The ow of gas mixture is due to a constant pressure gradient (Poiseuille's Problem), a temperature gradient (Problem Thermal-Creep) and a density gradient (Fuzzy Problem) in the direction parallel to the surface surrounding gases. The kinetic theory for the ow of gas mixture is described by a linearized model of the Boltzmann equation, the McCormack model. To better describe the interaction between gas and wall is used by Maxwell kernel in the terms of a single accommodation coefficient and the Cercignani-Lampis kernel defined in terms of the coefficients of accommodation of tangential momentum accommodation coefficient and the kinetic energy corresponding to normal velocity, which according to literature is a more appropriate model than the usual model that involves specular and diffuse. In seeking solutions to the problem proposed, it uses a analytical version of the discrete ordinates method (ADO), based an arbitrary quadrature scheme, whereby it is determined a problem of eigenvalues and their constant separation. The numerical calculations are performed for three mixtures of noble gases: Neon-Argon, Helium-Argon and Helium-Xenon, and computationally implemented using the FORTRAN computer program. / Neste trabalho, apresenta-se resultados numéricos para grandezas macroscropicas de interesse (perfil de velocidade, perfil do fluxo de calor e tensão de cisalhamento) relativas ao fluxo de uma mistura binária de gases de rarefação arbitrária em microcanais planos, definidos por duas placas paralelas infinitas sem condição de simetria. O fluxo da mistura gasosa ocorre devido a um gradiente constante de pressão (Problema de Poiseuille), um gradiente de temperatura (Problema Creep-Térmico) e um gradiente de densidade (Problema Difuso), na direção paralela a superfície que cerca os gases. A teoria cinética para o fluxo da mistura gasosa é descrita por um modelo linearizado da equação de Boltzmann, o modelo de McCormack. Para melhor descrever o processo de interação entre o gás e a parede utiliza-se o núcleo de Maxwell em termos de um único coeficiente de acomodação e o núcleo de Cercignani-Lampis definido em termos dos coeficientes de acomodação do momento tangencial e o coeficiente de acomodação da energia cinética correspondendo a velocidade normal, que segundo a literatura é um modelo mais apropriado do que o usual modelo que envolve reflexão especular e difusa. Na busca de soluções do problema proposto, usa-se uma versão analítica do método de ordenadas discretas (ADO), baseada num esquema de quadratura arbitrário, segundo a qual determina-se um problema de autovalores e respectivas constantes de separação. Os cálculos numéricos são realizados para três misturas de gases nobres: Neônio-Argônio, Hélio-Argônio e Hélio-Xenônio, e implementados computacionalmente através do programa computacional FORTRAN.

A presente tese de Doutorado refere-se a problemas em teoria de campos e mecânica quântica no espaço não comutativo (NC). Abordamos alguns sistemas físicos bem estudados em física teórica, como a teoria de Maxwell na presença de fontes externas, equação de Pauli, equação de Dirac em campos externos e o espectro do átomo de hidrogênio relativístico. Como um primeiro problema estudamos a teoria de calibre U(1)* e extendemos o mapa de Seiberg-Witten para incluir uma corrente externa e formulamos equações clássicas para os campos no espaço não comutativo. Soluções no vácuo e em um campo magnético externo para uma carga estática de tamanho finito a foram determinadas. Encontramos que uma carga estática além de ser um monopolo elétrico comporta-se como um dipolo magnético e um campo magnético externo modifica o campo de Coulomb a longas distâncias bem como alguns fatores de forma eletromagnéticos, comportamentos inerentes a consideração de uma geometria NC. Nesta direção analisamos a ambiguidade no mapa de Seiberg-Witten e mostramos que, no mínimo até a ordem estudada aqui, isto é equivalente a ambiguidade de se adicionar uma solução homogênea à condição de conservação da corrente. Demandando que o momento magnético NC seja menor que o erro existente na medida do momento magnético de léptons, obtemos uma estimativa superior para o parâmetro e seu comprimento fundamental associado l. Estudamos os níveis de energia do átomo de hidrogênio relativístico no formalismo da equação de Dirac no espaço NC para o campo de Coulomb. Demonstramos que no caso relativístico a não comutatividade quebra totalmente a degenerescência dos níveis 2S1/2; 2P1/2 e 2P3/2, abrindo novos canais de transição permitidos. Por fim construímos uma equação de onda não relativística para partículas de spin 1/2 através do limite não relativístico da equação de Dirac no espaço NC. Apresentamos um modelo pseudoclássico (à-la Berezin-Marinov) cuja quantização coincide com as equações de onda não relativísticas. Através da interação entre um spin não-relativístico e o campo magnético, através da equação de Pauli no espaço NC, construímos uma generalização para o modelo de Heisenberg para dois spins acoplados no espaço NC. Em tal modelo calculamos a amplitude de probabilidade de transição entre dois estados ortogonais do tipo EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) submetidos em um campo magnético oscilatório e mostramos que, algumas de tais transições, que são proibidas no espaço comutativo são possíveis devido a não comutatividade do espaço. / The present PhD thesis refers to problems in field theory and quantum mechanics in noncommutative (NC) space. We study some well known physical systems in theoretical physics, such as the Maxwell theory in the presence of external sources, the Pauli equation, the Dirac equation with external fields and the relativistic Hydrogen atom. First we study the U(1)* gauge theory and extend the Seiberg-Witten map to include an external current and formulate classical field equations in NC space. Solutions in the vacuum and in an external magnetic field for a static charge of finite size a is determined. We find that a static charge in NC space, besides being an electric monopole, behaves as a magnetic dipole and the external magnetic field modifies the Coulomb law at large distances, as well as some electromagnetic form factors. In this direction we analyse the arbitrariness in the Seiberg-Witten map and show that, at least to the order studied here, this is equivalent to adding a homogeneous solution to the charge conservation condition. Demanding that the NC magnetic moment be less than the existing error in the measurement of leptons magnetic moment we obtain an upper bound for the NC parameter and its associated fundamental length l. In addition we consider the energy levels of a hydrogen-like atom in the framework of a -modified, due to space noncommutativity, Dirac equation with a Coulomb field. It is shown that the noncommutativity completely breaks the degeneracy of the 2S1/2; 2P1/2 and 2P3/2 levels, allowing for new transition channels. At last, but not least, we construct a nonrelativistic wave equation for spin 1/2 particles through the nonrelativistic limit of the NC Dirac equation. We present a pseudoclassical model (à-la Berezin-Marinov) whose quantization coincides with the nonrelativistic wave equations. By extracting the interaction between a nonrelativistic spin and the magnetic field, from the obtained Pauli equation in NC space, we construct a generalization of the Heisenberg model for two coupled spins in NC space. In such model, it is calculated the transition probability amplitude between two orthogonal EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) states submitted in the presence of an oscilatory magnetic field and we shown that some of such transitions, which are forbidden in NC space are possible due to space noncommutativity.

Mes travaux concernent deux systèmes d’équations utilisés dans la modélisation mathématique de semi-conducteurs et de plasmas : le système d’Euler-Poisson et le système d’Euler-Maxwell. Le premier système est constitué des équations d’Euler pour la conservation de la masse et de la quantité de mouvement couplées à l’équation de Poisson pour le potentiel électrostatique. Le second système décrit le phénomène d’électro-magnétisme. C’est un système couplé, qui est constitué des équations d’Euler pour la conservation de la masse et de la quantité de mouvement et les équations de Maxwell, aussi appelées équations de Maxwell-Lorentz. Les équations de Maxwell sont dues aux lois fondamentales de la physique. Elles constituent les postulats de base de l’électromagnétisme, avec l’expression de la force électromagnétique de Lorentz. En utilisant une technique de développement asymptotique, nous étudions les limites en zéro du système d’Euler-Poisson dans les modèles unipolaire et bipolaire. Il est bien connu que la limite formelle du système d’Euler-Poisson est gouvernée par les équations de dérive-diffusion lorsque le temps de relaxation tend vers zéro. Par des estimations d’énergie aux systèmes hyperboliques symétriques, nous justifions rigoureusement cette limite lorsque les conditions initiales sont bien préparées. Le phénomène des conditions initiales mal préparées est interprété par l’apparition de couches initiales. Dans ce cas, nous faisons une analyse mathématique de ces couches initiales en ajoutant des termes de correction dans le développement asymptotique. En utilisant les techniques itératives des systèmes hyperboliques symétrisables et la technique de développement asymptotique, nous étudions la limite de relaxation en zéro du système d’Euler-Maxwell, avec des conditions initiales bien préparées ainsi que l’étude des couches initiales, dans le modèle évolutif bipolaire et unipolaire. / My work is concerned with two different systems of equations used in the mathematical modeling of semiconductors and plasmas : the Euler-Poisson system and the Euler-Maxwell system. The first is given by the Euler equations for the conservation of the mass and momentum, with a Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential. The second system describes the phenomenon of electromagnetism. It is given by the Euler equations for the conservation of the mass and momentum, with a Maxwell equations for the electric field and magnetic field which are coupled to the electron density through the Maxwell equations and act on electrons via the Lorentz force. Using an asymptotic expansion method, we study the zero relaxation limit of unipolar Euler-Poisson system and of two-fluid multidimensional Euler-Poisson equations, we prove the existence and uniqueness of profiles to the asymptotic expansion and some error estimate. By employing the classical energy estimate for symmetrizable hyperbolic equations, we justify rigorously the convergence of Euler-Poisson system with well-prepared initial data. For ill-prepared initial data, the phenomenon of initial layers occurs. In this case, we also add the correction terms in the asymptotic expansion. Using an iterative method of symmetrizable hyperbolic systems and asymptotic expansion method, we study the zero-relaxation limit of unipolar and bipolar Euler-Maxwell system. For well-prepared initial data, we construct an approximate solution by an asymptotic expansion up to any order. For ill-prepared initial data, we also construct initial layer corrections in the asymptotic expansion.

En physique des plasmas, le transport des électrons peut être décrit d'un point de vue cinétique ou d'un point de vue hydrodynamique.En théorie cinétique, une équation de Fokker-Planck couplée aux équations de Maxwell est utilisée habituellement pour décrire l'évolution des électrons dans un plasma collisionnel. Plus précisément la solution de l'équation cinétique est une fonction de distribution non négative f spécifiant la densité des particules en fonction de la vitesse des particules, le temps et la position dans l'espace. Afin d'approcher la solution de ce problème cinétique, de nombreuses méthodes de calcul ont été développées. Ici, une méthode déterministe est proposée dans une géométrie plane. Cette méthode est basée sur différents schémas numériques d'ordre élevé . Chaque schéma déterministe utilisé présente de nombreuses propriétés fondamentales telles que la conservation du flux de particules, la préservation de la positivité de la fonction de distribution et la conservation de l'énergie. Cependant, le coût de calcul cinétique pour cette méthode précise est trop élevé pour être utilisé dans la pratique, en particulier dans un espace multidimensionnel.Afin de réduire ce temps de calcul, le plasma peut être décrit par un modèle hydrodynamique. Toutefois, pour les nouvelles cibles à haute énergie, les effets cinétiques sont trop importants pour les négliger et remplacer le calcul cinétique par des modèles habituels d'Euler macroscopiques. C'est pourquoi une approche alternative est proposée en considérant une description intermédiaire entre le modèle fluide et le modèle cinétique. Pour décrire le transport des électrons, le nouveau modèle réduit cinétique M1 est basé sur une approche aux moments pour le système Maxwell-Fokker-Planck. Ce modèle aux moments utilise des intégrations de la fonction de distribution des électrons sur la direction de propagation et ne retient que l'énergie des particules comme variable cinétique. La variable de vitesse est écrite en coordonnées sphériques et le modèle est défini en considérant le système de moments par rapport à la variable angulaire. La fermeture du système de moments est obtenue sous l'hypothèse que la fonction de distribution est une fonction d'entropie minimale. Ce modèle satisfait les propriétés fondamentales telles que la conservation de la positivité de la fonction de distribution, les lois de conservation pour les opérateurs de collision et la dissipation d'entropie. En outre une discrétisation entropique avec la variable de vitesse est proposée sur le modèle semi-discret. De plus, le modèle M1 peut être généralisé au modèle MN en considérant N moments donnés. Le modèle aux N-moments obtenu préserve également les propriétés fondamentales telles que les lois de conservation et la dissipation de l'entropie. Le schéma semi-discret associé préserve les propriétés de conservation et de décroissance de l'entropie. / In plasma physics, the transport of electrons can be described from a kinetic point of view or from an hydrodynamical point of view.Classically in kinetic theory, a Fokker-Planck equation coupled with Maxwell equations is used to describe the evolution of electrons in a collisional plasma. More precisely the solution of the kinetic equations is a non-negative distribution function f specifying the density of particles as a function of velocity of particles, the time and the position in space. In order to approximate the solution of such problems, many computational methods have been developed. Here, a deterministic method is proposed in a planar geometry. This method is based on different high order numerical schemes. Each deterministic scheme used presents many fundamental properties such as conservation of flux particles, preservation of positivity of the distribution function and conservation of energy. However the kinetic computation of this accurate method is too expensive to be used in practical computation especially in multi-dimensional space.To reduce the computational time, the plasma can be described by an hydrodynamic model. However for the new high energy target drivers, the kinetic effects are too important to neglect them and replace kinetic calculus by usual macroscopic Euler models.That is why an alternative approach is proposed by considering an intermediate description between the fluid and the kinetic level. To describe the transport of electrons, the new reduced kinetic model M1 proposed is based on a moment approach for Maxwell-Fokker-Planck equations. This moment model uses integration of the electron distribution function on the propagating direction and retains only the energy of particles as kinetic variable. The velocity variable is written in spherical coordinates and the model is written by considering the system of moments with respect to the angular variable. The closure of the moments system is obtained under the assumption that the distribution function is a minimum entropy function. This model is proved to satisfy fundamental properties such as the non-negativity of the distribution function, conservation laws for collision operators and entropy dissipation. Moreover an entropic discretization in the velocity variable is proposed on the semi-discrete model. Moreover the M1 model can be generalized to the MN model by considering N given moments. The N-moments model obtained also preserves fundamental properties such as conservation laws and entropy dissipation. The associated semi-discrete scheme is shown to preserve the conservation properties and entropy decay.

The diploma thesis deals with the personality of Robert Maxwell, his biography, his taking effect on the British media and political scene. The thesis follows also Maxwell's book distribution, founding its first publishing house and several newspapers which he owned. The thesis contains information not only about the Robert Maxwell's personality but also about the historical context his times in Great Britain and focuses on the historical aspect of the media field, business and politics.

Au cours des dernières décennies, les métamatériaux ont montré qu'ils pouvaient avoir des propriétés étonnantes, permettant d'imaginer et de réaliser des dispositifs tels que des lentilles à indice négatif, des dispositifs de camouflage ou des lentilles parfaitement plates. Aussi, font-ils aujourd'hui l'objet d'une intense recherche. Cette thèse, inscrite dans le projet ANR METAPHOTONIQUE, avait pour objectif principal d'étudier la possibilité d'utiliser des métamatériaux pour l'optique guidée à la longueur d'onde télécom. Ceci a requis une meilleure compréhension du comportement des métamatériaux, ce qui nous a orientés vers l'étude de modèles effectifs. La récupération des paramètres optiques effectifs a nécessité de pouvoir simuler la réponse des métamatériaux sous une illumination en incidence oblique, ce qui a requis l'implémentation de telles méthodes en FDTD. Aux cours de nos travaux, nous avons aussi mis en évidence un phénomène de rotation de la polarisation de modes guidés suite à leur interaction avec des métamatériaux asymétriques. Nous avons alors pu concevoir et caractériser un dispositif pour l'optique guidée destiné faire tourner la polarisation de la lumière sur une longueur deux fois plus courte que la longueur d'onde. Enfin, un objectif secondaire a été de déterminer si les pertes dues à la présence de nanostructures métalliques dans nos métamatériaux pouvaient être compensées grâce à l'utilisation de matériaux à gain. Un modèle permettant de décrire de tels matériaux en FDTD a donc été étudié et implémenté / Over the last decades, metamaterials have been shown to exhibit extraordinary properties. These properties could allow the design of new devices such as negative refractive index lenses, cloaking devices and perfectly flat lenses. This PhD is part of the ANR METAPHOTONIQUE project and its main objective was to study the potential of metamaterials for integrated photonics at telecommunication wavelengths. This required to first better understand the behavior of metamaterials, which led us to study effective index models. The retrieval of effective optical parameters required to be able to simulate the optical response of metamaterials under oblique incidence excitation. Due to this, we had to study and implement such methods for FDTD computations. Our work also showed that asymmetrical metamaterials possessed the ability to make the polarization of guided modes rotate. This allowed us to design and characterize a potential device for integrated photonics, which effectively converts the polarization of guided modes over lengths shorter than half the wavelength. A secondary goal of this PhD was to study the potential compensation of losses occuring within the metallic nanostructures of our metamaterials through the use of materials with gain. Thus, a model allowing us to simulate such materials in FDTD has been implemented

The third part of the thesis is focused on the calculation of parameters of a small serial production motor. In the fourth part, these parameters are verified using the analytical tool RMxprt which is included in Ansys Maxwell. The fifth chapter deals with the optimization using Matlab genetic algorithm. In the final chapter, the design modifications are verified using the method of finite element Ansys Maxwell 2D.

[pt] O petróleo é constituído por uma cadeia de hidrocarbonetos, os quais se precipitam na forma de partículas sólidas de parafina, quando a sua temperatura cai abaixo de um patamar conhecido como TIAC (Temperatura Inicial de Aparecimento de Cristais). Essas partículas podem se depositar nas paredes internas dos dutos obstruindo o escoamento, podendo gerar prejuízos da ordem de milhões de dólares. Por esse motivo, a habilidade de previsão e controle da deposição de parafina em eventos futuros é de fundamental importância tanto para projetistas como operadores de tubulações. Visando lidar com esse problema, grande esforço vem sendo feito pela comunidade científica com o intuito de aperfeiçoar as metodologias para previsão do depósito de parafina. Frequentemente, a modelagem da difusão das espécies é realizada utilizando a Lei de Fick, válida para misturas binárias, apesar dos hidrocarbonetos presentes no petróleo formarem uma mistura multicomponente. O presente trabalho propõe avaliar o fluxo difusivo de massa das espécies utilizando o modelo Stefan-Maxwell, compatível com sistemas multicomponentes. Para determinar a evolução axial e temporal da espessura do depósito de parafina, o escoamento foi modelado como uma mistura líquido/sólido e equações de conservação de energia, massa, quantidade de movimento linear e continuidade das espécies são resolvidas, acopladas com o modelo termodinâmico de múltiplas soluções sólidas, para determinação da precipitação da parafina. As equações de conservação foram resolvidas utilizando o software de código livre OpenFOAM (marca registrada). Uma comparação das previsões obtidas com a modelagem de Fick e de Stefan-Maxwell com dados experimentais, mostrou que no início do processo de deposição, o impacto do modelo difusivo é desprezível. Porém, observou-se que a medida que o tempo passa, o modelo de Stefan Maxwell prevê um maior incremento da concentração das espécies mais pesadas no interior do depósito de parafina quando comparado com a previsão da modelagem de Fick. / [en] Petroleum is formed by a chain of hydrocarbons, which precipitates in the form of solid particles of paraffin, when its temperature drops below a threshold known as Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT). These particles can be deposited on the inner walls of the pipelines, obstructing the flow, which can generate losses in the order of several millions of dollars. For this reason, the ability to predict and control wax deposition in future events is of fundamental importance for both designers and operators of pipelines. In an attempt to deal with this problem, a great effort has been made by the scientific community aiming to improve wax deposition prediction methodologies. Often, the modeling of species diffusion is performed using Fick s law, valid for binary mixtures, although the hydrocarbons present in the oil form a multicomponent solution. The present work proposes to evaluate the species mass diffusive flux employing the Stefan-Maxwell model, compatible with multicomponent systems. To determine the axial and temporal evolution of the wax deposition thickness, the flow was modelled as a liquid/solid mixture and the conservation equations of energy, mass, linear momentum and species continuity were solved coupled with the thermodynamic model of multiple solid solutions, to determine the paraffin precipitation. The conservation equations were solved using the open-source software OpenFOAM (trademark). A comparison of the predictions obtained with the Fick and Stefan-Maxwell models with experimental data showed that at the beginning of the deposition process, the impact of diffusive model is negligible. However, it was observed that as time passes, the Stefan-Maxwell model predicts a greater increase in the concentration of heaviest species inside the wax deposit when compared to the prediction of Fick s law

The main aim of this work is to study the thermal conductivity of base fluid with mild inclusion of nanoparticles. We perform numerical study for transportation of Maxwell nanofluids with activation energy and Cattaneo–Christov flux over an extending sheet along with mass transpiration. Further, bioconvection of microorganisms may support avoiding the possible settling of nanoentities. We formulate the theoretical study as a nonlinear coupled boundary value problem involving partial derivatives. Then ordinary differential equations are obtained from the leading partial differential equations with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. We obtain numerical results by using the Runge–Kutta fourth-order method with shooting technique. The effects of various physical parameters such as mixed convection, buoyancy ratio, Raleigh number, Lewis number, Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, mass transpiration on bulk flow, temperature, concentration, and distributions of microorganisms are presented in graphical form. Also, the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and motile density number are calculated and presented in the form of tables. The validation of numerical procedure is confirmed through its comparison with the existing results. The computation is carried out for suitable inputs of the controlling parameters.
