The work deals with the design and experimental production of the model type Birdcage coil used for magnetic resonance imaging system (MRI). The work deals with the design and behaviour of the model type Birdcage coil volume designed for imaging system for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Volume coils are generally very useful for use in MRI, because in transversal design allow easy access into the cavity when the flow vector of magnetization. The aim of the work was to construct a numerical model of transversal coil type Birdcage of the predefined dimensions. The created the coil tuned the desired resonant frequency having regard to maximize performance in the measured sample migrated. The modeling coil experimentally produced and measurements also confirm the accuracy of the numerical model.

The aim of master‘s thesis is to assess the current state of the degree of flood protection on the basis of hydraulic calculations for different flood scenarios that correspond to the maximum culmination discharges Q1, Q5, Q20, Q100, Q100 unaffected in areas Komin and Kníničky on the Svratka at km 45.477 to 47.810. Hydraulic calculations were carried out using the coupled 1D and 2D numerical model. The outputs have been processed in the form of maps of depths and speed floodings.

The thesis deals with the issue of simulation of treated wastewater irrigation by the HYDRUS 2D software. The first part of the thesis is designed as a theoretical research of academic information and knowledge. It aims at introducing the issue of treated wastewater utilization for the purpose of the irrigation. Furthermore it provides basic theoretical information on numeric simulation of the dissolved materials motion and transport in the soil. The last chapter of the theoretical part describes the calibration of the simulation by the HYDRUS 2D software. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the formation of filtration columns placed in the chosen site of the root zone wastewater plant. Within the filtration columns the automatic irrigation was formed and set off. Measuring of humidity in filtration columns was taking place for 81 days as well as the water sampling after the flow through the soil horizons. On the grounds of the measuring results the calibration of numeric simulation was carried out by the HYDRUS 2D software. The last part of the thesis presents the applications through the extending and alternation of the modelled setting. The main aim of the thesis is to calibrate the model and propose a general solution to advancement at realization of irrigation details when using the treated wastewater for the purpose of irrigation.

This thesis deals with the solution of numerical modeling. Consequently problems associated with the flow of the water over spillway of the specific water structure. In this case numerical modeling means modeling of fluid movement, which is described by mathematical means. Especially nowadays, when a lot of spillways need to be recalculated, whether it meets the capacity demands, or there is no need to tackle reconstruction. With today's software capabilities there is a wide range of commercial and freeware resources. The numerical model, compared to physical model is less accurate which is, on the otherhand, physical model is usually financially and time-consuming. The following work simulates the behavior of water on the edge of the spillway, in the trough and then behind the trough. The result is a comparison of the water depth in the trough calculated by the numerical and the physical model.

L’objectif est la construction numérique d’un modèle 3D régional de la plaine de Sidi Bouzid permettant la quantification du transfert hydrique et du rôle des crues sur le processus de recharge. Des simulations numériques de l’écoulement ont été réalisées à l’aide de Feflow et validées par des données mesurées in situ. Une conceptualisation des paramètres d’entrée a été réalisée afin de contourner l’absence de données mesurées. L'hétérogénéité de la zone non saturée a un impact significatif sur la variation du flux vertical et la propagation du front d’humidité. Les résultats obtenus en 1D ont été spatialisés à l’échelle de la plaine avec l’objectif de quantifier l’ensemble des flux d’écoulements. L’originalité réside, d’une part, dans la détermination des conditions aux limites appliquées à la surface du sol à partir des hydrogrammes des crues enregistrés et, d’autre part, au modèle conceptuel limitant l’évaporation. Le modèle hydrodynamique a mis en évidence que le bilan hydrique est fortement excédentaire. Les simulations de l’écoulement ont montré que l’approche des épandages de crues au niveau des périmètres surestime la recharge artificielle de la nappe. / The aim of this study is to set up a 3D regional model to quantify water flux in unsaturated-saturated zones and the role of floods on the recharge process. Therefore, numerical flow simulations were conducted using the finite element Feflow that will be validated by measured data. A conceptualization of input parameters was carried out to overcome the absence of measured data. The heterogeneity of the vadose zone have a significant impact on the variation of the vertical flow, the residence time and the propagation of wetting front in the unsaturated zone. The results obtained in 1D were then used to quantify groundwater recharge of the entire area of the study site. The original approach is to derive the time-dependent hydraulic boundary condition of water level at the soil surface of the spreading perimeters by measured flood hydrographs and to develop a limited conceptual model of water uptake by evaporation. The hydrodynamic model showed that the water balance is very important. Flow simulations have shown that the perimeter flooding approach overestimates the artificial recharge of the aquifer.

Les constructeurs automobiles sont tenus de respecter des minima sécuritaires vérifiés lors de crash-tests normalisés, d'où un nombre de scénarios de tests limité ne tenant pas compte des particularités individuelles. Ce mémoire propose d'évaluer le comportement humain réel en phase de pré-crash sur simulateur de conduite. L'expérimentation, intégrant un scénario d'accident difficilement évitable, a permis d'étudier le comportement de 76 conducteurs dont 40 sur simulateur dynamique. Pour ce groupe, 43 voies de mesures centrées sur le conducteur ont été intégrées au protocole. Parmi les résultats obtenus, on retiendra la possible détection précoce de l'accident, pour la moitié des conducteurs, sur la base de leur interaction avec le véhicule. Les manœuvres d’évitement amènent 25% des sujets à positionner l'avant-bras devant le volant au moment de l’impact. Cette situation peut compromettre l'efficacité des airbags, ce qui est vérifié sur banc statique, par le déploiement d'airbags face à un mannequin de type Hybrid III-50%. La projection du bras entraine un impact de 120g à la tête. De plus, l'intégration de membres supérieurs issus de SHPM montre que la situation provoque des fractures de l'avant-bras. Un modèle numérique a été conçu pour estimer les effets de la position atypique lors d'un crash frontal à 50km/h. L'accélération de la tête atteint 270g, synonyme de risques lésionnels élevés. Enfin, une modification technologique des airbags est proposée, basée sur l'hypothèse que la détection à distance peut permettre un déclenchement anticipé et plus lent des airbags. Testée expérimentalement et numériquement, cette évolution permet de respecter les critères lésionnels. / Automakers are lawfully required to achieve a minimum level of security which is checked during standardized crash tests. This results in a limited number of scenarios, which do not take individual specificities into account. This dissertation evaluates real human behaviour during the pre-crash phase, by means of a driving simulator. The experiment, integrating an unavoidable accident, studied the behaviour of 76 drivers, of which 40 drivers on a dynamic simulator. Concerning this group, 43 acquisition channels dedicated to drivers were added. From the results, one can retain that the crash can be predicted for half of the drivers through the observation of their behaviour and their interaction with the car. Due to swerving manoeuvres, 25% of the drivers have their forearm just in front of the steering wheel at the time of crash. This situation may compromise the efficiency of the airbags, that is verified experimentally on a static bench, by the deployment of airbags in front of a Hybrid III-50% dummy. The throwing of the arm causes an impact of 120 g to the head. In a second stage, the integration of left upper limbs from PMHS reveals that the situation is likely to generate fractures in the forearm. A numerical model has been designed to estimate the consequences of the atypical position during a frontal crash at 50km/h. The head acceleration reaches 270 g, synonymous with high lesion risks. Finally, a technological modification of the airbags is proposed to reduce this risk. The assumption is made that the use of remote sensors technologies can allow an early detection of the crash and therefore slower triggering of airbags. Tested experimentally and then numerically, this technical evolution reduces the violence of the impact to respect the injury criteria.

<p>U radu su prikazani razvoj, testiranje, kalibracija i verifikacija linijskog modela neustaljenog tečenja vode i transporta nanosa u mreži prirodnih vodotoka.<br />Hidraulički model se zasniva na St. Venant -ovim jednačinama koje su diskretizovane primenom Preissmann-ove &scaron;eme. Za modelisanje transporta nanosa i deformacije korita je usvojen koncept koji daje mogućnost da se obuhvate oba vida<br />kretanja nanosa (suspendovanog i vučenog). Primenom pristupa aktivnog sloja su<br />definisani procesi razmene materijala između nanosa u suspenziji i nanosa u aktivnom sloju. Osnovne jednačine transporta nanosa i deformacije korita su rečene<br />primenom metode etapnog re&scaron;avanja čija primena rezultuje u dva uzastopna koraka, advektivnom i difuzionom koraku. Jednaˇcine advektivnog koraka su ređavane<br />metodom karakteristika, dok se za jednačine difuzionog koraka primenila CrankNicholson-ova &scaron;ema metode konaˇcnih razlika. Dobijene jednačine su dopunjene<br />sa dodatnim jednačinama kako bi se omogućilo modelisanje opisanih procesa u<br />granatoj mrezi otvorenih tokova. Izvedene jednacine su primenjene za formiranje<br />numerickog modela koji jeđvalitativno testiran na &scaron;ematskim primerima, a kvantitativni testovi su urađeni na realnom primeru. Za realan primer je izabrana deonica Dunava u Srbiji sa glavnim pritokama Savom i Tisom. Kako bi se definisala oblast koja će se koristiti za verifikaciju modela napravljen je detaljan pregled i sistematizacija postojećih merenja morfologije korita, nivoa, proticaja i koncentracija suspendovanog nanosa. Na osnovu ovog pregleda je definisana morfologija modelisane mreže tokova. Pri kalibraciji hidrauličkog modela su razmotrena dva pristupa,<br />kalibracija putem Manning-ovog koeficijenta zadatog kao funkcije od proticaja, i<br />kalibracija zadavanjem apsolutne hrapavosti, dok je verifikacija modela urađena<br />pu&scaron;tanjem simulacije od godinu dana i poređenjem rezultata proračuna sa merenjima. Kalibracija modela transporta je sprovedena za duži vremenski period kako bi se &scaron;to bolje opisale godi&scaron;nje varijacije koncentracije suspendovanog nanosa, a za verifikaciju modela je odabran petogodiˇsnji period tokom kojeg su upoređeni rezultati proracuna sa merenjima, čime je pokazano da razvijen model moze pouzdano da simulira procese strujanja vode i transprta nanosa u mreži otvorenih tokova.<br />&nbsp;</p> / <p>This work presents the development, evaluation, calibration and verification of a<br />one dimensional unsteady flow, sediment transport and bed evolution looped river<br />network model. The hydraulic model is based on the St. Venant&rsquo;s equations discretized using the Preissmann&rsquo;s scheme. The sediment transport and bed evolution<br />model implements a concept that differentiates sediment particles moving in the<br />form of suspended sediment, and near bed and bed sediment. Applying the active<br />layer concept the developed model includes definitions of the exchange mechanisms<br />between the suspended sediment and active layer material. The governing transport equations were solved using the split operator approach that resulted in two<br />successive steps, the advection and diffusion step. The advection step equations<br />were solved using the characteristics method, whereas the diffusion step equations<br />are discretized using the Crank-Nicholson&rsquo;s scheme. The obtained system of the<br />developed equations was complemented with additional equations in order to allow<br />sediment transport and bed evolution simulation in a looped river network. The<br />derived equations were applied to develop an open channel flow, sediment transport and bed evolution numerical model that was subjected to a series of schematic<br />tests and a real life situation simulation. The model&rsquo;s evaluation was conducted<br />by comparison of the simulation results with the available measurements. The presented work was complemented with an comprehensive overview of the existing<br />bathymetry, water level, discharge and suspended sediment concentration measurements in order to define the model&rsquo;s domain, initial and boundary conditions. The calibration of the hydraulic model was done by assigning the Manning&rsquo;s coefficient<br />as a function of the discharge. As a result of the exhausting requirements of this<br />approach, a second approach was considered, where the calibration is conducted by<br />changing the absolute roughness. The verification of the hydraulic model was done<br />by comparing the computed results of a one year flow simulation with the available<br />measurements. Since the agrement between the two was satisfying, the sediment<br />transport and bed evolution model was calibrated using a longer time interval in<br />order to better capture the annual variations of the suspended sediment. The calibrated model was employed for a long term sediment transport and bed evolution<br />simulation. The simulation results were compared with the existing measurements<br />confirming the developed model&rsquo;s reliability.</p>

<p>U okviru ovog rada je razvijen ravanski model koji sadrži sve važne aspekte interakcije vode, nanosa i zagađivača u prirodnim vodotocima. Model obuhvata procese<br />strujanja vode, oba oblika kretanja nanosa (suspendovani i vučeni), mehanizme<br />razmene mase između nanosa u suspenziji i nanosa u aktivnom sloju, deformacije korita usled erozije i deponovanja nanosnog materijala, mehanizme razmene<br />mase između nanosa u aktivnom sloju i aktivnom stratumu, kao i procese transporta nekonzervativne zagađuju&acute;ce materije koja je u interakciji sa nanosom preko<br />procesa adsorpcije/desorpcije. Formulisane jednačine transporta zagađivača obuhvataju njegovu pojavu u rastvorenom i adsorbovanom obliku. Razmena između<br />dva vida pojave zagađivača (rastvoreni i adsorbovani) je opisana preko kinetickih<br />procesa prvog reda, pri cemu je modelisanje koeficijenata razmene usko povezano<br />sa dostupnom povrˇsinom za adsorpciju. Sa druge strane, razmena između materije<br />adsorbovane na suspendovani nanos, odnosno materije adsorbovane na nanos u aktivnom sloju je neposredno vezana za nanosne procese uvlačenja zrna u suspenziju i<br />deponovanja istih iz suspenzije. Početni &scaron;ematski testovi su podrazumevali proveru<br />razvijenog algoritma za re&scaron;avanje advektivnih članova jednačina. Druga grupa &scaron;ematskih testova je podrazumevala implementaciju razvijenog modela transporta<br />zagađujuće materije, pri čemu su testirani i kvalitativno ocenjeni mehanizmi<br />razmene i interakcije. Za testiranje modela na primerima aluvijalnih vodotokova<br />izabrane su dve deonice reke Dunav. Prva lokacija se nalazi u pograniˇcnoj zoni<br />između Mađarske i Srbije gde su testirani aspekti modela koji se odnose na<br />proracun tečenja i pona&scaron;anje nanosa. Druga deoncia se nalazi kod Beograda<br />gde je, pored proračuna strujanja i nanosa, vr&scaron;ena analiza modela transporta zagađujuće materije obuhvatajući sve relevantne mehanizme i aspekte izučavanih<br />procesa. Upoređivanjem terenskih merenja i rezultata proračuna je konstatovano<br />da razvijeni model može simulirati interakciju vode, nanosa i zagađivača u prirodnim vodotocima sa zadovoljavajucom tačno&scaron;ću i pouzdano&scaron;ću.<br />&nbsp;</p> / <p>This work presents the development of a two-dimensional model for flow, sediment<br />and pollutant interaction in natural watercourses. The model incorporates water<br />flow computation, both aspects of sediment transport (suspended and bed-load),<br />the mechanisms of exchange between suspended and bed sediment, bed evolution<br />due to erosion and deposition, the mechanisms of exchange between active layer<br />and active stratum sediment, as well as the processes of nonconservative pollutant<br />transport including its interaction with sediment particles by adsorption/desorption.<br />Deriving the governing equations for pollutant transport included the dissolved and<br />adsorbed pollutant. The exchange between the dissolved and adsorbed pollutant<br />was described using a first order kinetic process, while the modeling of the exchange<br />coefficients remained closely related to the sediment surface available for adsorption.<br />On the other hand, the exchange between the pollutant adsorbed on suspended sediment and the pollutant adsorbed on active layer sediment was directly related<br />to the sediment processes of entrainment and deposition. Numerical tests included<br />the evaluation of the developed algorithm for advection terms. The second group<br />of numerical tests targeted the pollutant transport model, with the emphasis on<br />the mechanisms of exchange and interaction. For field test cases two reaches of the<br />Danube River were used. The first reach was located in the border area between<br />Hungary and Serbia. Field data collected there was used to analyze the developed<br />model&rsquo;s ability to simulate flow and sediment transport. Data collected on the second reach near Belgrade was used to perform flow, sediment and pollutant transport<br />simulations, taking into account all the relevant mechanisms of the studied processes.<br />Comparing the computed and measured values, it was concluded that the developed<br />model is able to simulate the interaction of flow, sediment and pollutant in natural<br />watercourses with acceptable precision and reliability.</p>

L’assimilation variationnelle de données 4D-Var est une technique très utilisée en géophysique, notamment en météorologie et océanographie. Elle consiste à estimer des paramètres d’un modèle numérique direct, en minimisant une fonction de coût mesurant l’écart entre les sorties du modèle et les mesures observées. La minimisation, qui est basée sur une méthode de gradient, nécessite le calcul du modèle adjoint (produit de la transposée de la matrice jacobienne avec le vecteur dérivé de la fonction de coût aux points d’observation). Lors de la mise en œuvre de l’AD 4D-Var, il faut faire face à des problèmes d’implémentation informatique complexes, notamment concernant le modèle adjoint, la parallélisation du code et la gestion efficace de la mémoire. Afin d’aider au développement d’applications d’AD 4D-Var, le logiciel YAO qui a été développé au LOCEAN, propose de modéliser le modèle direct sous la forme d’un graphe de flot de calcul appelé graphe modulaire. Les modules représentent des unités de calcul et les arcs décrivent les transferts des données entre ces modules. YAO est doté de directives de description qui permettent à un utilisateur de décrire son modèle direct, ce qui lui permet de générer ensuite le graphe modulaire associé à ce modèle. Deux algorithmes, le premier de type propagation sur le graphe et le second de type rétropropagation sur le graphe permettent, respectivement, de calculer les sorties du modèle direct ainsi que celles de son modèle adjoint. YAO génère alors le code du modèle direct et de son adjoint. En plus, il permet d’implémenter divers scénarios pour la mise en œuvre de sessions d’assimilation.Au cours de cette thèse, un travail de recherche en informatique a été entrepris dans le cadre du logiciel YAO. Nous avons d’abord formalisé d’une manière plus générale les spécifications deYAO. Par la suite, des algorithmes permettant l’automatisation de certaines tâches importantes ont été proposés tels que la génération automatique d’un parcours “optimal” de l’ordre des calculs et la parallélisation automatique en mémoire partagée du code généré en utilisant des directives OpenMP. L’objectif à moyen terme, des résultats de cette thèse, est d’établir les bases permettant de faire évoluer YAO vers une plateforme générale et opérationnelle pour l’assimilation de données 4D-Var, capable de traiter des applications réelles et de grandes tailles. / Variational data assimilation 4D-Var is a well-known technique used in geophysics, and in particular in meteorology and oceanography. This technique consists in estimating the control parameters of a direct numerical model, by minimizing a cost function which measures the misfit between the forecast values and some actual observations. The minimization, which is based on a gradient method, requires the computation of the adjoint model (product of the transpose Jacobian matrix and the derivative vector of the cost function at the observation points). In order to perform the 4DVar technique, we have to cope with complex program implementations, in particular concerning the adjoint model, the parallelization of the code and an efficient memory management. To address these difficulties and to facilitate the implementation of 4D-Var applications, LOCEAN is developing the YAO framework. YAO proposes to represent a direct model with a computation flow graph called modular graph. Modules depict computation units and edges between modules represent data transfer. Description directives proper to YAO allow a user to describe its direct model and to generate the modular graph associated to this model. YAO contains two core algorithms. The first one is a forward propagation algorithm on the graph that computes the output of the numerical model; the second one is a back propagation algorithm on the graph that computes the adjoint model. The main advantage of the YAO framework, is that the direct and adjoint model programming codes are automatically generated once the modular graph has been conceived by the user. Moreover, YAO allows to cope with many scenarios for running different data assimilation sessions.This thesis introduces a computer science research on the YAO framework. In a first step, we have formalized in a more general way the existing YAO specifications. Then algorithms allowing the automatization of some tasks have been proposed such as the automatic generation of an “optimal” computational ordering and the automatic parallelization of the generated code on shared memory architectures using OpenMP directives. This thesis permits to lay the foundations which, at medium term, will make of YAO a general and operational platform for data assimilation 4D-Var, allowing to process applications of high dimensions.
