O presente trabalho dedica-se a uma modelagem da interação entre corpos celestes, em regime Newtoniano, levando-se em consideração as influências que suas deformações e viscosidades internas exercem sobre seus movimentos orbitais e suas velocidades angulares. A abordagem adotada é uma variação do conhecido problema do corpo pseudo-rígido, a qual simplifica drasticamente a determinação dos equilíbrios relativos e torna a questão da dinâmica matematicamente acessível. Com este tratamento, podemos relacionar ou comparar os resultados com aqueles estabelecidos na literatura, dentre eles: formato de equilíbrio de um fluido isolado em rotação, deformação de maré causada pela interação gravitacional e o torque de maré induzido no mesmo. Pela simplicidade do modelo pode-se ainda fazer uma análise qualitativa da dinâmica do sistema e obter estimativas sobre a velocidade com que se aproxima dos equilíbrios. / The present work is devoted to model the interaction among celestial bodies, in a Newtonian regime, but considering the role played by the internal deformation and viscosity on the orbital motion and angular velocities of the components of the system. The work is mainly developed with an alternative approach to the pseudo-rigid body model, which simplifies the determination of the relative equilibria and allows precise conclusions about the dynamics. So, we are able to compare the results of this theory with those established in the literature, namely: the equilibrium shape of an isolated fluid in rotation, the tidal elongation induced by gravitational interaction and the tidal torque. Due to its simplicity, we can further perform a qualitative analysis of the dynamics of the system and estimate the velocity of attraction of the equilibrium states.

We will consider the case in which dissipation caused by the friction, represented by αut (where α is a positive real constant), operates throughout all the domain. We will study the existence and uniqueness of the solution through the Galerkin Method and the Semigroups Theory. To study the stability of the solution we will employ the Energy Method and the Semigroups technique applied to dissipative systems.

Au cours de ce travail, nous nous sommes attaché à la résolution numérique des équations de la Magnétohydrodynamique (MHD) auxquelles s'ajoute une loi hyperbolique de transport des erreurs de divergence.La première étape consista à symétriser le nouveau système de la MHD idéale afin d'en étudier le système propre, ce qui fut l'occasion de rappeler le rôle de l'entropie au niveau de ce calcul comme à celui de l'inégalité de Clausius-Duhem. La suite de cette thèse eut pour objectif la résolution de ces équations idéales à l'aide de schémas distribuant le résidu (notés RD). Les quatre principaux schémas connus furent testés, et nous avons montré entre autres que le schéma N, qui a fait ses preuves sur les équations d'Euler en mécanique des fluides, n'était pas adapté aux équations de la MHD. Les stratégies classiques de limitation et de stabilisation purent être revisitées à ce moment. Les équations étant instationnaires, il fallut intégrer une discrétisation en temps et une distribution spatiale des termes d'évolution (et d'éventuelles sources). Nous avons d'emblée opté pour une approche implicite permettant d'être performant sur les simulations longues des expériences de tokamaks, et de traiter la correction de la divergence d'une manière originale et efficace. Les problèmes de convergence de la méthode de Newton-Raphson n'ayant pas été pleinement résolus, nous nous sommes tournés vers une alternative explicite de type Runge-Kutta. Enfin, nous avons réétabli les principes de la montée en ordre (en théorie, jusqu'à des ordres arbitraires, en prenant en compte le phénomène de Gibbs) à l'aide de tout type d'élément fini (bien construit) 2D ou 3D, sans avoir pu valider tous ces aspects. Nous avons également pris en compte les équations complètes de la MHD réelle classique (i.e. sans effet Hall) à l'aide d'un couplage RD/Galerkin. / During this thesis, we worked on the numerical resolution of the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, to which we added a hyperbolic transport equation for the divergence errors of the magnetic field.The first step consisted in symmetrizing the new ideal MHD system in order to study its eigensystem, which was the opportunity to remind the role of the entropy in this calculation as well as in the Clausius-Duhem inequality. Next, we aimed at solving these ideal equations by the mean of Residual Distribution (RD) schemes.The four main schemes were tested, and we showed among other things that the N scheme (although it has been proven very efficient with Euler equations in Fluid Mechanics) could not give satisfying results with the MHD equations. Classical strategies for the limitation and the stabilization were revisited then. Moreover,since we dealt with unsteady equations, we had to formulate atime discretization and a spatial distribution of the unsteady terms (as well as possible sources). We first choosed an implicit approach allowing us to be powerful on the long simulations needed for tokamak experiments, and to treat the divergence cleaning part in an original and efficient way. The convergence problems of our Newton-Raphson algorithm having not been fully resolved, we turned to an explicit alternative (Runge-Kutta type).Finally, we discussed about the principles of higher order schemes (theoretically, up to arbitrary orders, taking into account the Gibbs phenomenon) thanks to any type of 2D or 3D finite element (properly defined), without having been able to to validate all these aspects. We also implemented the dissipative part of the full MHD equations (in the classical sense, i.e. omitting the Hall effect) by the use of a RD/Galerkin coupling.

The current study addresses the stability of shock waves propagating through dissipative media, analogous to both granular media and molecular gases undergoing endothermic reactions. In order to investigate the stability, a simple molecular dynamics model was developed to observe shock waves and their structures with the inclusion of energy dissipation. For this, an Event Driven Molecular Dynamics model was implemented in a 2D environment, where a molecule is represented by a disk. The simulations addressed the formation of a shock wave in a gas by the sudden acceleration of a piston. Inelastic collisions were assumed to occur only if an impact velocity threshold is surpassed, representing the activation energy of the dissipative reactions. Parametric studies were conducted for this molecular model, by varying the strength of the shock wave, the activation threshold and the degree of inelasticity in the collisions. The resulting simulations showed that a shock structure does indeed become unstable with the presence of dissipative collisions. This instability manifests itself in the form of distinctive high density non-uniformities behind the shock wave, which take the form of convective rolls. The spacing and size of this ``finger-like" unstable pattern was shown to be dependent on the degree of inelasticity, the activation energy, and the strength of the driving piston. The mechanism responsible for the instability was addressed by studying the time evolution of the material undergoing the shock wave compression and further relaxation. It is found that the gas develops the instability on the same time scales as the clustering instability in homogeneous gases, first observed by Goldhirsch and Zanetti in granular gases. This confirmed that the clustering instability is the dominant mechanism.

Doctor en Ciencias, Mención Física / Los materiales ferromagnéticos a escala nanométrica pueden ser manipulados mediante torques por transferencia de espín y/o campos magnéticos oscilatorios. El torque por transferencia de espín es el resultado de la interacción entre los espines de un material ferromagnético y los espines de una corriente eléctrica que fluye por él. El objetivo de la presente tesis es investigar las dinámicas de la magnetización inducidas mediante torques por transferencia de espín y campos magnéticos oscilatorios. En el primer capítulo se exponen la motivación del presente estudio, los objetivos y los principales resultados. Los capítulos dos y tres de este trabajo introducen la descripción micromagnética de la magnetización y los conceptos y métodos de la física no lineal, respectivamente. En el cuarto capítulo se motivan y discuten de manera general los resultados de la presente investigación, mientras que el quinto capítulo presenta las conclusiones generales de la tesis. Los cinco capítulos siguientes (apéndices A, B, C, D y E) presentan los detalles de nuestros resultados, en formato de publicación. En el Capítulo A, se describen estados tipo patrón de la magnetización inducidos mediante torques por transferencia de espín. Estas texturas, periódicas en el espacio, son descritas mediante ecuaciones para las envolventes de los modos críticos. En el Capítulo B, se estudia la equivalencia entre el efecto de torque por transferencia de espín y los sistemas macroscópicos con inyección de energía modulada en el tiempo. En particular se demuestra que un ferromagneto forzado mediante torques por transferencia de espín exhibe los mismos estados que un medio ferromagnético rotado mecánicamente. Empleando esta equivalencia, se logra predecir texturas tales como patrones y estados localizados. En el Capítulo C, se analizan los efectos de una corriente de espín-polarizado alternante en la dinámica de la magnetización. Como resultado de este estudio, se demuestra analítica y numéricamente la existencia de una resonancia sub-armónica, y se comprueba numéricamente la emergencia de estados similares a ondas de Faraday y solitones. En el Capítulo D, se estudian sistemas macroscópicos en presencia de un forzamiento que oscila en el tiempo. Mediante un modelo fenomenológico para la envolvente de las oscilaciones, se predice y caracteriza un nuevo tipo de estado fuera del equilibrio, este es un pulso que se propaga sobre fondos periódicos. Estas soluciones se caracterizan por un incremento localizado y viajero de la amplitud del estado patrón que las soporta. Se determina que el mecanismo mediante el cual emergen los pulsos es una inestabilidad de Andronov-Hopf sub-crítica. Estos comportamientos son estudiados en un hilo magnético forzado por un campo magnético que oscila en el tiempo. En el Capítulo E, se estudian oscilaciones de patrones bidimensionales, inducidas mediante torques por transferencia de espín. Se comprueba numéricamente que los mecanismos que originan las oscilaciones son una bifurcación homoclina y una inestabilidad de Andronov-Hopf. Finalmente, el Apéndice F presenta dos actas de conferencia con resultados complementarios desarrollados en la tesis.

This thesis intends to familiarise the reader with quantum error correction, and also show some relations to the well known concept of information - and the lesser known quantum information. Quantum information describes how information can be carried by quantum states, and how interaction with other systems give rise to a full set of quantum phenomena, many of which have no correspondence in classical information theory. These phenomena include decoherence, as a consequence of entanglement. Decoherence can also be understood as "information leakage", i.e., knowledge of an event is transferred to the reservoir - an effect that in general destroys superpositions of pure states. It is possible to protect quantum states (e.g., qubits) from interaction with the environment - but not by amplification or duplication, due to the "no-cloning" theorem. Instead, this is done using coding, non-demolition measurements, and recovery operations. In a typical scenario, however, not all types of destructive events are likely to occur, but only those allowed by the information carrier, the type of interaction with the environment, and how the environment "picks up" information of the error events. These characteristics can be incorporated into a code, i.e., a channel-adapted quantum error-correcting code. Often, it is assumed that the environment's ability to distinguish between error events is small, and I will denote such environments "memory-less".  This assumption is not always valid, since the ability to distinguish error events is related to the \emph{temperature} of the environment, and in the particular case of information coded onto photons, <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?k_%7B%5Ctext%7BB%7D%7DT_%7B%5Ctext%7BR%7D%7D%5Cll%5Chbar%5Comega" /> typically holds, and one must then assume that the environment has a "memory". In this thesis, I describe a short quantum error-correcting code (QECC), adapted for photons interacting with a cold environment, i.e., this code protects from an environment that continuously records which error occurred in the coded quantum state. Also, it is of interest to compare the performance of different QECCs - But which yardstick should one use? We compare two such figures of merit, namely the quantum mutual information and the quantum fidelity, and show that they can not, in general, be simultaneously maximised in an error correcting procedure. To show this, we have used a five-qubit perfect code, but assumed a channel that only cause bit-flip errors. It appears that quantum mutual information is the better suited yardstick of the two, however more tedious to calculate than quantum fidelity - which is more commonly used. / Denna avhandling är en introduktion till kvantfelrättning, där jag undersöker släktskapet med teorin om klassisk information - men också det mindre välkända området kvantinformation. Kvantinformation beskriver hur information kan bäras av kvanttillstånd, och hur växelverkan med andra system ger upphov till åtskilliga typer av fel och effekter, varav många saknar motsvarighet i den klassiska informationsteorin. Bland dessa effekter återfinns dekoherens - en konsekvens av s.k. sammanflätning. Dekoherens kan också förstås som "informationsläckage", det vill säga att kunskap om en händelse överförs till omgivningen - en effekt som i allmänhet förstör superpositioner i rena kvanttillstånd.  Det är möjligt att med hjälp av kvantfelrättning skydda kvanttillstånd (t.ex. qubitar) från omgivningens påverkan, dock kan sådana tillstånd aldrig förstärkas eller dupliceras, p.g.a icke-kloningsteoremet. Tillstånden skyddas genom att införa redundans, varpå tillstånden interagerar med omgivningen. Felen identifieras m.h.a. icke-förstörande mätningar och återställs med unitära grindar och ancilla-tillstånd.Men i realiteten kommer inte alla tänkbara fel att inträffa, utan dessa begränsas av vilken informationsbärare som används, vilken interaktion som uppstår med omgivningen, samt hur omgivningen "fångar upp" information om felhändelserna. Med kunskap om sådan karakteristik kan man bygga koder, s.k. kanalanpassade kvantfelrättande koder. Vanligtvis antas att omgivningens förmåga att särskilja felhändelser är liten, och man kan då tala om en minneslös omgivning. Antagandet gäller inte alltid, då denna förmåga bestäms av reservoirens temperatur, och i det speciella fall då fotoner används som informationsbärare gäller typiskt <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?k_%7B%5Ctext%7BB%7D%7DT_%7B%5Ctext%7BR%7D%7D%5Cll%5Chbar%5Comega" />, och vi måste anta att reservoiren faktiskt har ett "minne". I avhandlingen beskrivs en kort, kvantfelrättande kod som är anpassad för fotoner i växelverkan med en "kall" omgivning, d.v.s. denna kod skyddar mot en omgivning som kontinuerligt registrerar vilket fel som uppstått i det kodade tillståndet.  Det är också av stort intresse att kunna jämföra prestanda hos kvantfelrättande koder, utifrån någon slags "måttstock" - men vilken? Jag jämför två sådana mått, nämligen ömsesidig kvantinformation, samt kvantfidelitet, och visar att dessa i allmänhet inte kan maximeras samtidigt i en felrättningsprocedur. För att visa detta har en 5-qubitarskod använts i en tänkt kanal där bara bitflip-fel uppstår, och utrymme därför finns att detektera fel. Ömsesidig kvantinformation framstår som det bättre måttet, dock är detta mått betydligt mer arbetskrävande att beräkna, än kvantfidelitet - som är det mest förekommande måttet. / <p>QC 20121206</p>

[pt] Suspensões correspondem a uma classe de materiais amplamente utilizada em uma grande variedade de aplicações e indústrias. Devido à sua extrema versatilidade, elas têm sido foco de inúmeros estudos nas últimas décadas. Suspensões também são muito flexíveis e podem apresentar diferentes propriedades reológicas e respostas macroscópicas dependendo da escolha dos parâmetros usados como entrada no sistema. Mais especificamente, a resposta reológica de suspensões está intimamente associada ao arranjo microestrutural das partículas que compõem o meio e a fatores externos, como o quão confinadas elas se encontram e a rigidez das partículas. No presente estudo, o efeito da rigidez, confinamento e vazão na microestrutura de suspensões altamente concentradas é avaliado usando Dinâmica Dissipativa de Partículas com Núcleo Modificado. Precedento este estudo principal, foram necessárias outras duas etapas para garantir um sistema de simulação confiável e representativo, que consistiu, essencialmente, na realização de estudos paramétricos para compreender e estimar os valores adequados para os parâmetros de interacção parede-partícula. O presente trabalho aborda estudos paramétricos realizados para auxiliar na escolha dos parâmetros de entrada para evitar a penetração de partículas em um sistema delimitado por paredes. Inicialmente um sistema mais simples, composto por solvente e paredes é construído e os parâmetros de interação e densidades de parede foram ajustados. Em seguida as interações são definidas para suspensões. Neste último caso, vários parâmetros desempenham um papel na penetração e a maneira tradicional de investigar esses efeitos seria exaustiva e demorada. Por isso, optamos por usar uma abordagem de Machine Learning para realizar este estudo. Uma vez ajustados os parâmetros, o estudo de confinamento pôde ser realizado. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi entender como a microestrutura de suspensões concentradas é afetada pela vazão, rigidez das partículas e confinamento. Verificou-se que partículas muito flexíveis sempre formam um aglomerado gigante independente da razão de confinamento; a diferença está em quão compactadas são as partículas. No caso de partículas rígidas, um confinamento mais forte leva à formação de aglomerados maiores. O estudo final aborda um estudo de aprendizado de máquina realizado para prever a reologia de suspensões não confinadas. Com este trabalho foi possível entender e ajustar parâmetros de simulação e desenvolver um domínio computacional que permite estudar sistematicamente efeitos do confinamento em suspensões. / [en] Suspensions correspond to a class of materials vastly used in a large set of applications and industries. Due to its extreme versatility, they have been the focus of numerous studies over the past decades. Suspensions are also very flexible and can display different rheological properties and macroscopic responses depending on the choice of parameters used as input in the system. More specifically, the rheological response of suspensions is intimately associated to the microstructural arrangement of the particles composing the medium and external factors, such as how strongly they are confined and particle rigidity. In the present study, the effect of particle rigidity, confinement and flow rate on the microstructure of highly concentrated suspensions is studied using CoreModified Dissipative Particle Dynamics. Preceding this main study, two other steps were necessary to guarantee a reliable and realistic simulation system, which consisted, essentially, on performing parametric studies to understand and estimate the appropriate values for wall-particle interaction parameters. The present work address parametric studies performed to assist the input parameters choice to prevent particle penetration in a wall-bounded system. Initially a simpler system, composed of solvent and walls, is built and the interaction parameters and wall densities were adjusted. Following, the interactions are set for suspensions. In the latter case multiple parameters play a role in penetration and the traditional way to investigate these effects would be exhaustive and time consuming. Hence, we choose to use a Machine Learning approach to perform this study. Once the parameters were adjusted, the study of confinement could be carried out. The main goal of this study was to understand how the microstructure of concentrated suspensions is affected by flow rate, particle rigidity and confinement. It was found that very soft particles always form a giant cluster regardless the confinement ratio; the difference being on how packed the particles are. In the rigid case, a stronger confinement leads the formation of larger clusters. The final study addresses a machine learning study carried out to predict the rheology of unconfined suspensions. The main contribution of this work is that it was possible to understand and adjust simulation parameters and develop a computational domain that enables to systematically study confinement effects on suspensions.
