Wir schlagen einen allgemein anwendbaren Algorithmus vor, der unter Verwendung des Skalarprodukts von Kraft und Weg zum richtigen Vorzeichen in den Gleichungen für die Arbeit und die Potentielle Energie bei reversiblen Prozessen (Druck-Volumen-Änderung, Dehnung, Elektrostatische Wechselwirkung, Hub)führt. Wir zeigen, dass es dabei möglich ist, systemimmanente oder externe Kräfte zu benutzen. Wir zeigen, dass bei Verwendung von systemimmanenten Kräften das Skalarprodukt mit negativem Vorzeichen anzusetzen ist. Zudem ist es sehr wichtig, nötige Vorzeichenwechsel bei den einzelnen Schritten zu beachten. Wir betonen dies, weil gelegentlich übersehen wird, dass ein Vorzeichenwechsel nötig ist, wenn das Wegdifferential ds durch das Höhendifferential dh beziehungsweise durch das Abstandsdifferential dx oder dr ersetzt werden muss.

This thesis describes the application of the first-order Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) to the autoignition of high-pressure fuel jets, and to piloted and lifted turbulent jet flames using classical and advanced CMC submodels. A Doubly-Conditional Moment Closure (DCMC) formulation is further proposed. In the first study, CMC is applied to investigate the impact of C₂H₆, H₂ and N₂ additives on the autoignition of high-pressure CH₄ jets injected into lower pressure heated air. A wide range of pre-combustion air temperatures is considered and detailed chemical kinetics are employed. It is demonstrated that the addition of C₂H₆ and H₂ does not change the main CH₄ oxidisation pathways. The decomposition of these additives provides additional ignition-promoting radicals, and therefore leads to shorter ignition delays. N₂ additives do not alter the CH₄ oxidisation pathways, however, they reduce the amount of CH₄ available for reaction, causing delayed ignition. It is further shown that ignition always occurs in lean mixtures and at low scalar dissipation rates. The second study is concerned with the modelling of a piloted CH₄/air turbulent jet flame. A detailed assessment of several Probability Density Function (PDF), Conditional Scalar Dissipation Rate (CSDR) and Conditional Velocity (CV) submodels is first performed. The results of two β-PDF-based implementations are then presented. The two realisations differ by the modelling of the CSDR. Homogeneous (inconsistent) and inhomogeneous (consistent) closures are considered. It is shown that the levels of all reactive scalars, including minor intermediates and radicals, are better predicted when the effects of inhomogeneity are included in the modelling of the CSDR. The two following studies are focused on the consistent modelling of a lifted H₂/N₂ turbulent jet flame issuing into a vitiated coflow. Two approaches are followed to model the PDF. In the first, a presumed β-distribution is assumed, whereas in the second, the Presumed Mapping Function (PMF) approach is employed. Fully consistent CV and CSDR closures based on the β-PDF and the PMF-PDF are employed. The homogeneous versions of the CSDR closures are also considered in order to assess the effect of the spurious sources which stem from the inconsistent modelling of mixing. The flame response is analysed over a narrow range of coflow temperatures (Tc). The stabilisation mechanism is determined from the analysis of the transport budgets in mixture fraction and physical spaces, and the history of radical build-up ahead of the stabilisation height. The β-PDF realisations indicate that the flame is stabilised by autoignition irrespective of the value of Tc. On the other hand, the PMF realisations reveal that the stabilisation mechanism is susceptible to Tc. Autoignition remains the controlling stabilisation mechanism for sufficiently high Tc. However, as Tc is decreased, stabilisation is achieved by means of premixed flame propagation. The analysis of the spurious sources reveals that their effect is small but non-negligible, most notably within the flame zone. Further, the assessment of several H₂ oxidation mechanisms show that the flame is very sensitive to chemical kinetics. In the last study, a DCMC method is proposed for the treatment of fluctuations in non-premixed and partially premixed turbulent combustion. The classical CMC theory is extended by introducing a normalised Progress Variable (PV) as a second conditioning variable beside the mixture fraction. The unburnt and burnt states involved in the normalisation of the PV are specified such that they are mixture fraction-dependent. A transport equation for the normalised PV is first obtained. The doubly-conditional species, enthalpy and temperature transport equations are then derived using the decomposition approach and the primary closure hypothesis is applied. Submodels for the doubly-conditioned unclosed terms which arise from the derivation of DCMC are proposed. As a preliminary analysis, the governing equations are simplified for homogeneous turbulence and a parametric assessment is performed by varying the strain rate levels in mixture fraction and PV spaces.

Les travaux de cette thèse portent sur une nouvelle structure de machine à double excitation (MSDE) pour l'application des véhicules hybrides et électriques. Ce type de machine, ayant deux sources d'excitation, bénéficie un degré de liberté supplémentaire et un contrôle facile sur le flux. Grâce à ce degré de liberté, la machine peut être dimensionnée de manière que son meilleur rendement coïncide avec la zone de fonctionnement la plus sollicitée de la machine. Cette nouvelle structure a fait l'objet principal de ce mémoire. Le fonctionnement de la MSDE est présenté dans les deux premiers chapitres. La machine est dimensionnée suivant un cahier des charges pour véhicule hybride. La validation expérimentale a confirmé le bon fonctionnement de la structure et montré son intérêt. Une autre problématique dans le dimensionnement de la machine est l'aspect thermique car les machines sont devenues de plus en plus compactes et puissantes. Une estimation correcte des pertes est indispensable pour évaluer correctement les performances de la machine. C'est la raison pour laquelle on a décidé de consacrer une partie de cette thèse à la modélisation des pertes fer, dont l'estimation n'est pas évidente. / The PhD work deals with a new structure of hybrid excited synchronous machine (MSDE) for the application of hybrid and electric vehicles. This kind of machine, with two excitation sources, benefits an additional degree of freedom and an easy control of flux. Due to this degree of freedom, the machine can be designed in the way that its best efficiency coincide with the most solicited operating zone. This new machine structure is the main subject of this study. The principle of this MSDE is presented in the first two chapters. The machine is then designed according to the specifications for an hybrid vehicle. The experimental validation has confirmed the proper functioning of the structure and shown its interest. Another important subject in the machine sizing is the thermal aspect because our machines are becoming more and more compact and powerful. A correct estimation of the iron loss is essential for evaluating correctly the machine performances. That's why we have decided to dedicate a part of this study to the modeling of iron loss, of which the estimation is not evident.

La modélisation numérique est devenue incontournable dans le monde de la conception industrielle et de la recherche scientifique. Les problèmes à résoudre étant de plus en plus complexes, il est nécessaire d'adopter une approche adaptée au problème traité. Dans les domaines d'application de l'électromagnétisme basses fréquences, la méthode des éléments finis (MEF) est la méthode de référence. Actuellement, de plus en plus de dispositifs ouverts comportant de grands entrefers sont développés. Dans ce genre de problèmes, la MEF n'est pas optimale car elle nécessite de mailler un grand volume d'air pour obtenir une bonne précision. Dans cette thèse nous étudions, au travers de deux applications (représentant respectivement un système ouvert et un système à grands entrefers) une méthode alternative qui ne souffre pas des limitations évoquées : la méthode des moments (MoM) de type intégrale volumique. En effet, cette méthode nécessite de mailler uniquement les milieux magnétiques. Le principe de cette méthode est d'abord de calculer l'aimantation induite dans le milieu linéaire ou non linéaire placé sous l'effet d'un champ extérieur. Pour cela, le milieu magnétique est discrétisé en éléments hexaédriques. Dans chaque élément est localisée une aimantation considérée comme uniforme. Ensuite, la connaissance de cette aimantation induite permet de déterminer le champ magnétique en tout point de l'espace: interne, proche ou lointain. Dans un premier temps, un code basé sur la MoM a été développé pour la première application. Il permet de calculer le champ magnétostatique proche ou lointain d'une antenne basse fréquence. Une méthode permettant de calculer l'énergie magnétostatique contenue dans tout l'espace a été également mise au point. Dans deuxième temps, afin de pouvoir traiter une géométrie complexe, des modifications ont été intégrées au code afin de modéliser la deuxième application : le dispositif de test des propulseurs à effet Hall (PPS-Flex). Il s'agit de prendre en compte des symétries géométriques et physiques caractéristiques de ce dispositif. Les résultats montrent que la MoM permet de calculer le champ magnétique à l'intérieur de son canal et éventuellement au-delà. Dans les deux exemples étudiés, la méthode des moments a donné des résultats satisfaisants lors de la comparaison avec la méthode des éléments finis 3D et avec les résultats de mesures. Ces résultats montrent des gains potentiellement significatifs sur le plan des temps de calculs. A l'issu de cette thèse, nous disposons d'un outil de laboratoire permettant de modéliser le comportement du champ magnétostatique dans des systèmes ouverts et/ou à grands entrefers. / The numerical modeling has become essential in the world of industrial design and scientific research. The problems to be solved are increasingly complex making it necessary to adopt an appropriate approach for the problem addressed. In the domains of application of low frequency electromagnetic, the finite element method (FEM) is the reference method. Currently, more and more devices having large open gaps are developed. In this kind of problems, the MEF is not optimal as it requires to mesh a large volume of air to get a good accuracy. In this thesis we study, through two applications (an open system and a large gap system), an alternative method that does not suffer from the limitations discussed: the method of moments (MoM) of volume integral type. Indeed, this method requires to mesh only the magnetic media. The principle of this method is first to calculate the induced magnetization in the linear or nonlinear medium under the effect of an external field. To accomplish this, the magnetic medium is discretized into hexahedral elements. In each element, a uniform magnetization is localized. Then, the determination of this induced magnetization allows to compute the magnetic field at any point in the space: internal, near or far. In the first step, a code based on the MoM has been developed for the first application. It allows to calculate the magnetostatic field near or far from a low-frequency antenna. A method to calculate the magnetostatic energy in the whole space was also developed. Meanwhile, in the second step, in order to treat complex geometry, some modifications have been integrated into the code to model the second application: the test device of Hall effect thrusters (PPS-Flex). It consists in taking into account the physical characteristics and geometric symmetry of the device. The results show that MoM allows to calculate the magnetic field inside the channel and possibly beyond. In both examples studied, the MoM has given satisfactory results when compared with the 3D finite element method and with the results of measurements. These results show potentially significant gains in the computation time. At the end of this thesis, we have developed a laboratory tool allowing to model the behavior of the static magnetic field in open and/or wide-gap systems.

La dissolution du dioxyde d’uranium en milieu nitrique est une étape clef du traitement des combustibles nucléaires usés. Elle précède en effet le procédé PUREX, qui permet l’extraction liquide - liquide des radionucléides valorisables. Cette dissolution est triphasique et autocatalytique, ce qui fait que de nombreux phénomènes impactent la réaction. Une bonne compréhension de ces phénomènes, autant à l’échelle microscopique que macroscopique, est nécessaire pour pouvoir proposer un modèle de la vitesse de disparition du solide au sein des dissolveurs. Les paramètres cinétiques de la réaction de dissolution ont été déterminés, en intégrant son aspect autocatalytique. L’étude cinétique a été réalisée en suivant la dissolution par microscopie optique. Cette technique d’analyse permet une approche uni-particulaire, qui est nécessaire car elle permet de limiter l’accumulation de l’espèce autocatalytique à l’interface solide – liquide. De plus, la dissolution du dioxyde d’uranium produit des oxydes d’azote. Une réaction volumique entre ces gaz et le catalyseur a été mise en évidence. Les cinétiques de cette réaction ont été estimées à partir des résultats expérimentaux. L’importance de la prise en compte des échanges à l’interface gaz – liquide pour définir la concentration de catalyseur en solution a été démontrée. Un modèle a été réalisé sur Matlab pour permettre de discriminer l’influence de ces différents éléments. Ce modèle donne des résultats cohérents avec l’expérimental, aussi bien à l’échelle microscopique que macroscopique. Plusieurs nombres adimensionnels ont également été mis en évidence pour cerner les phénomènes dont l’impact est prépondérant, en fonction de la géométrie et de l’hydrodynamique du dissolveur. Ce modèle a permis de cerner quelques pistes d’optimisation de procédés mettant en jeux des réactions autocatalytiques. Notamment, le fait que pour ces réactions particulières, les échanges aux interfaces solide - liquide et liquide - gaz peuvent être utilisés comme leviers pour maitriser la vitesse de disparition du solide / Recycling of nuclear fuel is based on liquid – liquid extraction. The dissolution of uranium dioxide in nitric medium is hence a key step at the head - end of the entire process. This particular dissolution is triphasic and autocatalytic, which means that numerous phenomena must be taken into account. A complete understanding of these phenomena, at macroscopic and microscopic scale, is necessary in order to model the solid disappearance rate in dissolvers. The kinetical parameters of the reaction were determined for both the catalyzed and non-catalyzed reactions. The kinetic study was realized thanks to a single particle approach. The reaction rates were measured by optical microscopy. This analytical technic enables to limit the catalyst accumulation at the solid - liquid interface. Moreover, nitrous oxides are products of the uranium dioxide dissolution. Evidence of a volumic reaction between these gases and the catalyst were found, and the kinetics of this reaction was estimated from the experimental results. Gas – liquid exchanges were shown to have an important impact on the catalyst concentration in the reactor. A model was realized thanks to the software Matlab to simulate these different phenomena. It was shown to be in good agreement with experimental results, at the microscopic and macroscopic scale. Dimensionless numbers were highlighted to describe the impact of each phenomenon on the solid disappearance, including the influence of the geometry and hydrodynamics of the reactor. Finally, ways of process optimization for autocatalytic reactions were determined thanks to the model. For instance, gas – liquid and solid – liquid exchanges were shown to be an interesting lever to fix the catalyst concentration in the reactor and at the solid surface

By postulating the Palatini variation, we nd out that the role played by the scalar eld consists in turning the space-time geometry into a Weyl integrable manifold. This procedure leads to a scalar-tensor theory that di ers from the original Brans-Dicke theory in many aspects and presents some new features. We also consider the Weyl integrable geometry to investigate gravity in (2+1)-dimensions. We show that, in addition to leading to a Newtonian limit, WIST in (2+1) dimensions presents some interesting properties that are not shared by Einstein theory, such as geodesic deviation between particles in a dust distribution. Finally, taking advantage of the duality between the geometrical scalar-tensor theory and general relativity coupled with a massless scalar eld we study naked singularities and wormholes. / Esta tese trata de tópicos relacionados às teorias escalares-tensoriais e a geometria de Weyl integrável. Nossa abordagem será no sentido de indicar a geometria de Weyl integr ável como sendo um ambiente natural para a introdução de teorias escalares-tensorias. Nossa discussão será em torno da teoria de Brans-Dicke, considerada o protótipo das teorias escalares tensoriais, no entanto a discussão é facilmente estendida para essas versões mais gerais. Fazemos isso em dois momentos. Primeiro, indicando, no âmbito da teoria de Brans-Dicke, que na estrutura geométrica e de campos adotadas pela teoria existe uma relação estreita com a geometria de Weyl, inclusive associando o efeito descrito na literatura como "quinta força"(que violaria o princípio de equivalência) com o movimento geodésico da geometria de Weyl integrável, reformulando o postulado geodésico. E, num segundo momento, usando o método variacional de Palatini, acabamos por formular uma nova teoria escalar-tensorial, agora com ingredientes completamente geométricos, ambientada numa geometria de Weyl integrável. Estudamos ainda soluções no vazio do problema estático de uma distribuição de massa esfericamente simétrica, onde surgem objetos de interesse astrofísico como singularidades nuas e buracos de minhoca. Também formulamos a teoria conhecida por WIST (Weyl Integrable Spacetimes) em (2 + 1)D, o que resulta numa teoria consistente, não sofrendo das falhas associadas à teoria da relatividade geral nessa dimensionalidade

This formulation is done using the Palatini's variation procedure. The main point of our work is to perform two particular applications of the geometrical Brans-Dicke theory. The rst one is the study of geometric fase transition phenomena, that's related to a continuous change in the space-time structure of the universe from a Riemann's geometry to a Weyl's geometry, or in the inverse sense, from Weyl's geometry to Riemann's geometry. This phenomena seems to take place when the universe starts to expand in a accelerated rate. The second one is the investigation of classical and quantum behaviour of a anisotropic n-dimensional universe . To nd solutions that display the dynamical compacti cation of non observed extra dimensions is the main motivation to study such universe. / Nesta tese, reapresentamos uma teoria escalar tensorial geométrica, que é uma versão da gravitação de Brans-Dicke formulada em um espaço-tempo de Weyl integrável. Com esta teoria fazemos duas aplicações especí cas. Uma delas para o estudo de um fenômeno, que chamamos de transição de fase geométrica, uma mudança contínua na estrutura geom étrica do espaço-tempo. Este fenômeno parece ocorrer quando o universo se expande aceleradamente. A segunda aplicação reside no estudo clássico e quântico do comportamento de um modelo de universo n-dimensional anisotrópico. A motivação para esta investigação é a busca de soluções que exibem o compactação dinâmica das dimensões extras, que não são observadas.

After setting up this theoretical framework, it is studied the behavior of a charged particle in the presence of a cosmic string, parallel to an uniform, constant magnetic field, which may be used as a model to a primordial large-scale magnetic field that permeates the universe. The geometry of a negative disclination is taken into account, this being a typically condensed matter physics topological defect equivalent to a cosmic string, where a wedge of material is inserted into the lattice. We computed exactly, the topological and electrostatic influences on the particles energy spectrum, and the phase shift for the charged scalar particle scattered states. Switching to a flat-spacetime context, spherically symmetric systems were studied, solving exactly, Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations which describe a scalar particle subject to a Coulomb vector potential and scalar central potentials. / Apresentamos uma revisão sobre a origem e a natureza dos defeitos topológicos, que surgem a partir de transições de fase que podem ter ocorrido no início do processo de formação do universo; sobre a mecânica quântica não-relativística e relativística; e sobre as auto-forças gravitacional e eletrostática que emergem da topologia cônica do espaço-tempo gerado pela corda cósmica. Utilizando estas ferramentas, estudamos o movimento de uma partícula carregada na presença de uma corda cósmica, paralela a um campo magnético uniforme, de magnitude constante, que poderia servir de modelo para um campo magnético primordial. Também consideramos a geometria anti-cônica de uma desclinação negativa, defeito topológico análogo à corda cósmica estudado em matéria condensada. Calculamos, exatamente, a influência da topologia e do campo magnético no espectro de energia da partícula e encontramos o ângulo de mudança de fase para seus estados espalhados. No espaço-tempo plano, estudamos sistemas com simetria esférica e investigamos a dinâmica de uma partícula escalar, resolvendo, exatamente, as equações de Klein-Gordon e Dirac, considerando potenciais centrais.
