Dispositifs microfluidiques pour l’injection de fluides à travers un réseau de gouttes : application biocapteur / Microfluidic device for injecting fluids through close-packed droplets : Application to biosensors

Azzopardi, Charles-Louis 28 June 2018 (has links)
La microfluidique, domaine de recherche qui a émergé il y a juste 20 ans, a permis de réduire les dimensions des dispositifs d’analyse biologique ouvrant la porte au concept de « laboratoire-sur-puce » (lab-on-chip). Les succès de cette approche sont déjà nombreux, depuis l’analyse du génome en passant par la réduction du coût des analyses médicales. L’utilisation de gouttes comme enceinte réactionnelle au sein de ces dispositifs est une évolution récente qui permet de réduire encore le volume des échantillons biologiques et d’augmenter la vitesse d’analyse en parallélisant les mesures.Notre équipe développe des capteurs acoustiques dédiés à la détection d’analytes biologiques en milieu liquide. Ce type de capteur a pour principal défaut de ne permettre qu’une mesure contraignant au remplacement de l’interface de biodétection pour une réutilisation éventuelle du capteur. Dès lors, ils utilisent majoritairement une chambre de détection tout ou partie jetable, même si quelques travaux de recherche ont pu montrer la régénération d’un capteur par traitement chimique.Nous proposons ici de s’affranchir des étapes lourdes de remplacement ou de traitement de l’interface de détection qui conduisent entre chaque mesure au démontage du dispositif de détection. Nous employons dans ce cas les gouttes non plus comme enceinte réactionnelle mais comme interface de détection mobile. Elles ont ainsi le potentiel d’être générées et fonctionnalisées directement dans le dispositif pour détecter un analyte spécifique et peuvent être simplement évacuées afin de régénérer l’interface pour effectuer une mesure différente.Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse visent plus particulièrement la capture sur gouttes fonctionnalisées dans ce type de capteur innovant. Ils exposent le développement, incluant la fabrication et la caractérisation, de ces dispositifs microfluidiques ainsi que le montage d’un banc de test expérimental dédié. Ce sujet est suivi de deux projets ancillaires de développement de dispositifs microfluidiques liés aux capteurs acoustiques et à l’utilisation de gouttes. Le premier vise à homogénéiser les vitesses d’écoulements dans une chambre réactionnelle. Le second exploite les propriétés de génération de gouttes pour réaliser un condensateur à capacité variable. / Since two decades the research on microfluidics systems allowed creating devices for biological detection with regular improvement in compactness, functionality integration and quantity of biological sample, leading to the concept of lab-on-chip. This approach has resulted in dramatic changes in the biomedical field, for example, opening the possibility to perform genomic analysis or improving the medical analysis cost. Using droplet as reaction chamber is a recent evolution that leads to a decrease in biological sample volume and an increase in analysis speed by multiplexing.Our team develops acoustical sensors dedicated to detect biomarker of interest in liquids. The principal weakness of theses sensors lies in their need for replacement of the biodetection interface for performing a new measurement. Accordingly, they use a detection chamber partially or totally disposable. However, few research works showed reusability of sensor by regenerating the bioreceptor layer on the detection interface by chemical treatment.We are proposing to avoid the replacement or the chemical treatment of the detection interface that requires dismounting the device between measurements. We are using here droplets, not as reaction chambers but as movable detection interface. They can be generated and configured directly inside the device to detect a specific biomarker. Then, droplets can be easily evacuated and replaced through the device, which allows to chain measurement of various configurations without dismounting it.The research work conducted in this thesis focuses on the fluidic aspects of this innovative sensor. They show development, including realization and characterization, of theses microfluidic devices and its dedicated characterization setup. This project is followed by two ancillary works about development of microfluidic devices for acoustical sensors and droplets systems. The first one is aiming at the homogenization of the flow velocity inside a reaction chamber. The second one is exploiting property of droplet generation for the realization of a variable capacitance capacitor.

[en] LIQUID-LIQUID DISPLACEMENT FLOWS IN A HELE-SHAW CELL INCLUDING NON-NEWTONIAN EFFECTS / [pt] DESLOCAMENTO DE LÍQUIDOS EM CÉLULA DE HELE-SHAW CONSIDERANDO EFEITOS NÃO NEWTONIANOS

PRISCILLA RIBEIRO VARGES 28 February 2011 (has links)
[pt] Estudou-se neste trabalho o deslocamento de fluidos em meios porosos utilizando células de Hele-Shaw. Especificamente, investigou-se experimentalmente o deslocamento de um fluido não newtoniano por um newtoniano em uma célula retangular de Hele-Shaw. A instabilidade de Saffman-Taylor ou viscous fingering é um fenômeno observado quando um fluido de menor viscosidade desloca um de maior viscosidade, e a célula de Hele-Shaw é uma ferramenta conveniente para a sua observação. Esse fenômeno é muito importante em diversas aplicações, como por exemplo: recuperação secundária e terciária de petróleo, invasão de fluidos de perfuração em meios porosos, fraturamento hidráulico, processamento de polímeros, hidrologia e filtração. É vasta a literatura relativa ao estudo de fluidos newtonianos e não newtonianos deslocados por ar em células de Hele-Shaw. Entretanto, existem poucos trabalhos envolvendo deslocamentos de líquidos com viscosidades comparáveis, ou seja, razão de viscosidade diferente de zero. Apresentou-se o detalhamento do projeto de construção de uma célula de Hele-Shaw aplicável ao deslocamento de um líquido por outro líquido. A evolução da forma da interface foi analisada, através de uma câmera fotográfica, em função dos parâmetros geométricos, dinâmicos e reológicos. A partir da vetorização da forma da interface, determinou-se a eficiência do deslocamento. Sendo assim, foi definido o espectro de situações em que há formação de fingers e plugs relativos ao deslocamento de goma xantana por um óleo mineral. Não há na literatura uma convenção universal para apresentação dos resultados, logo uma contribuição original refere-se à adimensionalização proposta onde os principais parâmetros governantes são a velocidade adimensional, o número de capilaridade reológico e o índice de comportamento da goma xantana. Observou-se que para um valor constante do índice de comportamento e para um valor do número de capilaridade reológico da ordem de 10-1, a eficiência de deslocamento aumenta com a velocidade adimensional, porque a razão de viscosidade diminui. / [en] This work studied the displacement of fluids in porous media using a Hele-Shaw cell. Specifically, was investigated experimentally the displacement of a non-Newtonian fluid by a Newtonian in a rectangular Hele-Shaw cell. The Saffman-Taylor or viscous fingering instability occurs when one fluid pushes a more viscous one, and a Hele-Shaw is a convenient tool to the phenomenon observation. Applications include displacement of heavy crude oil in reservoirs, drilling fluid invasion through porous media, fracture conductivity, polymer processing, hydrology and filtration. The Saffman-Taylor instability has been extensively studied for Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids displaced by air in a Hele-Shaw cell. However displacement flows involving two liquids of comparable viscosity (nonzero viscosity ratio) have received very little attention. It was presented the details of construction of a Hele-Shaw applicable to a liquid-liquid displacement. The evolution of the shape of the interface was analyzed through a digital camera, as a function of the geometric, dynamic and rheological parameters. From tracing the shape of the interface, was determined the displacement efficiency. Thus, it was defined the spectrum of situations in which there is formation of fingers and plugs relating to displacement of xanthan gum by a mineral oil. There is no universal convention in the literature for presenting the results so a original contribution concerns the proposed dimensionless parameters. The main parameters that govern this flow are the dimensionless flow rate, the rheological capillary number and the behavior index of xanthan gum. It was observed that for a constant value of the behavior index and for a rheological capillary number of magnitude of 10-1, the displacement efficiency increases with the dimensionless flow rate, because the viscosity ratio decreases.

Woody Shaw: Development of Style in Three Versions of "The Moontrane”

Karns, Keith 05 1900 (has links)
Woody Shaw is one of the most influential jazz trumpet players of the past fifty years. Despite his importance, very few models exist that contextualize Shaw's improvisatory approach inside modern jazz pedagogy. Writers such as Rex Richardson, Eric O'Donnell, and Gavin Franklin have identified key elements of Shaw's style, and have begun a critical examination of Shaw's music. While extensive, these approaches do not take into consideration the impact free jazz had on Shaw's technique, nor do they provide a model for how to duplicate Shaw's style. This project examines four elements of Shaw's style as seen in three improvised solos on "The Moontrane." These solos are taken from early, middle, and late stages of Shaw's career. By studying scale choice, sequence and the sequential treatment of motifs, pentatonic approaches to harmonic sequence, and atypical rhythmic phrasing, this study is able to show (1) how these elements developed over the totality of Shaw's career, (2) provide a better understanding of Shaw's improvisational style, and (3) provide a basis for implementing these procedures in modern music.

"Simulação do processo de moldagem por injeção 2D usando malhas não estruturadas" / Simulation of the 2D Injection Molding Process Using Unstructured Meshes

Estacio, Kémelli Campanharo 29 March 2004 (has links)
Moldagem por injeção é um dos mais importantes processos industriais para produção de produtos plásticos finos. Esse processo é dividido essencialmente em quatro estágios: plastificação, preenchimento, empacotamento e resfriamento. O escoamento de um fluido caracterizado por alta viscosidade em uma cavidade estreita é um problema tipicamente encontrado em processos de moldagem por injeção.Neste caso, o escoamento pode ser descrito por uma formulação conhecida como aproximação de Hele-Shaw. Tal formulação pode ser derivada das equações de conservação tridimensionais usando um número de suposições a respeito do polímero injetado e da geometria da cavidade do molde, juntamente com a integração e o acoplamento das equações da conservação da quantidade de movimento e da continuidade. Essa formulação, referindo às limitações da geometria do molde como sendo canais estreitos e quase sem curvatura, é comumente denominada formulação 2 1/2D. Neste trabalho, é apresentada uma técnica para a simulação da fase de preenchimento de um processo de moldagem por injeção, usando essa formulação 2 1/2D, com um método de volumes finitos e malhas não estruturadas. O modelo de Cross modificado com dependência da temperatura de Arrhenius é empregado para descrever a viscosidade do polímero fundido. O campo de distribuição de temperatura é tridimensional e é resolvido usando um esquema semi-Lagrangeano baseado em volumes finitos. As malhas não estruturadas utilizadas são geradas por triangulação de Delaunay e o método numérico implementado usa a estrutura de dados topológica SHE - Singular Handle Edge, que é capaz de lidar com condições de contorno e singularidades, aspectos comumente encontrados em simulações numéricas de escoamento de fluidos. / Injection molding is one of the most important industrial processes for the manufacturing of thin plastic products. This process can be divided into four stages: plastic melting, filling, packing and cooling phases. The flow of a fluid characterized by high viscosity in a narrow gap is a problem typically found in injection molding processes. In this case, the flow can be described by a formulation known as Hele-Shaw approach. Such formulation can be btained from the three-dimensional conservation equation using a number of assumptions regarding the injected polymer and the geometry of the mold, together with the integration and the coupling of the momentum and continuity equations. This approach, referring to limitations of the mould geometry to narrow, weakly curved channels, is usually called 2 1/2D approach. In this work a technique for the simulation of the filling stage of the injection molding process, using this 2 1/2D approach, with a finite volume method and unstructured meshes, is presented. The modified-Cross model with Arrhenius temperature dependence is employed to describe the viscosity of the melt. The temperature field is 3D and it is solved using a semi-Lagrangian scheme based on the finite volume method. The employed unstructured meshes are generated by Delaunay triangulation and the implemented numerical method uses the topological data structure SHE - Singular Handle Edge, capable to deal with boundary conditions and singularities, aspects commonly found in numerical simulation of fluid flow.

Instabilités de flammes de prémélange en cellule de Hele-Shaw / Premixed flames instability in Hele-Shaw cell

Al Sarraf, Elias 19 December 2017 (has links)
La combustion pré mélangée a été depuis longtemps un domaine vaste d’étude au niveau appliqué et fondamental. Bien que la plupart des applications industrielles en combustion aient lieu dans des régimes turbulents, le passage par l’étude laminaire est indispensable pour comprendre les mécanismes fondamentaux des flammes turbulentes. Ce travail de thèse porte essentiellement sur l’étude des différentes instabilités agissant sur un front de flamme laminaire de pré mélange pour des mélanges de propane-air et méthane-air, enrichis ou non en azote. L’étude consiste à mesurer les taux de croissance des perturbations dans un brûleur d’Hele-Shaw formé par deux plaques de verre ($150\times50cm$) très rapprochées (brûleur 2D). Grâce à un système de forçage constitué par des plaques modulées spatialement avec différentes longueurs d’onde, le taux de croissance peut être mesuré même en présence du développement spontané de l’instabilité avec la longueur d’onde la plus instable. A richesse constante et pour des valeurs croissantes de la dilution en oxygène le vecteur d'onde de coupure augmente avec la vitesse de flamme qui devient plus instable. Pour des mélanges de propane ce nombre d’onde augmente également lorsqu'on augmente la richesse à vitesse constante et il diminue dans le cas des mélanges de méthane, cela est en relation avec l'évolution des effets thermodiffusifs dans chacun des cas. Une augmentation de l’épaisseur de la cellule d’Hele-Shaw, aboutit à une augmentation du taux de croissance pour les petits nombres d’onde ainsi que du nombre de Markstein, et à une diminution du taux de croissance pour les grands nombres, du fait des effets des pertes thermiques. / Premixed combustion has been the subject of extensive work, concerning both applications and fundamental aspects. Although in most practical applications combustion occurs in a turbulent environment, the study of laminar flames is important to understand the fundamental mechanisms of turbulent flame propagation. The objective of this work is to study the various instabilities acting on a laminar premixed flame for mixtures of propane-air and methane-air, enriched or not with nitrogen. it consists in measuring the linear growth rates of disturbances in a Hele-Shaw burner formed by two glass plates ($150\times50cm$) separated by a thin gap width (2D burner). Using spatially modulated plates with different wavelengths, the linear growth rate of perturbations can be measured even in the presence of the most unstable wavelength. The experimental values of the linear growth rate as a function of wavenumber are fitted by a linear dispersion relation to estimate the Markstein number and the cutoff wavenumber. For a constant equivalence ratio with increasing values of the dilution in oxygen, the cutoff wavenumber grows with the flame velocity and it is becoming more unstable. The cutoff wave number rises also when the equivalence ratio increases for propane-air mixture and decreases for methane-air mixture, in relation to the evolution of thermal diffusive effects. An enlargement in the thickness of the Hele-Shaw cell results in an increase of the growth rate for small wavenumbers thus in the Markstein number, and in a decline in the growth rate for the large wavenumbers, in relation with the effects of heat losses.

Etude expérimentale de la digitation visqueuse de fluides miscibles en cellule de Hele-Shaw / Experimental study of viscous fingering of miscible fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell

Maes, RENAUD,POL 07 May 2010 (has links)
La digitation visqueuse est une instabilité hydrodynamique apparaissant lorsque, dans un milieu poreux, un fluide moins visqueux déplace un fluide plus visqueux. L'objectif de notre thèse est l'étude expérimentale des propriétés des motifs de digitation lorsque l'échantillon de fluide visqueux est de taille finie et lorsqu'une réaction chimique modifie la viscosité dans un milieu poreux modèle, en l'occurrence une cellule de Hele-Shaw. En particulier, notre étude a permis de quantifier la contribution de dispersion et de la digitation visqueuse, l'étalement dans l'espace d'échantillons de taille finie en fonction des paramètres expérimentaux (contraste de viscosité, vitesse de déplacement et taille de l'échantillon). Pour les fluides réactifs, nous analysons la digitation induite par une réaction A + B C dont le produit C est plus visqueux que les réactifs A et B, ceux-ci ayant la même viscosité. Nous mettons en évidence l'effet des concentrations en réactifs, du choix du fluide vecteur et du débit d'injection sur le motif de digitation. / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
