Biofilms are microbial communities developing at the interface between two phases, usually solidliquid, where the micro-organisms are nested in a self-secreted polymer matrix. The biofilm mode of growth is predominant in nature (for e.g. the slimy matter forming on rocks at river bottoms, the viscous deposit in water pipes or even dental plaque) and confers a suitable environment for the development of the micro-organisms. This is particularly the case for porous media which provide favourable substrates given their significant surface to volume ratio. The multi-physical framework of biofilms in porous media is highly complex where the mechanical, chemical and biological aspects interacting at different scales are poorly understood and very partially controlled. An example is the feedback mechanism between flow, spatial distribution of the micro-organisms and the transport of nutrient (by diffusion and advection). Biofilms developing in porous media are a key process of many engineering applications, for example biofilters, soil bio-remediation, CO2 storage and medical issues like infections. Progress in this domain is substantially hindered by the limitations of experimental techniques in metrology and imaging in opaques structures. The main objective of this thesis is to propose robust and reproducible experimental methodologies for the investigation of biofilms in porous media. An experimental workbench under controlled physical and biological conditions is proposed along with a validated 3D imaging protocol based on X-ray micro-tomography (XR MT) using a novel contrast agent (barium sulfate and agarose gel) to quantify the spatial distribution of the biofilm. At first, the XR MT-based methodology is compared to a commonly used techniques for biofilm observation: one or multiple photon excitation fluorescence microscopy, here two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM). This comparison is performed on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa biofilms grown in transparent glass capillaries which allows for the use of both imaging modalities. Then, the study of uncertainty associated to different metrics namely volume, 3D surface area and thickness, is achieved via an imaging phantom and three different segmentation algorithms. The quantitative analysis show that the protocol enables a visualisation of the biofilm with an uncertainty of approximately 17% which is comparable to TPLSM (14%). The reproducibility and robustness of the XR MT-based methodology is demonstrated. The last step of this work is the achievement of a novel bioreactor elaborated by additive manufacturing and controlled by a high-performance micro-fluidic system. The experimental workbench that we have designed enables to monitor in real-time the evolution of transport properties (effective permeability), O2 concentrations and biofilm detachment by spectrophotometry, all under controlled hydrodynamical conditions. Our methodology allows to investigate the influence of biophysical parameters on the colonisation of the porous medium, for example, the influence of flow rate or nutrient concentration on the temporal development of the biofilm. In conclusion, the thesis work proposes a robust and reproducible experimental methodology for the controlled growth and 3D imaging of biofilms in porous media; while providing versatility in the control of the substrate’s micro-architecture as well as on the flow and biochemical culture conditions. To our knowledge, the scientific approach followed, along with the experimental apparatus, form the most complete methodology, at this time, for the study of biofilms in porous media.

Ce travail de thèse s’inscrit dans lecadre du projet « MOMEQA » dont l’objectif est le soutien à l’innovation dans l’industrie horlogère en Franche-Comté. La première impression visuelle conditionne notre relation à l’objet, c’est pourquoi une finition soignée est primordiale. L’électropolissage est un procédéde dissolution électrochimique permettant der éduire la rugosité de surface d’un objet. La pièce traitée constitue l’anode dans une cellule d’électrolyse. La première partie de l’étude est consacrée aux laitons et à l’acier inoxydable 316 L. Une étude électrochimique préliminaire a permis de définir les conditions optimales d’électropolissage pour chaque matériau et milieu. La suite de l’étude a été dédiée à l’étude des comportements des aciers inoxydables 316L de fonderie comme de fabrication additive, afin de mettre en évidence l’influence du procédé de fabrication sur l’aptitude à l’électropolissage. Un dispositif spécialement conçu a également permis de faire varier les conditions hydrodynamiques et d’appliquer des ultrasons,en vue d’optimiser l’agitation. L’obtention d’une finition poli miroir sur des carrures de montres a validé la conception du pilote. Enfin, l’usage d’un électrolyte moins nocif que les mélanges d’acides, le Deep Eutectic Solvent constitué d’un mélange de chlorure de choline et d’éthylène glycol se montre prometteur. L’utilisation de ces olvant non-conventionnel permet d’utiliser des techniques d’analyses de surface impraticables in-situ en milieu très corrosif, tel que l’AFM. Finalement, un modèle décrivant les mécanismes d’électropolissage de l’acier inoxydable 316 L dans les deux milieux a été proposé, qui permet une bonne simulation des résultats de spectroscopie d’impédance électrochimique / This work is part of the project"MOMEQA" whose main purpose is to supportinnovation in watchmaking industry in Franche-Comté. For high-end pieces, the first visualimpression is crucial and that is why a neatfinishing is required. This is achieved byelectropolishing, which consists in anelectrochemical dissolution process that enablessurface roughness reduction. Although it ispresent in several applications, fundamentalmechanisms of electrochemical polishingremain poorly understood and tailoring theprocess to additive manufacturing parts is in itsearly stages. The first part of the study isdedicated to brass and 316L stainless steel.Basic electrolytic baths (H3PO4 for brasses anda H3PO4/ H2SO4 mixture for 316L stainlesssteel) are used as references. A preliminaryelectrochemical study allows the determinationof optimal electropolishing conditions for eachmaterial and medium. A special attention hasbeen paid to characterization methods, such asmicro-roughness, brightness, microstructure,texture and corrosion resistance. Subsequently,the study was restricted to both cast and additivemanufacturing 316L stainless steels, in order toidentify the influence of manufacturing processon the electropolishing ability. To meet theproject requirements, a pilot cell dedicated tolarge area parts was designed and built. The aimwas to study the scale-up as well as the effectsof workpieces shape. The outcome of this studywas the realization of a mirror finish on a watchdial, allowing validation of the pilot-cell design.The last part of our study consists in replicatingthe process in a less harmful electrolyte, a greensolvent (Deep Eutectic Solvent), made by amixture of choline chloride and ethylene glycol.This allows successful electropolishing,compatible with an industrial application.Moreover, it makes possible in-situ AFMmeasurements, impossible in highly corrosiveelectrolytes. Finally, a model forelectropolishing mechanism in the case of 316Lstainless steel was proposed for both media,allowing a good simulation of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy behaviour.

A força hidrodinâmica em termos dos coeficientes de massa adicional e amortecimento, para obstáculos aproximadamente circulares, finos e submersos sob uma superfície livre aquática, é calculada numericamente usando um método espectral. Primeiramente, é apresentado um modelo matemático para ondas aquáticas de superfície e em seguida, o problema de difração de ondas devido à presença de um obstáculo é descrito. Quando o obstáculo é submerso e fino, o problema pode ser formulado em termos de uma equação integral hipersingular. Usando um mapeamento conforme sobre um disco circular, é mostrado que a solução pode ser obtida através de um método espectral onde a hipersingularidade é avaliada analiticamente em termos de polinômios ortogonais. Os coeficientes da força hidrodinâmica, em função do número de onda, são obtidos para obstáculos quase circulares. A ocorrência de frequências ressoantes ´e observada para submersões suficientemente pequenas e subpicos de ressonância aparecem para valores moderados da submersão, em comparação com o caso do disco circular. / The hydrodynamic force, in terms of the added mass and damping coefficients, for thin and submerged nearly circular obstacles below a water free surface is computed by a spectral method. Firstly, a mathematical model for surface water waves is presented. Next, the diffraction problem of waves due to the presence of an obstacle is described. When the body is thin and submerged, the problem can be formulated in terms of a hypersingular integral equation. Using a conformal mapping over a circular disc, it is shown that the solution can be obtained by means of a spectral method where the hipersingularity is analytically evaluated in terms of orthogonal polynomials. The hydrodynamics coefficients, in function of the wavenumber, are computed and shown for nearly circular obstacles. The occurrence of resonant frequencies is observed for sufficiently small submergences and subpeaks of resonances appear for moderate values of the submergence, in comparison with the case of a circular disc.

Apresentamos o teorema de limite hidrodinâmico para o processo de exclusão simples simétrico com taxa lenta no bordo. Neste processo, partículas descrevem passeios aleatórios independentes no espaço {O, 1, , N}, respeitando a regra de exclusão (que afirma que duas partículas não ocupam o mesmo lugar ao mesmo instante). Paralelamente, partículas podem nascer ou morrer nos sítios O e N com taxas proporcionais a N-1 . Com o devido reescalonamento, a densidade de partículas converge para a solução fraca de urna equação diferencial parcial parabólica. Além disso, no primeiro capítulo, apresentamos seções sobre o Teorema de Prohorov, o espaço das funções càdlàg e a métrica de Skorohod definida nesse espaço. / We present the hydrodynamic limit theorem for the simple symmetric exclusion process with slow driven boundary. In this process, particles describe independent random walks in the space {O, 1, , N}, using the exclusion rule (which says that two particles do not occupy the same place at the same time). We also suppose that particles can be born or die on the sites O and N with rates proportional to N -1 . With the right rescaling procedure, the density of particles converges to the weak solution of a parabolic partial differential equation. In the first chapter, we present sections about Prohorov's Theorem, the càdlàg function space and Skorohod's metric defined in this space.

Modelos analíticos e numéricos têm sido aplicados por anos, entretanto, eles nem sempre apresentam as condições reais dessas máquinas. Por isso, o uso de procedimentos experimentais para a avaliação e validação de resultados de máquinas rotativas é importante para a etapa de projeto mecânico. O uso de modelos em escala, por exemplo, turbinas hidráulicas ou turbinas a vapor, tem sido comum nesta área. Um rotor é dividido em várias partes, sendo uma delas os elementos de suporte, mais especificamente os mancais. Os mancais podem ser divididos em vários tipos, os mais utilizados são os do tipo rolamento e tipo hidrodinâmico. Devido este último ser o mais encontrado em máquinas pesadas, seu estudo é muito importante. Este trabalho objetiva apresentar o projeto de um protótipo de um mancal hidrodinâmico e sua avaliação experimental. O mancal desenvolvido consiste de uma bucha de bronze montada sobre uma casa de mancal de alumínio e sistemas de vedação para o óleo lubrificante. As geometrias das buchas e as propriedades dos fluidos foram analisadas pela medição do comportamento dinâmico de um rotor apoiados por esses mancais. Esta avaliação foi baseada na medição de uma bancada do tipo Jeffcott apoiada em um par de mancais hidrodinâmicos em condições diversas, incluindo combinações entre mancais do tipo rolamento e hidrodinâmico, variação da geometria interna da bucha de bronze e uso de mancal de material compósito com lubrificação de contorno. Podendo concluir que mancais com buchas de geometria fixa e cilíndrica mostram um comportamento anisotrópico, causado pela diferença de rigidez entre os planos horizontal e vertical. Ao variar para mancais de geometria assimétrica (Elíptico e Offset-halves), buchas de material compósito e modificação do tipo de lubrificação este fenômeno de anisotropia é reduzido, levando a condição de apoio para mais próxima de isotrópica. A combinação entre diferentes mancais (rolamento e hidrodinâmico) levou à observação da análise de mancais montados próximo a região do acoplamento de torque e também a importância do sentido da rotação do rotor para a formação do filme de óleo e evitar o seu sobreaquecimento. / Studies related to rotary machines are very important to support and keep the operation of large machines such as turbochargers or turbines. Analytical and numerical models have been applied for years, however, they do not always present the real condition of these machines. Therefore, the use of experimental procedures for the evaluation and validation of rotating machine results is important for mechanical design step. The use of scale models, for example, hydraulic turbines or steam turbines, has been very common in this area. A rotor is divided into several parts, one of which is the support elements, more specifically the bearings. The bearings can be divided into several types, the most common are the ball/roller bearing and the hydrodynamic bearing. Due to the latter be the most applied in heavy machinery, his study is very important. This work aims to show the design of a prototype of a hydrodynamic bearing and its experimental evaluation. The developed bearing consists of a bronze bushing mounted on an aluminum bearing housing and sealing systems for lubricating oil. The bushing geometries and the properties of the fluids are analyzed by measuring the dynamic behavior of a rotor supported by these bearings. This evaluation was based on the measurement of a Jeffcott rotor test bench supported by hydrodynamic bearings under a variety of conditions, including combinations of rolling and hydrodynamic type bearings,variation of the internal geometry of the bronze bushing and use of composite material bearing for the bush with contour lubrication. It may be concluded that bearings with fixed and cylindrical geometry bearings show an anisotropic behavior caused by the difference in rigidity between the horizontal and vertical planes. When the bush is changed for asymmetric geometries (Elliptical and Offset-halves), composite material bushings and modification of the lubrication type, the anisotropy phenomenon is reduced, leading to a supportive condition closer to isotropic. The combination of different bearings (ball/roller bearing and hydrodynamic bearing) led to the observation the analysis of mounted bearings near a torque coupling region and also the importance of the direction of rotation for oil film formation and to avoid his overheating.

O uso deste reator torna-se atraente devido à possibilidade de mantê-lo com uma alta concentração de biomassa ativa, propiciando seu porte compacto, conseqüência do reduzido período de detenção hidráulica. A eficiência do biofilme no tratamento depende das condições hidrodinâmicas do reator, uma vez que sua espessura pode ser alterada de acordo com a velocidade de circulação, e a transferência de oxigênio através de suas camadas depende da vazão de ar injetada no sistema. O trabalho propôs-se a investigar a influência da relação entre diâmetros dos tubos concêntricos em quatro configurações, mantendo o diâmetro externo constante e igual a 250 mm e alterando o diâmetro interno entre 100, 125, 150 e 200 mm, proporcionando relações Ae/Ai iguais a 5,25; 3,00; 1,78 e; 0,56, respectivamente. O tubo interno possui 2,22 m e é posicionado 0,05m acima do fundo do reator. A altura estática da coluna de fluido foi 2,35 m. Os ensaios hidrodinâmicos – velocidade do líquido, fração volumétrica de ar, tempo de mistura – e os de transferência de oxigênio foram realizados para vazões de ar até 2500 l/h em meio bifásico e em meio trifásico com concentrações de areia iguais a 30, 70, 100 e 150 g/l. O diâmetro interno de 125 mm foi o mais eficiente na indução de velocidade de circulação do líquido. A fração volumétrica de ar aumentou com o aumento do diâmetro interno para mesmas velocidades superficiais de ar, com exceção do menor diâmetro, o qual apresentou comportamento diferenciado dos demais. Os reator com diâmetro interno de 150 mm apresentou maiores valores de KLa para as mesmas vazões de ar. Observou-se que a adição de sólidos causou um decréscimo da velocidade do líquido e da fração... / Aerobic internal-loop airlift reactor has some characteristics that allow wastewater treatment in a single stage. The attractive to use this kind of reactor is mainly because of its capacity of maintaining a high active biomass concentration into it, which induces its small structure, in a consequence of its small hydraulic detention time. The biofilm efficiency in the treatment depends on reactor’s hydrodynamic conditions. The structure of the biofilm and the oxygen transfer into its layers is affected by the liquid velocity induced by the air flow rate. This work proposed an investigation about the influence of the diameter of the concentric tubes, using four geometric configurations. The model had a 250 mm external tube and the inner draft tube with diameters of 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm, which means AD/AR equals to 5.25, 3.00, 1.78 and 0.56, respectively. The draft tube’s height was 2,22 m and was positioned 0,05 m above the bottom of the reactor. The static fluid height was 2,35 m. The hydrodynamic tests – liquid velocities, gas hold up, mixture time – and the oxygen transfer tests were conducted for two and three-phase systems, with variable air flow rate up to 2500 l/h. The solid phase concentrations used were 30, 70, 100 and 150 g/l. The 125 mm reactor was the most efficient in inducing the liquid circulation velocity. The gas hold up increased with the increasing of the draft tube diameter, for same superficial gas velocities, excepting the 100 mm, which showed a different behavior. The 150 mm reactor presented the highest values for KLa for the same air rate. It was noticed that the solids addiction decreased the liquid velocity, gas hold up and oxygen transfer. Hydrodynamics equations found in literature showed a limited applicability, evidencing the necessity of relations capable to reach the most different configuration for this kind of reactor.

This area has a very marked coastal dynamic owing to the complexity of its geomorphological features, developed in a regime of semidiurnal mesotides involving reefs, spits, estuaries, mangroves, lakes and dunes. The region also plays an important role in the socioeconomic development of the state, given that the production of oil, natural gas, salt and shrimp is concentrated there. The series of oil platforms is interconnected by a pipeline system that carries oil to the local terminal. This pipeline could leak at any moment, causing immense ecological damage. To gauge the risks of an oil leak and resulting contamination of the coastal region, two hydrodynamic scenarios were simulated. The results obtained were used to implement a contaminant transport model with the creation of various oil leak scenarios modeled at different volumes (from small to large) and intensities (sporadic and continuous), at points considered critical for the model (on two platforms and at two pipeline intersections), under different wind (summer and winter) and tidal (high and low at new, full and quarter moon phases) conditions. The use of hydrodynamic circulation computer models as a tool for representing a real project design has been increasingly frequent in recent years, given that they enable the realistic simulation of the hydrodynamic circulation pattern in bodies of water and an analysis of the impacts caused by contaminants released into the water. This study used the computer models contained in SisBAHIA?, in continuous development in the area of Coastal Engineering and Oceanography at COPPE/UFRJ / Esta disserta??o apresenta um estudo sobre a hidrodin?mica costeira e a dispers?o da nuvem contaminante de ?leo na regi?o frontal a Macau e Galinhos, no litoral setentrional do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte no Nordeste do Brasil. Essa regi?o apresenta uma din?mica costeira muito acentuada devido a uma complexidade em suas fei??es geomorfol?gicas, desenvolvidas em regime de mesomar?s semidiurnas, que apresenta praias, recifes, spit, estu?rios, mangues, lagoas e dunas. A regi?o tamb?m possui um papel importante no desenvolvimento s?cio-econ?mico do Estado, por concentrar a produ??o de petr?leo e g?s natural, sal e, mais recentemente, a carcinicultura. O conjunto de plataformas petrol?feras ? interligado por dutos que levam o ?leo para o P?lo Petrol?fero localizado na regi?o e que podem a qualquer instante apresentar um vazamento que pode tomar propor??es de grande estrago ecol?gico. Para que os riscos de vazamento e contamina??o da regi?o praial fossem levantados, dois cen?rios hidrodin?micos foram simulados. Os resultados obtidos foram utilizados na implementa??o de um modelo de transporte de contaminantes com a cria??o de v?rios cen?rios de vazamentos modelados em diferentes volumes (de pequeno e grande porte) e intensidades (pontuais e cont?nuos), em pontos tomados como cr?ticos para o modelo (em duas plataformas e em duas interse??es de dutos), em diversas condi??es de ventos (ver?o e inverno) e mar?s (preamar e baixamar de siz?gia e de quadratura). A utiliza??o de modelos computacionais de circula??o hidrodin?mica como ferramenta para a representa??o de uma situa??o real de projeto tem sido cada vez mais freq?ente nos ?ltimos anos, visto que eles possibilitam a simula??o, com bastante realismo, do padr?o de circula??o hidrodin?mica em corpos d ?gua e analisam os impactos causados por lan?amentos de contaminantes na ?gua.

Estudamos o fenômeno de correlação entre dois bosons idênticos (efeito Hanbury Brown-Twiss) no caso de fontes em rápida expansão. Partimos da hipótese que, em colisões hadrônicas a altas energias, forma-se um plasma de quarks e gluons, o qual se expande de acordo com as equações do Modelo Hidrodinâmico de Landau. Ao atingir a temperatura crítica, o fluido sofre uma transição de fase de plasma para hadrons usuais, os quais são então emitidos. Estudamos a dependência da função de correlação de duas partículas em algumas grandezas, como por exemplo, no momento transversal médio das partículas finais e na massa do estado de plasma inicialmente formado. Analisamos também a compatibilidade dos cálculos efetuados com alguns dados experimentais disponíveis. Mostramos que a consideração de expansão da fonte emissora introduz efeitos cinemáticos importantes no comportamento da função de correlação. Assim sendo, os resultados usualmente obtidos com a hipótese de fontes estáticas devem ser completamente modificados no caso de fontes que se expandem rapidamente, como aquelas formadas em colisões hadrônicas a altas energias. / The phenomenon of correlation among two identical bosons (Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect) is studied for rapidly expanding sources. We consider the hypothesis of a quark-gluon plasma formation in high energy hadronic collisions, which expands according to Landau\'s Hydrodynamical Model. When the fluid reaches the critical temperature it undergoes a phase transition from plasma to ordinary hadrons t which are then emitted. We study the dependence of the two-particle correlation function on some quantities, such as the average transverse momentum of final particles and the mass of the initially formed plasma. Vile also analyse the compatibility of our resulte with some available experimental data. We show that the source expansion causes important kinematical effects Oh the behavior of the correlation function. Being so, the results usually obtained by means of static sources, should be completely changed in case of rapidly expanding ones, such as the sources formed in high energy hadronic collisions.
