Em particular, a presente implementação é validada comparando-se a solução numérica com uma solução analítica / This work presents an extention of the Freeflow-2D system to non-Newtonian free surface flows. The governing equations are solved by the finite difference method on a staggered grid. Marker particles are used to describe the fluid providing the location and the visualization of the free surface. The methodology employed is based on the GENSMAC method. The fluid is modelled by the Cross and power-law models. Numerical examples are presented. The code is validated by making a comparison between analytical and numerical solutions

Les écoulements en milieu urbain sont complexes et à l’heure actuelle estimés à l’aide d’outils informatiques. Pourtant, le manque de données expérimentales sur des géométries urbaines rend la validation et l’encadrement de l’utilisation de ces derniers difficile. Cette thèse présente les résultats obtenus sur un modèle physique d’un quartier urbain. La distribution des hauteurs d’eau ainsi que la répartition des débits en sortie du quartier expérimental sont mesurées. Leur étude a mis en évidence certains comportements caractéristiques des écoulements. Les données expérimentales ont été comparées aux simulations numériques générées avec un code 3D (Ansys-Fluent®) et un outil de recherche (Neptune 2D) mis au point durant cette thèse. Ce dernier résout les équations de Barré de Saint Venant 2D à l’aide d’un schéma EVR-DG, associé à une modification des solveurs de Riemann qui rend le code de calcul well-balanced.Les écarts observés entre Ansys-Fluent® et l’expérimental sont majoritairement en-dessous de 10%. Le code Neptune 2D apparait quant à lui légèrement moins précis : les écarts peuvent atteindre 20 à 30%. Diverses hypothèses sont avancées pour expliquer ces écarts. / This study deals with urban floods. Nowadays, numerical tools are used to simulate those complex flows. Nevertheless, the lack of experimental make the validation of the softwares difficult. This work presents experimental results of an urban flood physical model. The water height and the outflows at every outlet are measured and compared to numerical results. This study highlights some observed specificities of urban flows. In order to simulate those flows, a numerical tool (Neptune 2D) was developed during this PhD to solve the 2D shallow water equations with an EVR-DG scheme. Modifications of the Riemann solvers lead to a wellbalanced scheme. Numerical results were also provided with a 3D software (Ansys-Fluent®). Differences between Ansys-Fluent® and experimental results are mainly under 10%. Neptune2D is less accurate, with differences reaching 20 to 30%. Some hypotheses are discussed to explain those discrepencies.

Este trabalho é dedicado à análise e implementação de esquemas "upwind" de alta ordem modernos e o modelo de turbulência k-epsilon padrão no Freeflow-2D; um ambiente integrado para simulação numérica em diferenças finitas de problemas de escoamentos incompressíveis com superfícies livres. O propósito do estudo é a simulação de escoamentos de fluidos newtonianos incompressíveis, bidimensionais, confinados e/ou com superfícies livres e a altos valores do número de Reynolds. O desempenho do código Freeflow-2D atual é avaliada na simulação do escoamento numa expansão brusca e de um jato livre incidindo perpendicularmente sobre uma superfície rígida impermeável. O código é então aplicado na simulação de um jato planar turbulento em uma porção de fluido com superfície livre e estacionário. Os resultados numéricos obtidos são comparados com dados experimentais, soluções analíticas e soluções numéricas de outros trabalhos. / This work is devoted to the analysis and implementation of modern high-order upwind schemes and the standard k-epsilon turbulence model into the Freeflow-2D; a finite difference integrated environment for the numerical simulation of incompressible free surface flow problems. The purpose of this study is the two-dimensional simulation of high-Reynolds incompressible newtonian confined and/or free surface flows. The performance of the current Freeflow-2D code is assessed by applying it to the simulation of flow over a backward facing step and of an impinging free jet onto an impermeable rigid surface. The code is then applied to a turbulent planar jet into a pool. The numerical results are compared with experimental data, analytical solution, and numerical simulations of other works.

Neste trabalho apresenta-se um novo esquema prático tipo upwind de alta resolução, denominado EPUS (Eight-degree Polynomial Upwind Scheme), para resolver numericamente equações de conservação TVD e é implementado no contexto do método das diferenças finitas. O desempenho do esquema é investigado na resolução de sistemas hiperbólicos de leis de conservação e escoamentos incompressíveis complexos com superfícies livres. Os resultados numéricos mostraram boa concordãncia com outros resultados numéricos e dados experimentais existentes / Is this work a new practical high resolution upwinding scheme, called EPUS (Eight-degree Polynomial Upwind Scheme), for the numerical solution of transient convection-dominated conservation equations is present. The scheme is based on TVD stability criterion and is implemented in the context of the finite difference methodology. The performance of the scheme is investigated by solving hyperbolic systems of conservation laws and complex incompressible flows with free surfaces.

Três esquemas de captura de descontinuidade são apresentados para simular hiperbólicos de leis de conservação e equações de Navier-Stokes incompressíveis, a saber: FDHERPUS (Five Degree Hermite Upwind Scheme); RUS (Rational Upwind Scheme); e CSPUS (Cubic Spline Polynomial Upwind Scheme). Esses esquemas são baseados nos critérios de estabilidade CBC e TVD e implementados nos contextos das metodologias diferenças finitas e volumes finitos. A precisão local dos esquemas é verificada acessando o erro e a taxa de convergência em problemas testes de referência. Um estudo comparativo entre os esquemas estudados (incluido o WENO5) e o esquema bem estabelecido de van Albada, para resolver leis de conservação lineares e não lineares, é também realizado. O esquema de convecção que fornece melhores resultados em leis de conservação hiperbólicas é então examinado na simulação de escoamentos de fluidos newtonianos com superfícies livres móveis de complexidade crescente; resultados satisfatórios têm sido observados em termos do comportamento global / Three shock capturing schemes for numerical solution of hyperbolic conservation laws and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are presented, namely: FDHERPUS (Five Degree Hermite Polynomial Upwind Scheme); RUS (Rational Upwind Scheme); and CSPUS ( Cubic Spline Polynomial Upwind Scheme). These schemes are based on CBC and TVD stability criteria and implemented in the context of finite volume methodologies. The local observed accuracy of the schemes is verified by assessing the error and convergence rate on benchmark test cases. A comparative study between the schemes (including WENO5) and the well established van. Albada scheme to solve standard linear and nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws is also accomplished. The scheme that has provided better results in hyperbolic conservation laws is then examined in the simulation of Newtonian moving free surface flows of increasing complexity, satisfactory agreement has been observed in terms of the overall behavior

[pt] O deslocamento de um líquido em um tubo capilar pela injeção de um gás ocorre em muitas situações, tais como na recuperação avançada de petróleo, no revestimento de conversores catalíticos e na moldagem assistida por injeção de gás. Geralmente o líquido deslocado é uma solução polimérica ou uma dispersão, que é não Newtoniana. Forças viscoelásticas alteram o balanço de forças em várias partes do escoamento e, conseqüentemente, alteram a eficiência do deslocamento, isto é, mudam a quantidade de líquido deixada na parede do capilar. Modelos de tais escoamentos devem se basear em teorias que levem em consideração o comportamento diferenciado de líquidos com microestrutura complexa, tanto no cisalhamento quanto na extensão. Além do mais, escoamentos de deslocamento envolvem uma superfície livre, e o domínio no qual as equações diferenciais são resolvidas é desconhecido a priori, fazendo parte da solução. Estas duas características tornam o problema extremamente complexo. Este problema foi estudado aqui tanto experimentalmente quanto teoricamente. Os experimentos consistiram da visualização do escoamento e medição da massa deslocada pela passagem de uma bolha de gás através de um tubo capilar preenchido por um líquido viscoelástico. Várias soluções de baixo peso molecular de Polietileno Glicol (PEG) e de alto peso molecular de Óxido de Polietileno (PEO) em água foram usadas a fim de avaliar os efeitos do comportamento viscoelástico no escoamento. As propriedades reológicas das soluções foram avaliadas tanto em cisalhamento quanto em extensão. Na análise teórica, o escoamento com superfície livre bidimensional próximo µa interface gás- líquido foi modelado usando três equações diferenciais constitutivas distintas que aproximam o comportamento viscoelástico de soluções poliméricas diluídas, as quais são os modelos Oldroyd-B, FENE-P e FENE-CR, juntamente com as equações de conservação de massa e de quantidade de movimento linear. O sistema de equações foi resolvido pelo Método dos Elementos Finitos. O sistema de equações algébricas não-lineares resultante foi resolvido pelo método de Newton. Os resultados mostram o efeito do caráter viscoelástico do líquido na forma da superfície livre e a espessura do filme líquido deixado na parede. / [en] Displacement of a liquid in a capillary tube by gas injection occurs in many situations, like enhanced oil recovery, coating of catalytic converters and gas-assisted injection molding. Generally the liquid being displaced is a polymeric solution or dispersion, which is not Newtonian. Viscoelastic forces alter the force balance in various parts of the flow and consequently change the amount of liquid left attached to the capillary wall. Models of such flows must rely on theories that can account for the different behavior of microstructured liquids in simple shear and extensional flow. Moreover, displacement flows involve a free surface, and the domain where the differential equations are posed is unknown a priori being part of the solution. These two characteristics make the problem extremely complex. This problem was analyzed here both by experiments and theory. The experiments consisted of flow visualization and measurement of mass displaced by a gas bubble in a capillary tube filled with a viscoelastic liquid. Various solutions of low molecular weight Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and high molecular weight Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) in water were used in order to evaluate the effect of viscoelastic behavior on the flow. The rheological properties of the solutions were evaluated both in simple shear and predominantly extensional flows. In the theoretical analysis, the two- dimensional free surface flow near the gas-liquid interface was modelled using three different differential constitutive equations that approximate viscoelastic behavior of dilute polymer solutions, namely Oldroyd-B, FENE-P and FENE-CR, together with momentum and continuity equations. The equation system was solved with the Finite Element Method. The resulting non- linear system of algebraic equations was solved by Newton`s method. The results show the effect of the viscoelastic character of the liquid on the free surface shape and the film thickness attached to the capillary wall.

Apesar de as EDPS que modelam leis de conservação e problemas em dinâmica dos fluídos serem bem estabelecidas, suas soluções numéricas continuam ainda desafiadoras. Em particular, há dois desafios associados à computação e ao entendimento desses problemas: um deles é a formação de descontinuidades (choques) e o outro é o fenômeno turbulência. Ambos os desafios podem ser atribuídos ao tratamento dos termos advectivos não lineares nessas equações de transporte. Dentro deste canário, esta tese apresenta o estudo do desenvolvimento de um novo esquema \"upwind\" de alta resolução e sua associação com modelagem da turbulência. O desempenho do esquema é investigado nas soluções da equação de advecção 1D com dados iniciais descontínuos e de problemas de Riemann 1D para as equações de Burgers, Euler e águas rasas. Além disso, são apresentados resultados numéricos de escoamentos incompressíveis 2D e 3D no regime laminar a altos números de Reynolds. O novo esquema é então associado à modelagem \'capa\' - \'epsilon\' da turbulência para a simulação numérica de escoamentos incompressíveis turbulentos 2D e 3D com superfícies livres móveis. Aplicação, verificação e validação dos métodos numéricos são também fornecidas / Althought the PDEs that model conservation laws and fluid dynamics problems are well established, their numerical solutions have presented a continuing challenge. In particular, there are two challenges associated with the computation and the understanding of these problems, namely, formation of shocks and turbulence.

In this scenario, this thesis presents the study of the development of a new high-resolution upwind scheme and its association with turbulence modelling. The performance of the scheme is investigated by solving the 1D advection equation with discontinuous initial data 1D Riemann problems for Burgers, Euler and shallow water equations. Besides, numerical results for 2D and 3D incompressible laminar flows at high Reynolds number are presented. The new scheme is then associated with the \'capa - \' epsilon\' turbulence model for the simulation of 2D and 3D incompressible turbulent flows with moving free surfaces. Application, verification and validation of the numerical methods are also provided

Les écoulements en eau peu profonde se rencontrent dans de nombreuses situations d’intérêts : écoulements de rivières et dans les lacs, mais aussi dans les mers et océans (courants de marée, tsunami, etc.). Ils sont modélisés par un système d’équations aux dérivées partielles, où les inconnues sont la vitesse de l’écoulement et la hauteur d’eau. On peut supposer que la composante verticale de la vitesse est petite devant les composantes horizontales et que ces dernières sont indépendantes de la profondeur. Le modèle est alors donné par les équations de shallow water (SWEs). Cette thèse se concentre sur la conception d’une nouvelle technique d’interaction de plusieurs grilles imbriquées pour modèle en eau peu profonde en utilisant des méthodes numériques. La première partie de cette thèse comprend, La dérivation complète de ces équations à partir des équations de Navier- Stokes est expliquée. Etudier le développement et l’évaluation des méthodes numériques en utilisant des méthodes de différences finies et plusieurs exemples numériques sont appliqués utilisant la condition initiale du niveau gaussien pour 2DSWEs. Dans la deuxième partie de la thèse, nous sommes intéressés à proposer une nouvelle technique d’interaction de plusieurs grilles imbriquées pour résoudre les modèles océaniques en utilisant quatre choix des opérateurs de restriction avec des résultats de haute précision. Notre travail s’est concentré sur la résolution numérique de SWE par grilles imbriquées. A chaque niveau de résolution, nous avons utilisé une méthode classique de différences finies sur une grille C d’Arakawa, avec un schéma de leapfrog complété par un filtre d’Asselin. Afin de pouvoir affiner les calculs dans les régions perturbées et de les alléger dans les zones calmes, nous avons considéré plusieurs niveaux de résolution en utilisant des grilles imbriquées. Ceci permet d’augmenter considérablement le rapport performance de la méthode, à condition de régler efficacement les interactions (spatiales et temporelles) entre les grilles. Dans la troisième partie de cette thèse, plusieurs exemples numéériques sont testés pour 2DSWE avec imbriqués 3:1 et 5:1. Finalement, la quatrième partie de ce travail, certaines applications de grilles imbriquées pour le modèle tsunami sont présentées. / Most flows in the rivers, seas, and ocean are shallow water flow in which the horizontal length andvelocity scales are much larger than the vertical ones. The mathematical formulation of these flows, so called shallow water equations (SWEs). These equations are a system of hyperbolic partial differentialequations and they are effective for many physical phenomena in the oceans, coastal regions, riversand canals. This thesis focuses on the design of a new two-way interaction technique for multiple nested grids 2DSWEs using the numerical methods. The first part of this thesis includes, proposing several ways to develop the derivation of shallow water model. The complete derivation of this system from Navier-Stokes equations is explained. Studying the development and evaluation of numerical methods by suggesting new spatial and temporal discretization techniques in a standard C-grid using an explicit finite difference method in space and leapfrog with Robert-Asselin filter in time which are effective for modeling in oceanic and atmospheric flows. Several numerical examples for this model using Gaussian level initial condition are implemented in order to validate the efficiency of the proposed method. In the second part of our work, we are interested to propose a new two-way interaction technique for multiple nested grids to solve ocean models using four choices of higher restriction operators (update schemes) for the free surface elevation and velocities with high accuracy results. Our work focused on the numerical resolution of SWEs by nested grids. At each level of resolution, we used explicit finite differences methods on Arakawa C-grid. In order to be able to refine the calculations in troubled regions and move them into quiet areas, we have considered several levels of resolution using nested grids. This makes it possible to considerably increase the performance ratio of the method, provided that the interactions (spatial and temporal) between the grids are effectively controlled. In the third part of this thesis, several numerical examples are tested to show and verify twoway interaction technique for multiple nested grids of shallow water models can works efficiently over different periods of time with nesting 3:1 and 5:1 at multiple levels. Some examples for multiple nested grids of the tsunami model with nesting 5:1 using moving boundary conditions are tested in the fourth part of this work.

<p>Free surface flows, characterized by a deformable interface between two immiscible fluids or between a liquid and a gas, play a pivotal role in numerous natural phenomena and industrial processes. The fluid-fluid interface dynamics, governed by the complex interplay of forces such as inertia, capillary force, viscous force, and possibly elastic force, significantly influence the behavior of the fluids involved. Examples of free surface flows can be observed in everyday situations, such as droplet formation from a faucet, propagation and breaking of ocean waves, and tear films that coat the eye. An in-depth understanding of free surface flows and fluid-fluid interface dynamics has extensive implications for optimizing applications like inkjet printing, coating, spraying, and droplet formation while providing insights into the intricate behavior of natural fluid systems. Most of these applications, except for coating, involve abrupt and catastrophic topological changes of interfaces present in processes such as drop breakup, sheet rupture, and drop impact, where small droplets form from liquid sheets or filaments.</p> <p>This thesis examines the dynamics of contracting liquid filaments through computational means. Previous computational simulations have assumed that initially the fluid within the filament is quiescent which, however, may not typically be the case in practical applications. Here, the effect of a realistic, non-zero initial velocity profile is considered with the hypothesis that the fact that the fluid is already in motion when it starts to contract may result in significant alterations in the filament’s final fate vis-a-vis whether it breaks up into multiple small droplets or contracts into a sphere as its ends retract toward each other. The transient system of governing equations, the three-dimensional but axisymmetric (3DA) Navier-Stokes and continuity equations subjected to interfacial boundary conditions, are solved using rigorous and robust numerical algorithms in both fully 3DA and one-dimensional (1D) settings using the Galerkin finite element (GFEM) method. The simulation results are then used to construct comprehensive phase diagrams to delineate regions where filaments break up into smaller droplets from those where filaments contract to spheres without breakup.</p> <p>Polymer additives are often present in practical applications involving filament contraction and breakup. The presence of polymer molecules in an otherwise Newtonian solvent gives rise to non-Newtonian rheology. In this thesis, the dynamics of filaments containing polymer additives are analyzed using a 1D algorithm that is developed specifically for simulating viscoelastic free surface flows where the fluid’s rheology is described by the oft-used Oldroyd-B model. In real-world applications, filaments produced from nozzles are expected to be prestressed at the instant when they are created and begin to contract. It is demonstrated that the retraction velocity of tips of highly viscous, prestressed filaments is significantly increased compared to filaments in which the polymer molecules are initially relaxed and Newtonian filaments. This enhancement is explained by examining the value of f σ: D (σ: Elastic stress; D: Rate-of-strain tensor), which can be positive or negative. This quantity is positive when the flow does work on the polymer molecules but negative when the molecules do work on the flow, i.e., when elastic recoiling or unloading takes place. In prestressed filaments, elastic unloading takes place because σ: D < 0. The elastic stresses work by pulling the fluid in axially and pushing it out radially, thereby drastically increasing the tip velocity.  However, this enhancement in contraction velocity is not observed in low to intermediate viscosity prestressed filaments and whose Newtonian counterparts typically experience end-pinching. It has been established by others that end-pinching can be precluded in either filaments of intermediate viscosity or surfactant-laden filaments of low viscosity through a process known as escape from end-pinching. In this study, we demonstrate that a similar escape can also occur in prestressed viscoelastic filaments of low-to-intermediate viscosity, as revealed by one-dimensional numerical simulations and rationalized by examining when and where the elastic recoil takes place.</p> <p>Beyond cylindrical filaments, thin liquid films or planar liquid sheets are also prevalent in atomization, curtain coating, and other processes where liquid sheet stability has been a subject of extensive research. Numerous authors have examined wave formation and growth leading to sheet breakup. Free liquid films or sheets without edges or caps at their two ends, which typically have two free surfaces and are surrounded by air or sometimes another liquid, can destabilize and rupture due to intermolecular van der Waals attractive forces, despite the stabilizing influence of surface tension. In this thesis, the dynamics of contracting free films or sheets with caps---two-dimensional (2D) drops---of Newtonian fluids is examined without considering van der Waals forces to confirm or refute the hypothesis that such systems can rupture due to finite-amplitude perturbations even in the absence of intermolecular forces. In particular, both two-dimensional and one-dimensional high-accuracy simulations are employed to demonstrate that unlike inviscid 2D drops that can rupture in the absence of van der Waals forces, 2D drops or sheets can escape from pinch-off due to the action of viscous forces which are present in real systems no matter how small their viscosity. The reopening of the interface and escape from pinch-off in 2D drops and sheets are explained by demonstrating the key role played by vorticity. New power-law relations or scaling laws are obtained as a function of Ohnesorge number (ratio of viscous to the square root of the product of inertial and capillary forces) for the value of the minimum film thickness for which 2D drops or sheets stop thinning and after which the interface begins to reopen. Simple yet powerful arguments are presented rationalizing these scaling laws. It is expected that these power-law relations should be of great interest to experimentalists who study such phenomena by high-speed visualization experiments.</p> <p>Some of the motivation for this thesis research comes from crop spraying applications in which achieving zero or negligible drift is highly desirable. To further the understanding of fluid mechanics underpinning current and future drift reduction technologies, a simplified experimental setup is adopted to generate liquid sheets and analyze their disintegration into droplets. This new setup is both simpler and more universal than commonly utilized experimental systems that use single or multiple nozzles to generate liquid sheets and spray droplets from the disintegration of free liquid films. In the current experiments, droplets of test fluids are made to collide with or impact the top planar surface of a solid cylinder or rod. A series of MATLAB codes are developed and employed to extract droplet size distributions from images that are obtained from high-speed visualization experiments. The experimental setup and the means of data analysis are then used to probe the effect of fluid properties on the dynamics of sheet disintegration and droplet size distributions. It is hoped that future researchers will be able to combine what has been done in this thesis by simulations and in this chapter via experimental observations to develop an improved mechanistic understanding of spray formation.</p>
