Coupling these dominant effects, we obtain a new fitting-parameter-free flow rate--pressure drop relation for a thick-walled microchannel, which rationalizes previous experiments. Then, we derive a one-dimensional (1D) steady model, at both vanishing and finite Re, by coupling the reduced flow and deformation models. To satisfy the displacement constraints along the channel edges, weak tension is introduced to regularize the underlying Winkler-foundation-like mechanism. This model is then made dynamic by introducing flow unsteadiness and the elastic wall's inertia. We conduct a global stability analysis of this system by perturbing the non-flat steady state with infinitesimal perturbations. We identify the existence of globally unstable modes, typically in the weakly inertial flow regime, whose features are consistent with experimental observations. The unstable eigenmodes oscillate at frequencies close to the natural frequency of the wall, suggesting that the instabilities are resonance phenomena. We also capture the transient energy amplification of perturbations through a linear non-normality analysis of the proposed reduced 1D FSI model.</p>

Detection and Identification of Instability and Blow-off/Flashback Precursors in Aeronautical Engines using Deep Learning techniquesCellier, Antony Hermann Guy January 2020 (has links)
The evolution of injection processes toward more fuel efficient and less polluting combustion systems tend to make them more prone to critical events such as Thermo-Acoustic Instabilities, Blow-Off and Flash-Back. Moreover, the addition of Di-Hydrogen as a secondary or as the main fuel is in discussion by aeronautical engines manufacturers. It drastically modifies the stability of the system and thus raise several interrogations concerning the multiplicity of its use. Being able to predict critical phenomena becomes a necessity in order to efficiently operate a system without having to pre-test every configuration and without sacrificing the safety of the user. Based on Deep Learning techniques and more specifically Speech Recognition, the following study presents the steps to develop a tool able to successfully detect and translate precursors of instability of an aeronautical grade swirled injector confined in a tubular combustion chamber. The promising results obtained lead to proposals for future transpositions to real-size systems. / Utvecklingen av injektionsprocesser mot mer bränsleeffektiva och mindre förorenande förbränningssystem, tenderar att göra dem mer benägna att utsättas för kritiska händelser som Thermo-Acoustic Instabilities, Blow-Off och Flash-Back. Dessutom diskuterar flygmotorkonstruktörer möjligheten att använda Dihydrogen som sekundärt eller som huvudbränsle. Det modifierar drastiskt systemets stabilitet och det väcker frågan hur man kan använda det effektivt. Att kunna förutsäga kritiska fenomen blir en nödvändighet för att använda ett system utan att behöva att på förhand testa varje konfiguration och utan att reducera användarens säkerhet. Baserat på Deep-Learning-tekniker och Speech-Recognition-tekniker, presenterar följande studie stegen för att utveckla ett verktyg som kan upptäcka och översätta föregångare till instabilitet hos en swirled flygmotorerinsprutningspump som är innesluten i en förbränningskammare. De lovande resultaten leder till idéer om hur man kan anpassa det här verktyg till ett system i verklig storlek.
