In view of standardizing the school curriculum of the State of São Paulo, the Cadernos do Professor, and the correlated Cadernos do Aluno [Student‟s Brochure], were prepared to each subject in the school curriculum, to each grade in the elementary school of cycle II and in high school, and, to each of the four school bimesters. This research was restricted to the examination of the Caderno do Professor de Matemática [Mathematics Teacher‟s Brochure], in particular regarding to the study of the calculation of volumes of solids, also known historically to stereometry. Was examined if, in the Cadernos, there is a conceptual approach of the calculation of volumes, that is, if the section dedicated to this topic is based on an approach that favors the investigation of the fundaments of the concepts studied. The research had the purpose of evaluating whether and to which extent the Cadernos do Professor de Matemática, at the approach to stereometry, take into consideration the specificity of the subject, consistent mainly in its abstract character, in a way to provide the teacher conditions to overcome the difficulties raised by such specificities to the learning process. The theoretical framework that guided the research mainly consists of the mathematical theory of learning developed by Raymond Duval, and texts aimed at teacher training related to the research topic. According to Duval, the difficulties in learning arising out of the abstract character of mathematics may be overcome by means of procedures enabling the processes of visualization and manipulation of the mathematical concepts and objects. Among such procedures we have the historic presentation of the matters discussed, and the consideration with the daily concerns of the students. It was estimated that procedures such as these are capable of triggering the curiosity of the student for the subject, therefore, with the purpose of making the learning process less difficult and more pleasant. The analysis indicated that the material can allow a conceptual approach to the calculation of volumes of geometric solids. Also identified were aspects of the material that could be improved. Therefore, suggestions were made for complementary activities / A presente pesquisa dedicou-se à análise de parte dos materiais didáticos denominados Caderno do Professor e Caderno do Aluno , distribuídos em 2008 e 2009 pela Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo aos professores e alunos de ensino médio das escolas públicas do Estado. Com vistas a uniformizar o currículo escolar do estado de São Paulo, os Cadernos foram elaborados para cada uma das disciplinas do currículo escolar, para cada série de ensino fundamental do ciclo II e do ensino médio, para cada um dos quatro bimestres letivos. Tal pesquisa restringiu-se ao exame da parte dos Cadernos de Matemática consagrada ao estudo do cálculo de volumes de sólidos, também denominado historicamente de estereometria. Foi examinado se nos Cadernos há uma abordagem conceitual do cálculo de volumes, isto é, se o trecho dedicado a esse tópico se pauta por uma abordagem que privilegia a investigação dos fundamentos dos conceitos estudados. A pesquisa visou avaliar se e em que medida os Cadernos do Professor e do Aluno de Matemática, na abordagem da estereometria, contemplam a especificidade da disciplina, consistente precipuamente no seu caráter abstrato, de sorte a proporcionar ao professor as condições de superação das dificuldades que aquelas especificidades acarretam para o processo de aprendizado. O referencial teórico que norteou a investigação consiste principalmente da teoria sobre aprendizagem de matemática desenvolvida por Raymond Duval, bem como textos direcionados à formação de professores relacionados ao tema da pesquisa. De acordo com Duval, as dificuldades de aprendizado decorrentes do caráter abstrato da matemática podem ser contornadas a partir de procedimentos que viabilizem os processos de visualização e de manipulação dos conceitos e objetos matemáticos. Dentre esses procedimentos contam-se a apresentação histórica dos assuntos abordados, e em consonância com as preocupações cotidianas dos estudantes. Estimou-se aqui que procedimentos como esses são aptos a despertar a curiosidade do estudante pelo assunto, tendo por isso o condão de tornar o aprendizado um processo menos árduo e mais agradável. As análises indicaram que o material pode possibilitar uma abordagem conceitual do cálculo de volumes de sólidos geométricos. Também foram identificados aspectos do material que poderiam ser melhorados. Sendo assim, foram feitas sugestões de atividades complementares

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este trabalho apresenta um estudo teórico e numérico sobre os erros que ocorrem nos cálculos de gradientes em malhas não estruturadas constituídas pelo diagrama de Voronoi, malhas estas, formadas também pela triangulação de Delaunay. As malhas adotadas, no trabalho, foram as malhas cartesianas e as malhas triangulares, esta última é gerada pela divisão de um quadrado em dois ou quatro triângulos iguais. Para tal análise, adotamos a escolha de três metodologias distintas para o cálculo dos gradientes: método de Green Gauss, método do Mínimo Resíduo Quadrático e método da Média do Gradiente Projetado Corrigido. O texto se baseia em dois enfoques principais: mostrar que as equações de erros dadas pelos gradientes podem ser semelhantes, porém com sinais opostos, para pontos de cálculos em volumes vizinhos e que a ordem do erro das equações analíticas pode ser melhorada em malhas uniformes quando comparada as não uniformes, nos casos unidimensionais, e quando analisada na face de tais volumes vizinhos nos casos bidimensionais. / This work presents a theoretical and numerical study on the errors that occur in the calculation of gradients on unstructured meshes Voronoi type, these meshes, also formed by Delaunay triangulation. The meshes adopted in the work were cartesian and triangular meshes, the latter is formed by dividing a square in two or four equal triangles. For this analysis, we adopt the choice of three different methodologies for the calculation of gradients: Green Gauss method, weighted least-squares method and mean value of the projected gradients method. The text is based on two main approaches: to show that the equations of errors given by the gradients may be similar, but with opposite signs, for calculation point in opposite volumes. And show that the order of the error of the analytical equations can be improved in uniform mesh when compared to not uniform, the one-dimensional case, and when viewed from the opposite face of such volumes for the two-dimensional case.

O fenômeno de injeção de vapor em tanques de alívio é de relevância no projeto de reatores de água leve, sejam eles do tipo reator de água pressurizada (PWR) ou reator de água fervente (BWR). Este fenômeno permite a rápida absorção do vapor injetado em massa de água, por meio de sua condensação, uma vez que este vapor pode conter contaminantes químicos ou radiológicos que não permitem o seu descarte diretamente no ambiente. Desta forma, facilita-se a coleta do vapor produzido por descarga de vapor da água do resfriamento do reator, radiologicamente contaminada, e evita-se o que projeto de dispositivos e equipamentos necessite considerar a elevada pressão do vapor. A rapidez com que se dá a condensação é fruto de processos físicos que ocorrem na interface de vapor e água e que ainda não possuem modelo analítico e numérico definido. Em 1972 um modelo semi-empírico foi proposto, o qual, desde então, vem evoluindo. Não obstante, até o presente momento, não há modelo definitivo que se proponha a abranger toda extensão das condições experimentais. Estes modelos são fortemente dependentes do fluxo de massa que atravessa a interface de vapor e água, entretanto, até a presente data, não há expressão que determine este fluxo de massa, de tal forma que o valor de 275 Kg/m2/s vem sendo assumido como \"representativo da ordem de grandeza do fenômeno\" até o presente momento. Neste trabalho, é proposto um método de cálculo analítico do fluxo de massa, considerando-se como premissa a isentropia da injeção, e o desenvolvimento da 1ª e 2ª leis da Termodinâmica. Ainda, o fenômeno é analisado experimentalmente, por meio da análise dos dados produzidos no experimento do Circuito Termo Hidráulico de 150 bar (Loop 150), realizado nas dependências do CENTRO TECNOLÓGICO DA MARINHA EM SÃO PAULO. Por fim, um modelo numérico em software comercial foi desenvolvido para complementar a análise. Os resultados obtidos comprovam que a formulação isentrópica do fluxo de massa corrige de maneira satisfatória o fluxo de massa constante utilizado até então nos modelos semi-empíricos. Tal comprovação se deu através de análise numérica e da confrontação com dados experimentais obtidos na literatura. / The phenomenon of vapor injection in relief tanks presents relevance in the design of light water reactors, be they of the type pressurized water reactor (PWR) or boiling water reactor (BWR). This phenomenon allows the rapid absorption of the vapor injected in a mass of water, by condensation. Since this vapor may contain chemical or radiological contaminants that do not allow its discharge directly in the environment, it must be collected. The condensation avoids the design of devices and equipment, which need to consider the high vapor pressure, and allows the vapor to be collected. The rapidity with which the condensation occurs is the result of physical processes that occur at the interface of steam and water. These processes do not yet have a defined numerical and analytical model. In 1972 a semi-empirical model was proposed, which has, since then, evolved. Nevertheless, up to the present moment, there is no definitive model that intends to cover every extension of the experimental conditions. These models are strongly dependent on the mass flow through the steam and water interface, however, up to date, there is no expression that determines this mass flow. For the sake of this, the value of 275 kg / m2 / s has been assumed as \"representative of the order of magnitude of the phenomenon\" up to the present moment. In this work, a method of analytical calculation of mass flow is proposed, considering as premise the isotropy of the injection, and the development of the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. Still, the phenomenon is analyzed experimentally, by means of the analysis of the data produced in the experiment of Loop 150, realized in dependencies of the CENTRO TECNOLÓGICO DA MARINHA EM SÃO PAULO. Finally, a numerical model in commercial software was developed to complement the analysis. The result is proven with an isentropic mass flow formulation, which satisfactorily corrected the mass used in the former semi-empirical models. Such verification was performed through a series of data and confrontation with experimental data in the literature.

Ce sujet concerne un travail pluridisciplinaire mathématique et astrophysique. Le but de cette thèse est l'étude des modèles d'hydrodynamique radiative dont l'application est bien évidemment très vaste en physique et astrophysique. Les modèles M1-multigroupes sont explorés pour décrire le transfert radiatif sans faire à priori d'hypothèse sur la profondeur optique du milieu. L'intérêt qui découle directement de ce travail est le développement du code d'hydrodynamique radiative HADES 2D permettant le calcul massivement parallèle. Il autorise des simulations dans des configurations astrophysiques réalistes en termes de nombre de Mach et de contraste de densité et de température entre les différents milieux. Nous nous sommes concentrés sur deux applications intéressantes : les jets d'étoiles jeunes et les chocs radiatifs dont les premières simulations seront présentées. / This topic is a multidisciplinary work between mathematics and astrophysics. The aim of this thesis is the study of radiation hydrodynamic models of which application is obviously very broad in physics and astrophysics. M1-multigroup models are explored to describe the radiative transfer without a priori assumption on the optical depth of the medium. The interest ensuing directly from this work is the development of a radiation hydrodynamic code, namely HADES 2D, for massively parallel computing. It allows simulations in realistic astrophysical configurations in terms of Mach number, density and temperature contrasts between different environments. We focused on two interesting applications: the jets from young stars and the radiative shocks of which first simulations will be presented.

Dans cette thèse on s’intéresse à la simulation numérique d’écoulements des matériaux compressibles, voir fluides et solides élastiques. Les matériaux considérés sont décrits avec un modèle monolithique eulérian, fermé avec une loi d’état hyperélastique qui considère les différents comportements des matériaux. On propose un nouveau schéma de relaxation qui résout les écoulements compressibles dans des différents régimes, avec des nombres de Mach très petits jusqu’à l’ordre 1. Le schéma a une formulation générale qui est la même pour tous le matériaux considérés, parce que il ne dépend pas directement de la loi d’état. Il se base sur une discrétisation complétement implicite, facile à implémenter grâce à la linéarité de l’opérateur de transport du système de relaxation. La discrétisation en espace est donnée par la combinaison de flux upwind et centrés, pour retrouver la correcte viscosité numérique dans les différents régimes. L’utilisation de mailles cartésiennes pour les cas 2D s’adapte bien à une parallélisation massive, qui permet de réduire drastiquement le temps de calcul. De plus, le schéma a été adapté pour la résolution sur des mailles quadtree, pour implémenter l’adaptativité de la maille avec des critères entropiques. La dernière partie de la thèse concerne la simulation numérique d’écoulements multi-matériaux. On a proposé une nouvelle méthode d’interface “sharp”, en dérivant les conditions d’équilibre en implicite. L’objectif est la résolution d’interfaces physiques dans des régimes faiblement compressibles et avec un nombre de Mach faible, donc les conditions multi-matériaux sont couplées au schéma implicite de relaxation. / In this thesis we are concerned with the numerical simulation of compressible materials flows, including gases, liquids and elastic solids. These materials are described by a monolithic Eulerian model of conservation laws, closed by an hyperelastic state law that includes the different behaviours of the considered materials. A novel implicit relaxation scheme to solve compressible flows at all speeds is proposed, with Mach numbers ranging from very small to the order of unity. The scheme is general and has the same formulation for all the considered materials, since a direct dependence on the state law is avoided via the relaxation. It is based on a fully implicit time discretization, easily implemented thanks to the linearity of the transport operator in the relaxation system. The spatial discretization is obtained by a combination of upwind and centered schemes in order to recover the correct numerical viscosity in different Mach regimes. The scheme is validated with one and two dimensional simulations of fluid flows and of deformations of compressible solids. We exploit the domain discretization through Cartesian grids, allowing for massively parallel computations (HPC) that drastically reduce the computational times on 2D test cases. Moreover, the scheme is adapted to the resolution on adaptive grids based on quadtrees, implementing adaptive mesh refinement techinques. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the numerical simulation of heterogeneous multi-material flows. A novel sharp interface method is proposed, with the derivation of implicit equilibrium conditions. The aim of the implicit framework is the solution of weakly compressible and low Mach flows, thus the proposed multi-material conditions are coupled with the implicit relaxation scheme that is solved in the bulk of the flow.

Les transferts de chaleur par convection forcée turbulente dans une conduite plane partiellement remplie par un milieu poreux sont étudiés numériquement. L'étude concerne l'analyse de l'encrassement dans un canal plan représentatif d'un échangeur de chaleur à plaques. Un fluide, ayant un fort pouvoir encrassant, est considéré en régime turbulent. L'objectif de cette étude est de proposer une technique qui repose sur l'utilisation de matériaux fibreux comme capteur de particules pouvant réduire les méfaits de l'encrassement. Cela consiste à essayer de réduire la résistance d'encrassement en agissant sur les propriétés thermiques du dépôt. L'étude de la cinétique de l'encrassement permet de déterminer la loi de variation de l'épaisseur du dépôt au cours du temps. Cette équation est couplée aux équations de conservation. Un modèle de conductivité thermique effective (fluide, dépôt, fibres poreuses) a été choisi et le phénomène de colmatage de la matrice poreuse est considéré. L'apport du milieu poreux sur les performances de l'échangeur est analysé

Um modelo matemático bidimensional transiente em coordenadas esferoidais prolatas foi desenvolvido para predizer a transferência de calor e massa e simular a distribuição do teor de umidade e da temperatura no interior do sólido, considerando condição de contorno convectiva na superfície, termo de geração de calor por onda eletromagnética e ao longo do processo, propriedades termo físicas e volume constantes. O método dos volumes finitos foi utilizado para a solução numérica das equações governantes, usando uma malha regular. Para validação da metodologia teórica foram realizados experimentos de secagem por micro-ondas com grãos de arroz em casca in natura (variedade BRSMG Conai) para três níveis de potências absorvidas: 0,192; 0,491 e 0,694 W. Resultados do efeito da razão de aspecto do sólido, números de Biot de transferência de massa e de calor, densidade de potência e fator de atenuação da onda eletromagnética sobre a cinética de secagem e aquecimento, e distribuições de temperatura e teor de umidade no interior do sólido são apresentados e analisados. A comparação entre os dados teóricos e experimentais do teor de umidade e da temperatura dos grãos de arroz em casca resultou num bom ajuste e possibilitou a estimativa dos coeficientes de difusão de massa e de transferência de massa e calor convectivos. Verificou-se que, o aumento na potência absorvida proporcionou menor tempo de secagem e maior temperatura superficial do grão de arroz, e que os coeficientes de transporte de calor e de massa preditos tendem a aumentar com o aumento da potência aplicada. / This work aims to study theoretical and experimentally the combined drying (convective and microwave) of prolate spheroidal solids. A transient two-dimensional mathematical model in prolate spheroidal coordinates it was developed to predict the heat and mass transfer and simulate the moisture content and temperature distributions inside the solid considering convective boundary condition at the surface, microwave heat generation term, thermo physical properties and volume constants. The finite volume method was used for the numerical solution of the governing equations, using a regular grid. To validate the theoretical methodology microwave drying experiments were carried out with rice grains in fresh bark (variety BRSMG Conai) in three levels of absorbed power: 0.192; 0.491 and 0.694 W. Results of the effect of the solid aspect ratio, Biot numbers of mass and heat transfer, power density and attenuation factor of the electromagnetic wave on the drying and heating kinetics, and temperature and moisture content distributions within the solid are presented and analyzed. The comparison between theoretical and experimental data of moisture content and temperature of the rice grain resulted in a good fit and estimative at the mass diffusion coefficient and convective heat and mass transfer coefficients. It was found that the increase in absorbed power provided shorter drying time and higher surface temperature of the rice grain , and that the predicted heat and mass transport coefficients tend to increase with increased power applied.

Les discrétisations adaptatives sont importantes dans les problèmes de fluxcompressible/incompressible puisqu'il est souvent nécessaire de résoudre desdétails sur plusieurs niveaux, en permettant de modéliser de grandes régionsd'espace en utilisant un nombre réduit de degrés de liberté (et en réduisant letemps de calcul).Il existe une grande variété de méthodes de discrétisation adaptative, maisles grilles cartésiennes sont les plus efficaces, grâce à leurs stencilsnumériques simples et précis et à leurs performances parallèles supérieures.Et telles performance et simplicité sont généralement obtenues en appliquant unschéma de différences finies pour la résolution des problèmes, mais cetteapproche de discrétisation ne présente pas, au contraire, un chemin faciled'adaptation.Dans un schéma de volumes finis, en revanche, nous pouvons incorporer différentstypes de maillages, plus appropriées aux raffinements adaptatifs, en augmentantla complexité sur les stencils et en obtenant une plus grande flexibilité.L'opérateur de Laplace est un élément essentiel des équations de Navier-Stokes,un modèle qui gouverne les écoulements de fluides, mais il se produit égalementdans des équations différentielles qui décrivent de nombreux autres phénomènesphysiques, tels que les potentiels électriques et gravitationnels. Il s'agitdonc d'un opérateur différentiel très important, et toutes les études qui ontété effectuées sur celui-ci, prouvent sa pertinence.Dans ce travail seront présentés des approches de différences finies et devolumes finis 2D pour résoudre l'opérateur laplacien, en appliquant des patchsde grilles superposées où un niveau plus fin est nécessaire, en laissant desmaillages plus grossiers dans le reste du domaine de calcul.Ces grilles superposées auront des formes quadrilatérales génériques.Plus précisément, les sujets abordés seront les suivants:1) introduction à la méthode des différences finies, méthode des volumes finis,partitionnement des domaines, approximation de la solution;2) récapitulatif des différents types de maillages pour représenter de façondiscrète la géométrie impliquée dans un problème, avec un focussur la structure de données octree, présentant PABLO et PABLitO. Le premier estune bibliothèque externe utilisée pour gérer la création de chaque grille,l'équilibrage de charge et les communications internes, tandis que la secondeest l'API Python de cette bibliothèque, écrite ad hoc pour le projet en cours;3) la présentation de l'algorithme utilisé pour communiquer les données entreles maillages (en ignorant chacune l'existence de l'autre) en utilisant lesintercommunicateurs MPI et la clarification de l'approche monolithique appliquéeà la construction finale de la matrice pour résoudre le système, en tenantcompte des blocs diagonaux, de restriction et de prolongement;4) la présentation de certains résultats; conclusions, références.Il est important de souligner que tout est fait sous Python comme framework deprogrammation, en utilisant Cython pour l'écriture de PABLitO, MPI4Py pour lescommunications entre grilles, PETSc4py pour les parties assemblage et résolutiondu système d'inconnues, NumPy pour les objets à mémoire continue.Le choix de ce langage de programmation a été fait car Python, facile àapprendre et à comprendre, est aujourd'hui un concurrent significatif pourl'informatique numérique et l'écosystème HPC, grâce à son style épuré, sespackages, ses compilateurs et pourquoi pas ses versions optimisées pour desarchitectures spécifiques. / Adaptive discretizations are important in compressible/incompressible flow problems since it is often necessary to resolve details on multiple levels,allowing large regions of space to be modeled using a reduced number of degrees of freedom (reducing the computational time).There are a wide variety of methods for adaptively discretizing space, but Cartesian grids have often outperformed them even at high resolutions due totheir simple and accurate numerical stencils and their superior parallel performances.Such performance and simplicity are in general obtained applying afinite-difference scheme for the resolution of the problems involved, but this discretization approach does not present, by contrast, an easy adapting path.In a finite-volume scheme, instead, we can incorporate different types of grids,more suitable for adaptive refinements, increasing the complexity on thestencils and getting a greater flexibility.The Laplace operator is an essential building block of the Navier-Stokes equations, a model that governs fluid flows, but it occurs also in differential equations that describe many other physical phenomena, such as electric and gravitational potentials, and quantum mechanics. So, it is a very importantdifferential operator, and all the studies carried out on it, prove itsrelevance.In this work will be presented 2D finite-difference and finite-volume approaches to solve the Laplacian operator, applying patches of overlapping grids where amore fined level is needed, leaving coarser meshes in the rest of the computational domain.These overlapping grids will have generic quadrilateral shapes.Specifically, the topics covered will be:1) introduction to the finite difference method, finite volume method, domainpartitioning, solution approximation;2) overview of different types of meshes to represent in a discrete way thegeometry involved in a problem, with a focuson the octree data structure, presenting PABLO and PABLitO. The first one is anexternal library used to manage each single grid’s creation, load balancing and internal communications, while the second one is the Python API ofthat library written ad hoc for the current project;3) presentation of the algorithm used to communicate data between meshes (beingall of them unaware of each other’s existence) using MPI inter-communicators and clarification of the monolithic approach applied building the finalmatrix for the system to solve, taking into account diagonal, restriction and prolongation blocks;4) presentation of some results; conclusions, references.It is important to underline that everything is done under Python as programmingframework, using Cython for the writing of PABLitO, MPI4Py for the communications between grids, PETSc4py for the assembling and resolution partsof the system of unknowns, NumPy for contiguous memory buffer objects.The choice of this programming language has been made because Python, easy to learn and understand, is today a significant contender for the numerical computing and HPC ecosystem, thanks to its clean style, its packages, its compilers and, why not, its specific architecture optimized versions.

Cette thèse aborde la résolution des problèmes d'interaction fluide-structure par un algorithme consistant en un couplage entre deux solveurs : un pour le fluide et un pour la structure. Pour assurer la cohérence entre les maillages fluide et structure, on considère également une discrétisation de chaque domaine par volumes finis. En raison des difficultés de décomposition du domaine en sous-domaines, nous considérons pour chaque environnement un algorithme parallèle de multi-splitting (ou multi-décomposition) qui correspond à une présentation unifiée des méthodes de sous-domaines avec ou sans recouvrement. Cette méthode combine plusieurs applications de points fixes contractantes et nous montrons que, sous des hypothèses appropriées, chaque application de points fixes est contractante dans des espaces de dimensions finies normés par des normes hilbertiennes et non-hilbertiennes. De plus, nous montrons qu'une telle étude est valable pour les résolutions parallèles synchrones et plus généralement asynchrones de grands systèmes linéaires apparaissant lors de la discrétisation des problèmes d'interaction fluide-structure et peut être étendue au cas où le déplacement de la structure est soumis à des contraintes. Par ailleurs, nous pouvons également considérer l’analyse de la convergence de ces méthodes de multi-splitting parallèles asynchrones par des techniques d’ordre partiel, lié au principe du maximum discret, aussi bien dans le cadre linéaire que dans celui obtenu lorsque les déplacements de la structure sont soumis à des contraintes. Nous réalisons des simulations parallèles pour divers cas test fluide-structure sur différents clusters, en considérant des communications bloquantes et non bloquantes. Dans ce dernier cas nous avons eu à résoudre une difficulté d'implémentation dans la mesure où une erreur irrécupérable survenait lors de l'exécution ; cette difficulté a été levée par introduction d’une méthode assurant la terminaison de toutes les communications non bloquantes avant la mise à jour du maillage. Les performances des simulations parallèles sont présentées et analysées. Enfin, nous appliquons la méthodologie présentée précédemment à divers contextes d'interaction fluide-structure de type industriel sur des maillages non structurés, ce qui constitue une difficulté supplémentaire. / This thesis deals with the solution of fluid-structure interaction problems by an algorithm consisting in the coupling between two solvers: one for the fluid and one for the structure. In order to ensure the consistency between fluid and structure meshes, we also consider a discretization of each domain by finite volumes. Due to the difficulties of decomposing the domain into sub-domains, we consider a parallel multi-splitting algorithm for each environment which represents a unified presentation of sub-domain methods with or without overlapping. This method combines several contracting fixed point mappings and we show that, under appropriate assumptions, each fixed point mapping is contracting in finite dimensional spaces normalized by Hilbertian and non-Hilbertian norms. In addition, we show that such a study is valid for synchronous parallel solutions and more generally asynchronous of large linear systems arising from the discretization of fluidstructure interaction problems and can be extended to cases where the displacement of the structure is subject to constraints. Moreover, we can also consider the analysis of the convergence of these asynchronous parallel multi-splitting methods by partial ordering techniques, linked to the discrete maximum principle, both in the linear frame and in the one obtained when the structure's displacements are subjected to constraints. We carry out parallel simulations for various fluidstructure test cases on different clusters considering blocking and non-blocking communications. In the latter case, we had to solve an implementation problem due to the fact that an unrecoverable error occurred during execution; this issue has been overcome by introducing a method to ensure the termination of all non-blocking communications prior to the mesh update. Performances of parallel simulations are presented ans analyzed. Finally, we apply the methodology presented above to various fluid-structure interaction cases on unstructured meshes, which represents an additional difficulty.

Dessa forma, métodos de conservação devem ser aplicados para prolongar sua vida útil e conservar características de aceitação pelo consumidor. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a transferência de calor durante os processos de resfriamento e congelamento de banana utilizando geometria esferoidal prolata. Para a modelagem matemática, utilizou-se a equação da conservação de energia escrita em coordenadas esferoidais prolatas. A solução numérica da equação governante foi realizada através do método dos volumes finitos com uma formulação totalmente implícita. Um programa computacional foi escrito para simular o processo, através de linguagem computacional do software Mathematica, afim de se obter o histórico de temperatura no centro da banana e o perfil de temperatura, sendo os dados comparados a valores experimentais de congelamento de banana prata com casca, visando obter o coeficiente de transferência de calor convectivo e condutividade térmica da banana. Avaliou-se a influência das dimensões da fruta na cinética de resfriamento e nas frentes de congelamento. Concluiu-se que para a curva de resfriamento da banana, a modelagem pôde prever com bastante exatidão o período de resfriamento mas não o de pós-congelamento. Verificou-se que quanto menor o tamanho do produto, mais rápido é o processo e quanto maior a razão de aspecto de forma, maiores serão os gradientes de temperatura na ponta do produto. As taxas de resfriamento sofreram maior influência quando variou-se as dimensões mantendo um aspecto de forma constante do que variando as dimensões e mudando também o aspecto de forma. Por fim, verificou-se que quanto maior o aspecto de forma, mais não uniforme se dá o processo de transferência de calor na banana. / Fruits are a type of food that are typically made by 80% to 90% water, making them extremely perishable. Thus, conservation methods should be applied to prolong their shelf life and consumer acceptance characteristics. This work aims to study the heat transfer during the cooling and freezing processes of fruits with a prolate spheroid shape. The mathematical modeling consisted of energy conservation equation written in spheroidal prolates coordinates. The numerical solution of the governing equation was performed using the finite volume method with a fully implicit formulation. The process was simulated by computer-based language within the Mathematica software, to obtain the temperature history at the center of the fruit and the temperature profile, the data being compared with experimental values of freezed banana prata, to obtain the transfer coefficient convective-heat and thermal conductivity of the fruit. We evaluated the influence of fruit dimensions of the cooling kinetics and the freezing fronts. It was found that the lower the product size, the faster the process, and the higher the aspect ratio of shape, higher will be the temperature gradient at the top of the product.
