▼ The commercial CFD software STAR-CCM+ is applied as a RANS solver for comparison with
potential flow methods in the calculation of vertical plane radiation and diffraction problems. A two-dimensional rectangular cylinder oscillating in an unbounded fluid is first considered, and the added mass result shown to agree well with the analytical
potential flow solution. Hydrodynamic coefficients are then determined for the cylinder oscillating in heave and sway about a calm free surface. Predicted values are observed to coincide with available experimental and linear
potential flow results for most amplitudes and frequencies of oscillation examined. A three-dimensional radiation problem is then studied in which 1-DoF heave and pitch motions are prescribed to the ONR Tumblehome hullform in calm water at zero forward speed and Fn 0.3. Combinations of amplitude and frequency of oscillation ranging from small to large are considered. Results are compared with several
potential flow codes which utilize varying degrees of linearization. Differences in the force and moment results are attributed to particular code characteristics, and overall good agreement is demonstrated between RANS and
potential flow codes which employ a nonlinear formulation. The ONR Tumblehome is next held static in incident head waves of small and large steepness and zero forward speed or Fn 0.3. Force and moment time histories of the periodic response are compared with the same set of
potential flow codes used in the radiation problem. Agreement between
potential flow and RANS is reasonable in the small wave steepness case. For large wave steepness, the nonlinear wave response is seen to be important and the RANS solution does not generally agree well with
potential flow results.

▼ The variation of velocity and temperature distribution in arbitrary profile along the centerline in turbulent which encounters non-linearity regular progressive gravity wave and steady uniform
flow right in front are investigated analytically and verified by existing experiments. Firstly, the action of periodic waves and current are incorporated into the equation of motion as an external force and applied radiation stress for evaluating the velocity distribution over arbitrary lateral cross section. Based on the momentum exchange after the interaction between turbulent plane jet and oppositive non-linearity wave and uniform
flow, the physical characteristics of jet-wave and current are able to be determined theoretically.
Secondly, there are critical sections in both velocity and temperature transport processes when the turbulent plane jet influenced by wave and current motion. Fluctuating function will be close to infinity, is the order of wave sharpness; Average velocity for every wave period along the centerline approach to zero, Thatâs thanks to the momentum of plane jet is extruded by the momentum of wave and current, Beyond the critical section, characteristics of the jet is no longer existing, such phenomena mean that only the wave and current dominating. Velocity and temperature distribution in the zone of
flow developed are Gaussian curve, as has been measured in experiment. The momentum extrusion of counter
flow in jet is significant in the deep water and small wave; The velocity distribution coefficient is changing with the increasing of counter
flow velocity, owing to the entrainment effect, and the
potential core will reducing with the increasing of counter
flow velocity.

Impacts of black ash stand transpiration on the hydrology

pages, appendices A-C.
The possibility that the emerald ash borer
(Agrilus planipennis) will spread to
northern Minnesota and cause widespread mortality of black ash is
an issue of concern for land managers. Northern Minnesota contains
many wetland forests dominated by black ash (
Fraxinus nigra). Given the importance of
evapotranspiration of overstory tree species, such as black ash, to
the hydrologic budgets of forest systems, transpiration was
approximated at multiple ash forests of northern Minnesota. In
2012, sap flux rates were monitored at three stands of black ash
with differing moisture regimes within the Chippewa National
Forest, Minnesota, USA. Sap flux rates for black ash were within
the expected range of values. Black ash exhibited small sapwood
area across all of the trees monitored. When sap flux was converted
to sap flow and scaled from the sample trees to site level
estimates of transpiration, transpiration values were low due to
small sapwood area. Results were compared to soil moisture and
potential evapotranspiration data to determine the efficacy of the
methodology employed for estimating sap flux and to corroborate
transpiration results. In the summer of 2012, transpiration by
black ash only accounted for 16% to 21% of total potential
evapotranspiration. Despite the common flooded status of black ash
wetland forests, moisture regime and moisture limitation did impact
sap flux and transpiration in black ash stands as there was
variability in sap flux and sap flow among sites of varying
moisture regime. Potential evapotranspiration and vapor pressure
deficit were only important when moisture was not limited spatially
or temporally. Belowground impacts to sap flux from soil moisture
only became perceivable during periods of moisture limitation.
Sources of error associated with the transpiration determination
process were explored and while the results of this study indicate
trends in transpiration of black ash forests, the multiple stages
of transpiration determination contain error that needs to be
acknowledged when considering implications of transpiration
results. Black ash mortality caused by emerald ash borer could be
problematic in terms of hydrologic influence, impacts on vegetation
community structure and composition, and alterations to forest
management regimes; however, black ash contribution to total
evapotranspiration was less than expected and indicates that loss
of black ash may result in fewer alterations to hydrologic
processes than previously anticipated.

An investigation into the effects of submergence depth, speed and hull length-to-diameter ratio on the near surface operation of conventional submarines.

▼ The strategic requirement for naval submarines to operate in near surface and littoral
environments continues to increase as they are more frequently employed to support
joint force missions. The operational workload for helmsmen and the risk to mission
safety and success are significantly increased due to the interaction between the
submarine and the free-surface. This thesis reports on an experimental investigation
into the effects of submergence depth, speed of advance and length-to-diameter ratio
on the interaction between a streamlined axisymmetric body and the free-surface when
travelling in a near-surface condition.
A broad review of the existing literature indicates that little work has been published
to date on the effects of length-to-diameter on the near-surface performance of
streamlined axisymmetric bodies. Furthermore, there is little or no experimental data
available describing the vertical force and moment that act on a shallowly submerged
body moving beneath the free-surface. Nonetheless, there is evidence to confirm that
the requirement for submarine near-surface operation is significant and that a wellfounded
understanding of submarine near-surface performance is needed.
A model scale experimental program was conducted to measure and observe the
resistance, lift force, trimming moment and wave field generated by a series of
submerged bodies of revolution moving at constant forward speed. The Joubert
conventional submarine geometry was tested in its bare hull configuration in three
length-to-diameter ratio formats: 7.30, 8.50 and 9.50. The three geometries possess
the same maximum diameter. The models were tested at velocities that correspond to
a Froude number range of 0.10 to 0.50 inclusive and at centreline submergence depths
of between 1 and 3.5 hull diameters.
The results of the experiment indicate that the wave resistance, lift force and trimming
moment all vary periodically with speed and are directly influenced by the wavelength
of the free-surface wave field generated by the submerged body. The steady-state
wave field itself is a direct function of the submerged body’s length-to-diameter ratio
and speed of advance (Froude number). The magnitude of the forces and trimming
moment were found to diminish exponentially with an increase in submergence depth.
Considering the submergence depths and speeds experienced by naval submarines
when conducting near-surface operations, it is concluded that the effect of wave
resistance is a secondary issue and that the vertical lift force is of the greatest
operational significance. Based on the test results of the three Joubert hull geometries,
it was observed that for near-surface operation a larger length-to-diameter ratio is
preferable for achieving minimum resistance and vertical plane motion (lower relative
lift force and trimming moment).
An evaluation of the SHIPFLOW 4.7 potential flow software program was completed
using the experimentally measured data in conjunction with additional published
experimental and…

▼ Discovered in 2008,
iron pnictides are the latest high temperature
superconductors which have aroused enormous attention in
the scientific community. The discovery of iron based
superconductors (FBSs) marked the foundation of a new era
in the field of superconductivity by replacing the Copper
Age by the Iron Age. This discovery has given scientists
the chance to study the superconducting and magnetic
properties in a different family of high temperature
superconductors, as understanding the nature of
superconductivity in unconventional superconductor is
crucial for designing new materials with higher critical
temperature
<em>(Tc</em>). These
materials would be good candidates for use in electricity
generators, cheaper medical imaging scanners, and
extremely fast levitating trains because superconducting
materials with higher
<em>Tc</em> would not
require expensive coolants to reach the superconducting
transition temperature. Therefore, the discovery of FBSs
was a significant achievement in the condensed matter
community. The main focus and novelty
of this work is twofold: firstly, the pinning potential,
thermally activated flux flow behaviour and
superconducting properties of iron based superconductors,
mostly hole doped
BaFe2As2
pnictides and arsenic free
FeSe1-xTex
chalcogenides was investigated in details. Secondly, the
magnetic and transport properties of parent compound
BaFe2As2
and non superconducting
Ba(Fe1-xCrx)2As2
was studied using magnetic, magnetoresistance and neutron
diffraction measurements.
Understanding the vortex pinning mechanism in
FBSs is crucial for practical applications and
fundamental study due to the relatively high critical
temperature, high upper critical field
(<em>Bc2</em>), high
critical current density, very high intrinsic pinning
potential, and nearly isotropic superconductivity of
these compounds, and also due to the possibilities for
the fabrication of superconducting wire. In order to
understand the pinning mechanisms in these systems,
scaling analysis of the normalized pinning force as a
function of reduced field was performed. Analysis using
the Dew-Hughes model has suggested that point pins alone
cannot explain the observed field variation of the
pinning force density. According to the collective flux
pinning model, the field dependence of the magnetization
shows that the flux pinning in

▼ Mestrado Vinifera Euromaster - Instituto Superior de Agronomia - UL
The effect of deficit irrigation on berry composition, berry weight and yield was studied across 5 vineyards located in two regions exhibiting Mediterranean climate in California. The study used sap flow and pre-dawn leaf water potential (PDWP) to monitor the water status of the vines and trigger irrigation opportunities. Vineyard blocks were “split” and two irrigation regimens were imposed: traditional and experimental. Traditional treatment for each vineyard continued conventional methodologies used by growers at each site. Experimental sites used sap flow as the primary indication of irrigation timing while PDWP was used to confirm sap flow data. Fruit composition was monitored starting at veraison through to harvest, monitoring primary metabolites at all sites and secondary metabolites at participating sites. Variables monitored included: water applied, berry weight, tannin, total anthocyanins, yield, water deficit index, sugar concentration, pH and titratable acidity. Data from all sites was combined and correlations between all variables were determined. A regression analysis was also used to analyze the effects of the amount of water applied and water deficit index on yield components and berry composition. Simple data analysis shows the differences between water input in the traditional and experimental sites (30 – 100% water savings). Study outcomes were largely inconclusive and despite the strong correlations obtained between variables, they were often inconsistent with literature. Berry weight was found to have a moderately negative correlation with the amount of water applied and water deficit index. Tannin content was also found to have a negative relationship with the amount of water applied. Brix was found to be positively correlated with water applied and water deficit index. These inconsistent results may be due to factors such as different varieties, sites and management techniques being used across different producers. The absence of statistically robust results prevent us from drawing conclusions. Additional research is suggested to confirm this results in order to evaluate the viability of using the sap flow technique to manage deficit irrigation

▼ The present work is focused on the study of the upstream tower effect on wind turbine blade
flow through the employment of simplified methods. The state-of-the-art on aerodynamic loading predictive methods is presented and discussed through the comparison of their advantages and disadvantages, with emphasis on Engineering (or
Potential Flow) Methods, on which the present work is based. The quality of results attained by Engineering Methods is also discussed. A short chapter on dimensional analysis is included, as
the governing dimensional parameters are of major important in this context. The
potential flow theory is also presented, as its solutions are of the utmost importance to describe the
flow around the tower. Thereafter, the lift and drag coefficients are calculated with the use of the panel-method-based software XFOIL, which utilizes as boundary conditions the
potential flow solutions (later revised through Bak’s model). This model is implemented through a MATLAB interface and is validated through QBlade and secondary
literature. Finally, the tangential and normal force coefficients are calculated based on XFOIL’s outcomes and a critical discussion ensues, leading to the work’s conclusions and future research paths.

▼ When stationary streamwise vortices are introduced in a turbulent boundary layer, previous
flow visualization studies revealed that the
flow can be partially relaminarized. To study this phenomenon, and the wall pressure signature of the vortices for detecting unstable departures from equilibrium in active
flow control systems, it is important to understand the behavior of vortices near the wall, as well as their locally-induced velocity and pressure gradients. A relatively simple
potential flow field with multiple point vortices is calculated, using the method of images, where for each vortex, a virtual vortex of equal strength and distance from the wall, but with opposite rotation, was introduced in the domain. The induced velocity and coefficient of pressure on the wall are sinusoidal are dependent on the vortex position and the array configuration; i.e., the span of the vortices (i.e., the distance between the vortex cores) and the height of the vortices from the wall. The effects of center-pair vortex perturbation in different directions on the induced velocity and pressure coefficient on the wall was also investigated.

▼ The possibility that the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) will spread to northern Minnesota and cause widespread mortality of black ash is an issue of concern for land managers. Northern Minnesota contains many wetland forests dominated by black ash ( Fraxinus nigra). Given the importance of evapotranspiration of overstory tree species, such as black ash, to the hydrologic budgets of forest systems, transpiration was approximated at multiple ash forests of northern Minnesota. In 2012, sap flux rates were monitored at three stands of black ash with differing moisture regimes within the Chippewa National Forest, Minnesota, USA. Sap flux rates for black ash were within the expected range of values. Black ash exhibited small sapwood area across all of the trees monitored. When sap flux was converted to sap flow and scaled from the sample trees to site level estimates of transpiration, transpiration values were low due to small sapwood area. Results were compared to soil moisture and potential evapotranspiration data to determine the efficacy of the methodology employed for estimating sap flux and to corroborate transpiration results. In the summer of 2012, transpiration by black ash only accounted for 16% to 21% of total potential evapotranspiration. Despite the common flooded status of black ash wetland forests, moisture regime and moisture limitation did impact sap flux and transpiration in black ash stands as there was variability in sap flux and sap flow among sites of varying moisture regime. Potential evapotranspiration and vapor pressure deficit were only important when moisture was not limited spatially or temporally. Belowground impacts to sap flux from soil moisture only became perceivable during periods of moisture limitation. Sources of error associated with the transpiration determination process were explored and while the results of this study indicate trends in transpiration of black ash forests, the multiple stages of transpiration determination contain error that needs to be acknowledged when considering implications of transpiration results. Black ash mortality caused by emerald ash borer could be problematic in terms of hydrologic influence, impacts on vegetation community structure and composition, and alterations to forest management regimes; however, black ash contribution to total evapotranspiration was less than expected and indicates that loss of black ash may result in fewer alterations to hydrologic processes than previously anticipated.

▼ This thesis work started as an attempt to create a computational tool to model hydrodynamics problems involving lifting flows. The method employed to solve the problem is
potential flow theory.
Despite the fast evolution of computers and the latest developments in Navier-Stokes solvers, such as the Ranse methods;
potential flow theory offers the possibility to create or use existing computational tools, which allow us modeling hydrodynamics problems in a simpler manner. Navier-Stokes solver can be very expensive from the computational point of view, and require a high level of expertise in order to achieve reliable models.
Based on the above, we have developed a lifting
flow modeling tool that we hope can serve as the starting point of a more elaborated method, and a valuable alternative, for the solution of different hydrodynamics problems.
Key words highlighting important concepts related to this thesis work are: Vortex, circulation,
potential flow, panel methods, Sources, doublets.

▼ Although ships have been used for thousands of years, modeling the dynamics of marine craft has historically been restricted by the complex nature of the hydrodynamics. The principal challenge is that the vehicle motion is coupled to the ambient fluid motion, effectively requiring one to solve an infinite dimensional set of equations to predict the hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on a marine vehicle. Additional challenges arise in parametric modeling, where one approximates the fluid behavior using reduced-order ordinary differential equations. Parametric models are typically required for model-based state estimation and feedback control design, while also supporting other applications including vehicle design and submarine operator training.
In this dissertation, Lagrangian mechanics is used to derive nonlinear, parametric motion models for marine craft operating in the presence of a free surface. In Lagrangian mechanics, one constructs the equations of motion for a dynamic system using a system Lagrangian, a scalar energy-like function canonically defined as the system kinetic energy minus the system
potential energies. The Lagrangian functions are identified under ideal
flow assumptions and are used to derive two sets of equations. The first set of equations neglects hydrodynamic forces due to exogenous fluid motions and may be interpreted as a nonlinear calm water maneuvering model. The second set of equations incorporates effects due to exogenous fluid motion, and may be interpreted as a nonlinear, unified maneuvering and seakeeping model. Having identified the state- and time-dependent model parameters, one may use these models to rapidly simulate surface-affected marine craft maneuvers, enabling model-based control design and state estimation algorithms.

▼ Floating offshore wind turbines can only withstand a limited amount of (heave) motions before the equipment fails. In order to reduce the heave motion, the DeepCwind floater for offshore floating wind turbines makes use of heave plates. This semi-submersible floater consists of three cylindrical columns with a heave plate attached to the bottom of each column.
Potential flow models are often used in order to assess the response. However,
potential flow theory does not take into account the viscosity and the vorticity of the fluid. Therefore, this thesis examines the effect of a heave plate on a cylindrical column's response in heave direction and subjected to wave loads with both a
potential flow model and a fully nonlinear numerical wave tank. Specifically, the difference between a
potential flow model and a fully nonlinear numerical wave tank is examined. The simulations with the fully nonlinear numerical wave tank have been carried out using the open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package OpenFOAM (version 1606+). An unresolved direct numerical simulation (DNS) approach is used throughout this work. Best practices for the dimensions of the wave tank, the mesh and settings of the solver where obtained from Bruinsma (2016) and Rivera-Arreba (2017). The OpenFOAM waves2Foam toolbox (developed by Jacobsen et al. (2012)) has been used to generate waves in the wave tank. The two phase solver interDyMFoam for moving bodies was coupled to the waveFoam solver from the waves2Foam toolbox in order to simulate a moving body under wave loads. The simulations in OpenFoam were carried out on a 1:50 scale. The
potential flow model WAMIT has been used in order to obtain the response amplitude operator (RAO), added mass, damping and wave excitation forces from
potential flow theory. A single cylindrical column has been tested in the numerical wave tank both with and without heave plate. Firstly, a heave decay test has been carried out. As a result, the linear damping ratio and the linear and quadratic damping coefficients have been determined. Secondly, the structure was exposed to incoming waves. The response of the structure has been assessed under three different wave periods, which were selected in order to align with Rivera-Arebba (2017). The response of the structure was measured, filtered on the frequency of the incoming wave and compared with the RAO from the
potential flow model. Also, the wave excitation forces of the
potential flow model have been compared with wave loads from the numerical wave tank, based on simulations where heave motion of the structure was constrained. It was found that both the wave excitation forces and the RAO of the
potential flow model are in agreement with the CFD model results. The viscous effects included in the CFD model affect the response of the structure only very lightly. The largest differences between the
potential flow and CFD model were found around the heave cancellation wave frequency. At the heave natural period of the structure,…

▼ A funcionalidade de um sistema aqüífero é dependente dos atributos do reservatório, em especial as suas heterogeneidades, associadas às propriedades intrínsecas da rocha e descontinuidades relacionadas à compartimentação estrutural. O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal identificar e mapear a organização espacial dos componentes estratigráficos e compartimentos estruturais do Sistema Aqüífero Guarani, localizado na bacia do Paraná, a fim de verificar os efeitos na sua distribuição na organização e funci- onalidade. Foram observadas as variações na salinidade, as zonas de recarga e de des- carga, visando contribuir para os estudos que estabelecem prioridades de uso, mapea- mento, monitoramento e redução das atividades potencialmente contaminantes. A extensa seção siliciclástica do aqüífero foi formada por sistemas deposicionais eólicos e fluviais, de idade triássica e jurássica, englobados principalmente pelas forma- ções Pirambóia e Botucatu (Brasil), Misiones (Paraguai e Argentina) e Taquarembó (Uruguai). Levantamentos de seções estratigráficas ao longo da faixa de afloramentos e análise e interpretação de perfis geofísicos de poços para petróleo na bacia permitiram compor um novo quadro estratigráfico para o sistema aqüífero. A compartimentação estrutural do aqüífero foi definida a partir da integração de mapas morfoestruturais previamente publicados, traçados por interpretação de imagens de radar, satelitárias, modelos digitais de elevação e mapas regionais aeromagnetométri- cos e gravimétricos. Um novo mapa de lineamentos estruturais, interpretado a partir de um modelo digital de terreno, teve a precisão avaliada por comparação com mapas pré- vios gerados por diferentes autores e métodos. A sucessão sedimentar que compõe o aqüífero é objeto de diferentes correlações e classificações estratigráficas, com implicações na organização das unidades hidroestrati- gráficas. Caracteriza-se por associações de fácies cujos elementos arquiteturais e geo- metria permitem subdividí-lo em unidades de fluxo. Três unidades de fluxo principais foram reconhecidas, identificadas e denominadas conforme a fácies genética: duna (DU), interdunas (ID) e canais (CH). Secundariamente, duas outras unidades: crevasse (CR), lacustre e planície de inundação (FF) ambém foram identificadas. Estas unidades apresentam diferentes condutividade hidráulica e desempenham, conseqüentemente, papéis diferentes no funcionamento do aqüífero. Para as unidades de fluxo foi possível estimar a condutividade hidráulica média com base na seleção e tamanho médio dos grãos e na argilosidade dos sedimentos. Em termos de litoestratigrafia, o SAG é composto pelas formações Santa Maria, de ocorrência restrita ao Rio Grande do Sul, espacialmente sotoposta e justaposta às forma- ções flúvio-eólicas Guará (No oeste do Rio Grande do sul) e Pirambóia (leste do Rio Grande do Sul, e toda a parte central e norte da Bacia do Paraná). Todas estão extensa- mente superpostas, ora discordantemente, ora transicionalmente, pela Formação Botu- catu, caracterizada por…

▼ Microfluidic devices using electroosmotic flows (EOFs) in microchannels have been developed and widely applied in chemistry, biology and medicine. Advantages of using these devices include the reduction of reagent consumption and duration for analysis. Moreover the velocity profile of EOFs, in contrast to the parabolic profile found in pressure-driven flows, has a plug-like profile which contributes significantly less to solute dispersion. It also requires no valve to control the flow, which is done with the appropriate application of electrical potentials, thus becomes one of the favourite techniques for sample separation. However, high potentials of several hundred volts are usually required to generate sufficient EOF. These high potentials are not practical for general usage and could cause electrical hazard in some applications. One of the possible solutions is the introduction of zeta potential modulation. The EOF in a microchannel can be controlled by the zeta potential at the liquid/solid interface upon the application of external gate potentials across the channel walls. Combined with AC EOF, it can rectify the oscillating flows and generate pressure that can be used for microfluidic pumping applications. Since the flow induced by the alternating electric field is unsteady and periodic, it is critical to visualize the flow with high spatial and temporal resolutions in order to understand fluid dynamics. A novel method to obtain high temporal resolution for high frequency periodic electrokinetic flows using phase sampling technique in micro particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements are first developed in order to characterize the AC electroosmotic flow. After that, the principle of zeta potential modulation is demonstrated to transport particles, cells, and other micro organisms using rectified AC EOF in open microchannels. The rectified flow is obtained by synchronous zeta-potential modulation with the driving potential in the microchannel. Subsequently, we found that PDMS might not be the best material for some pumping and biomedical applications as its hydrophobic surface property makes the priming process more difficult in small microchannels and also causes significant protein adsorption from biological samples. A more hydrophilic and biocompatible material, polyurethane (PU), was chosen to replace PDMS. A polyurethane-based soft-lithography microfabrication including its bonding, interconnect integration and in-situ surface modification was developed providing better biocompatibility and pumping performance. Finally, an electroosmotic pumping device driven by zeta potential modulation and fabricated by PU soft lithography was presented. The problem of channel priming is solved by the capillary force induced by the hydrophilic surface. Its flow rate and pressure output were found to be controllable through several parameters such as driving potential, gate potential, applied frequency, and phase lag between the driving and gate potentials.

▼ A higher-order, lifting-surface method is presented that uses elements with distributed vorticity. As a consequence, the newly developed method is highly accurate in force prediction and numerically extremely robust, even when using a relaxed wake model. The accurate prediction is accomplished using lower panel densities than other methods require. The numerical robustness is achieved without compromising the irrotationality assumption, unlike other
potential flow methods do that use discrete vortices with solid core models in the wake.
The distributed vorticity element of the newly developed method consists of a vortex sheet that holds streamwise vorticity that varies linearly over the element span. Transverse vorticity is concentrated in two vortex filaments that are located along the leading and trailing edge of the element. Their spanwise circulation distributions vary in a parabolic fashion. The circulation of the leading and trailing edge filaments are equal in magnitude, but opposite in orientations. By introducing additional singularities along the edges of the distributed vorticity elements, any extreme velocities associated with the edge singularities of the vortex sheets are removed. The velocity induced by a distributed vorticity element is determined with an analytical expression.
One or several spanwise systems of distributed vorticity elements are used to model the lifting surface and the wake that is relaxed using a time-stepping method. There, the shed vorticity forms an essentially continuous vortex sheet. Thus, because of the elimination of point or line singularities, many of the numerical problems are avoided that are encountered with conventional vortex-lattice and panel methods. In addition, the continuous vorticity distribution across the lifting surface yields an accurate load prediction that is relatively insensitive to panel density changes on the lifting surface and in the wake. Consequently, significantly fewer singularity elements are needed to achieve accuracies comparable to other
potential flow methods.
The subsequent method is a relatively fast tool for determining the location of the free wake and its interaction with complex wing geometries, especially when accurate load predictions are required. The
potential of the method is demonstrated with two sample applications. Especially in the case of the formation flight of two aircraft, the relaxed wake model yields performance results that differ to those that are obtained with a fixed wake model.

▼ Une modélisation efficace et une connaissance précise du comportement mécanique du cœur du réacteur sont nécessaires pour estimer les effets de l'excitation sismique sur une centrale nucléaire. La présence d'un écoulement d'eau (dans les REP) engendre des phénomènes d'interaction fluide structure. La modélisation des interactions fluide structure sur les assemblages combustible revêt donc une importance fondamentale pour la sécurité des réacteurs nucléaires. L’objectif principal du projet de thèse présenté dans ce document est d’étudier les interactions fluide structure afin de mieux comprendre les phénomènes impliqués. La modélisation et l'approche expérimentale sont considérées. Un nouveau modèle linéaire simplifié pour les interactions fluide structure est développé en utilisant la théorie de l'écoulement potentiel pour la modélisation des forces fluide, tandis que le modèle de poutre d'Euler-Bernoulli est utilisé pour la partie structurelle. Le modèle est d'abord développé pour un seul cylindre et il est validé avec des ouvrages de référence dans la littérature. Les effets de la taille de confinement et du nombre d'onde sont examinés. Le modèle d'écoulement potentiel développé pour un seul cylindre est ainsi étendu à une géométrie multicylindre. La démarche expérimentale est donc nécessaire pour valider le modèle développé. Une nouvelle installation expérimentale, ICARE, a été conçue pour étudier les phénomènes d’interaction fluide structure sur des assemblages combustible à demi-échelle. Dans ce document, les résultats fournis par les mesures de déplacement et de LDV sont largement analysés. Le comportement dynamique de l'assemblage combustible et les effets de couplage sont étudiés. Les calculs sont comparés aux résultats expérimentaux afin de valider le modèle et d’en analyser ses limites. Le modèle est en accord avec les résultats expérimentaux concernant l'effet de masse ajouté. De plus, le modèle prédit qualitativement les effets des couplages dans différentes directions. Par contre, le modèle d'écoulement potentiel ne permet pas de prédire des effets d'amortissement ajouté, principalement dus aux forces visqueuses. Enfin, dans ce document, une autre application du modèle développé est décrite. Le modèle est utilisé afin de simuler des expériences réalisées sur une maquette d'assemblage combustible dans l'installation expérimentale installée à l'Université George Washington (GWU). Le modèle est capable de prédire et de fournir une interprétation valide de la perturbation du débit d'eau due au mouvement de l'ensemble excité. La thèse se termine par des perspectives d'amélioration du modèle, en intégrant des termes visqueux dans les équations. L'analyse des données de vélocimétrie par image de particules (PIV) recueillies au cours des campagnes expérimentales ICARE doit être poursuivie.

▼ Implantation of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) continues to be associated with risk of thromboembolic complications despite anti-coagulation therapy. Mechanical heart valves have been the gold standard in valve heart replacement since the 1950s with BMHVs currently still being the valve of choice for younger patients. Given that a large body of literature points to thromboembolic complications due to poor hemodynamics, improvements to the hemodynamic performance of BMHVs are needed. In this study, we explore the concept of passive
flow controls that have been widely used in aerospace industry as a novel approach towards improving BMHV design. Passive
flow control elements are small features on solid surfaces, such as vortex generators (VGs), that alter
flow to achieve desired performance. The specific aims of this study are (1) develop a methodology to evaluate thromboembolic
potential (TEP) of BMHVs using in-vitro particle image velocimetry technique, (2) quantify the efficacy of rectangular VGs distributed on BMHV leaflets to reduce TEP, and (3) quantify the hemodynamic performance impact of rectangular VGs. An in-vitro pulsatile
flow loop along with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
flow visualization technique was developed, validated, and utilized to acquire time-resolved velocity fields and shear stress loading: Lagrangian particle tracking analysis of the upstream and downstream
flow during diastole and systole enabled the calculation of predicted shear stress history and exposure times corresponding to platelets. This information was then used in numerical models of blood damage to predict the TEP of test heart valves using established platelet activation and platelet lysis parameters. BMHV leaflets were constructed using 3D printing technology with VGs based on micro-CT scans of a model BMHV leaflet. Two configurations were constructed: co-rotating VGs and counter-rotating VGs. Co-rotating VGs consist of single features 1mm tall and 2.8mm long spaced equally apart (5mm) at an angle of attack of 23 degrees. Counter-rotating VGs consist of mirrored feature pairs 1mm from each other with the same dimensions as the co-rotating VGs. The leaflets were tested using the methodology described above to elucidate their effect on the TEP of the BMHV compared to the control leaflets. For systolic
flow downstream of the valve, we report a decrease in the average platelet activation and average platelet lysis TEP (both normalized by the average exposure time) largely in the central jet, with the vortex generator equipped leaflets compared to the control leaflets at a p-value of 0.05. However, for diastolic
flow upstream of the valve, we report an increase in the average platelet lysis TEP and average platelet activation TEP (both normalized by the average exposure time) largely in the regurgitant jet zone with the vortex generator equipped leaflets compared to the control leaflets at a p-value of 0.05. Also, steady and pulsatile
flow experiments were conducted to calculate the transvalvular pressure drop…

▼ Wave Energy Converter (WEC) technologies are under development internationally. WECs are of value to society as alternatives to geological hydrocarbons, with depleting reserves and concerns of the implications of anthropogenic climate change. The development of WECs will at some point require devices to be placed in groups or arrays; such arrangements induce hydrodynamic effects which have the potential to materially affect energy capture. These hydrodynamic array effects need to be understood to maximise return on investment. However, simulation of large arrays, both experimentally and numerically, can be prohibitively expensive. This work explores the use of reflections to simulate WEC array effects as an approach to reducing the cost of array investigations; this is done numerically with linear potential ow and experimentally in the Australian Maritime College's towing tank. The experimental investigation includes the use of novel experimental techniques including stereo-videogrammetry and the implementation of a real-time control system for modelling a WEC Power Take Off (PTO).
The results show it is possible to explore WEC array interactions with the use of wall reflections. This approach can reduce the overall cost of experimental array investigations, thereby allowing further studies to be completed and ultimately reducing the cost of commercial WEC arrays. Through this exploration it has been shown that phase is just as important as amplitude for understanding WEC array interactions. As amplitude describes the potential interaction effect, but without an understanding of phase it is not possible to know if the interactions are constructive, destructive or neutral.
Adjunct to this, the stereo-videogrammetry approach employed is shown to be able to measure an area of approximately 12 m(2) with a 3 mm horizontal discretisation and sub-millimetre accuracy on the vertical measurement. This novel measurement approach has the potential to be useful to investigations ranging from validation of theoretical wave models through to assessment of wave-structure interactions in commercial development. While the approach, at present, is expensive to implement, it has capabilities which conventional wave probes cannot match. For example the large spatial area considered and velocity measurements.
In the numerical study, the linearized investigations of diffraction and heave radiation showed very good correlation with experimental results, with respect to both loads and free surface deformation. For the relaxed condition where a PTO system was employed it is shown that the linearized assumption allowed for accurate prediction of power capture, however did not allow for accurate prediction of the resulting wave climate. This suggests that for different array arrangements that more complicated modelling may be required.
Through the numerical modelling it was evident that wave shoaling must be taking place. This implicitly means that the results are incomplete, as shoaling requires that there must be additional…

▼ Evidence based performance of novel ventilation systems in existing low energy buildings is invaluable as it provides data on the system operation in a real dynamic environment. This thesis presents the outcomes from research involving a number of experimental field studies of a single sided ventilation system installed in a single cell office space as part of a building retrofit pilot project in Cork, Ireland. The solution consists of a purpose provided, multi configuration opening, comprising a narrow slotted architectural louvre component split across a low level manual opening section and a high level automated opening section. A review of published research found that little experimental data exists on the performance of such systems and air flow rate correlations developed for plain openings are currently used by designers to make predictions about their performance. Three experimental campaigns were designed and carried out. First, in order to quantify performance of the system, long term and short term monitoring of the internal thermal and air flow environment at the experimental building was completed. Second, ventilation rate measurements in existing and retrofit spaces were completed using a tracer gas concentration decay technique. Thirdly, air flow through the single sided slot louvre opening was investigated. In addition, the annual cooling potential of the multi-configuration system was investigated computationally. Results show there was a significant difference between both thermal environments with the retrofit space consistently displaying lower air temperatures over the cooling season and throughout all Air Change Rate measurement periods. Lower levels of vertical thermal stratification and diurnal temperature variation were also observed. On average, across a wide range of boundary conditions, lower ventilation rates were observed for the slotted louvre system with a narrower spread of values when compared with the existing building. The dominant driving force was either buoyancy or wind depending on the opening configuration adopted in the slotted louvre system. The slot louvre was found to be wind dominant for lower opening heights when compared with a plain opening of the same dimensions. Existing single sided correlations were found to perform better when predicting airflow rates through a plain opening when compared with the slot louvre system and a new dimensionless exchange rate parameter is proposed for predicting wind driven airflow through the slot louvre. Simulations indicate that 80% of annual occupied hours required an enhanced ventilative cooling airflow rate to achieve internal thermal comfort. Using a combination of configurations the system was able to provide the required cooling airflow rate for 93% of the occupied hours.

▼ Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit numerischen Methoden für das Lösen der Gross-Pitaevskii Gleichung (GPG). Die GPG beschreibt die zeitliche Entwicklung von Bose-Einstein Kondensaten.
Im Rahmen dessen werden zwei numerische Methoden eingeführt, die Time Splitting Spectral Methode (TSSM) und die Backward Euler Finite Difference (BEFD) Methode, mit Hilfe derer sowohl Grundzustands- als auch Zeitevolutionsrechnungen durchgeführt werden. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der numerischen Analyse eines Box-Potentials. Insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Wahl der räumlichen Auflösung werden verschiedene Parameter eines Box-Potentials untersucht.
Außerdem wird eine Methode entwickelt, um die Zeitschritte während der Grundzustandsrechnung zu verkleinern: mit dem Ziel, mit wenig Iterationen besonders genaue Grundzustände zu erreichen. Die Grundidee basiert auf der Halbierung des Zeitschritts, sobald sich die Lösung über einen gewissen Zeitraum nicht mehr signifikant ändert.
Am Schluss werden Rechenergebnisse präsentiert, die durch eine MATLAB Implementierung erzeugt und auf einer GPU parallelisiert werden. Dabei werden die numerischen Methoden TSSM und BEFD in einer Dimension auf ihre Ordnungen in Zeit und Raum analysiert. Schließlich werden Anwendungsergebnisse in zwei und drei Dimensionen präsentiert.
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a partial differential equation with many applications in quantum physics, nonlinear optics, etc. In this thesis, selected numerical methods to deal with dynamical as well as ground state computations of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are presented with a special focus on the cubic NLSE, also known as the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE), a standard model for Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs). For such GPEs, we investigate numerical performance and accuracy of a Time Splitting Spectral Method (TSSM) and a Backward Euler Finite Difference (BEFD) Method.
We introduce the physics including the scaling of BECs and present some dynamical properties of GPEs. Then, the mathematical theory of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem, which models stationary states of BECs, is briefly discussed. Furthermore, we examine numerical aspects of finding ground state solutions. In particular, a normalized gradient flow method is provided to obtain ground state solutions by propagating an imaginary time. Once the theory of numerical methods is investigated, an adaptive temporal step size adjustment is established to guarantee a fast and accurate convergence of ground state solutions.
A special focus lies on the investigation of different confining potentials and their influence on numerical accuracy. Due to discontinuities arising from box potentials with sharp edges a special numerical treatment is required. A detailed analysis of box potentials and their defining parameters with respect to the required spatial resolution is proposed. We examine the influence of the layer size, the height and the nonlinearity constant on time propagation as well as ground state solutions.
Finally, we…

▼ Au cours de cette thèse, un modèle potentiel résolvant les équations d’Euler-Zakharov a été développé dans le but de simuler la propagation de vagues et d’états de mer irréguliers et multi-directionnels, du large jusqu’à la côte, sur des bathymétries variables. L’objectif est de représenter les effets non-linéaires et dispersifs le plus précisément possible pour des domainescôtiers bidimensionnels (dans le plan horizontal) de l’ordre de quelques kilomètres.La version 1DH initiale du modèle, résolvant le problème aux limites de Laplace à l’aide de schémas aux différences finies d’ordre élevé dans la direction horizontale combinés à une approche spectrale sur la verticale, a été améliorée et validée. L’implémentation de conditions aux limites de type Dirichlet et Neumann pour générer des vagues dans le domaine a été étudiée en détail. Dans la pratique, une zone de relaxation a été utilisée en complément deces conditions pour améliorer la stabilité du modèle.L’expression analytique de la relation de dispersion a été établie dans le cas d’un fond plat. Son analyse a montré que la représentation des effets dispersifs s’améliorait significativement avec l’augmentation de la résolution sur la direction verticale (i.e. avec le degré maximal de la basede polynômes de Tchebyshev utilisée pour projeter le potentiel des vitesses sur la verticale).Une étude de convergence menée pour des ondes solitaires modérément à fortement non-linéaires a confirmé la convergence exponentielle avec la résolution verticale grâce à l’approche spectrale, ainsi que les convergences algébriques en temps et en espace sur l’horizontale avec des ordres d’environ 4 (ou plus) en accord avec les schémas numériques utilisés.La comparaison des résultats du modèle à plusieurs jeux de données expérimentales a démontré les capacités du modèle à représenter les effets non-linéaires induits par les variations de bathymétrie, notamment les transferts d’énergie entre les composantes harmoniques, ainsi que la représentation précise des propriétés dispersives. Une formulation visco-potentielle a également été implémentée afin de prendre en compte les effets visqueux induits par la dissipation interne et le frottement sur le fond. Cette formulation a été validée dans le cas d’une faible viscosité avec un fond plat ou présentant une faible pente.Dans le but de représenter des champs de vagues 2DH, le modèle a été étendu en utilisant une discrétisation non-structurée (par nuage de points) du plan horizontal. Les dérivées horizontales ont été estimées à l’aide de la méthode RBF-FD (Radial Basis Function-Finite Difference), en conservant l’approche spectrale sur la verticale. Une étude numérique de sensibilité a été menée afin d’évaluer la robustesse de la méthode RBF-FD, en comparant différents types de RBFs, avec ou sans paramètre de forme et l’ajout éventuel d’un polynôme. La version 2DH du modèle a été utilisée pour simuler deux expériences en bassin, validant ainsi l’approche choisie et démontrant son applicabilité pour simuler la propagation 3D des vagues faisant…

▼ Este trabalho propõe uma metodologia para simular o transporte de poluentes leves sob a ação de campos de ventos em ambientes complexos. O método consiste na divisão da clássica equação de difusão advectiva em duas componentes, uma laminar e outra turbulenta. A primeira representa o campo de ventos, determinado a partir de poucas amostras devidamente coletadas na fronteira do ambiente. A estimativa dos campos de ventos resulta da interpolação destas amostras, para a determinação das condições de contorno do ambiente de simulação, e da solução da equação da continuidade para escoamentos potenciais. A segunda componente, que representa a parte turbulenta do escoamento, consiste em uma grade de valores nãohomogêneos para os coeficientes de difusão sobre o ambiente, determinada a partir de um modelo típico da difusão turbulenta, com base na fenomenologia da mecânica dos fluidos. Esta metodologia evita a necessidade da resolução das equações de Navier-Stokes, e permite maior eficiência na simulação. O método proposto, além de barato computacionalmente, fornece boa precisão na estimativa do escoamento de poluentes em ambientes complexos. São exemplo das possíveis aplicações da metodologia: (a) no planejamento de escoamento populacional em casos de acidentes envolvendo escapamento de poluentes; (b) no planejamento urbano, permitindo uma melhor distribuição de áreas residenciais e industriais; ou (c) na previsão e controle de riscos ambientais devido a escapamentos danosos ao meio ambiente
This work proposes a method for simulating the transport of pollutant, driven by wind fields in complex environments. The method consists in dividing the advective-difusion equation into two components, laminar and turbulent. The former represents the wind fields, obtained from a few samples properly collected at the environment boundary. The wind field estimation comes from the interpolation of those samples, for determining the boundary conditions of the simulation environment, and from numerical solution of the continuity equation for potential flows. The second component, representing the turbulent part of the flow, consists of a non-homogeneous scalar field of difusion coefcients defined in the ambient, in accordance with a typical model for the turbulent difusion, based on the fluid mechanics phenomenology. The proposed methodology avoids the need of solving the Navier-Stokes equations and gives the simulation more performance. The model, besides being computationally cheap, gives good precision on the estimation of pollutant transport in complex environments. Possible applications of the method are:(a) on the planning of crowd evacuation in accidents involving pollutants escaping; (b) on the urban planning, permitting a better distribution of residential and industrial areas; or (c) on the prevention and management of ambiental risks due to escaping harmful for the environment

▼ Swirling motions induced by a counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP) provides a mechanism to entrain fluid from the periphery of this structure and mix surrounding fluids with those within the vortex structure. Eventually, the vortices act upon each other transporting molecularly mixed fluid into the core
flow. This mechanism has
potential to increase efficiency with more complete mixing. Therefore, a mixer is proposed which directly induces counter rotating vortices by a three dimensional geometry. The proposed swirl mixer is designed to induce counter rotating vortices based on the
potential flow theory, Milne-Thomson's Circle Theorem and Rankine vortex. Twelve test models are developed during the optimization process. Design factors were examined using a seven-hole pressure probe to investigate velocity vector fields produced by the test models, thereby obtaining an optimum CVP mixer that maximized tangential velocity with uniform axial
flow. The optimized design was fabricated from Inconnel 718 using the Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology.

▼ For highly non-planar lifting systems like the box wing, induced drag predictions based on common potential-flow methods can have limited accuracy. This is primarily related to the linear, fixed-wake surrogate models, which neglect the correlation of the effective height-to-span ratio and system angle of attack or insufficiently account for free-wake deformations such as deflection and roll-up effects. Dependent on the vertical and horizontal wing arrangement of simplified box wing and biplane configurations and the system angle of attack, the present research analyses the unknown impact of wake model effects, investigates the accuracy of potential-flow induced drag predictions against an Euler-flow reference and explores the influence of higher-order wake effects. The computational expense of considered methodologies is assessed to evaluate their applicability within an aerodynamic design and optimization methodology for highly non-planar lifting systems. Under certain conditions, higher-order wake and wake surrogate effects are confirmed to impact on the induced drag prediction. The body-fixed wake model is found generally inappropriate for induced drag estimation of present lifting systems, whereas the freestream-fixed wake model provides consistent results. Positive-staggered systems at positive angels of attack are found particularly prone to higher-order wake effects, due to the vertical contraction of wake trajectories, which leads to smaller effective height-to-span ratios than compared with negative stagger and thus closer interactions between trailing wakes and lifting surfaces. A relaxed, force-free wake model is found compulsory to enable fast but accurate induced drag predictions when using potential-flow methods for the analysis of highly non-planar lifting systems with significant positive stagger.

▼ A source-based boundary element method (BEM) built on the
potential flow theory is developed to study hydrodynamic characteristics of multi-surface planing hulls. Initially, both 2D and 3D numerical models are implemented and validated. Upon validation, the numerical model is applied for three specific hull types to predict their hydrodynamic properties. Firstly, the hydrodynamic performance of a stepped hull with variable deadrise angles is investigated. Secondly, the hydrodynamic inference effect on a symmetric catamaran hull is studied. And lastly, the hydrodynamic parameters are analyzed for the asymmetric catamaran setup.
The validation results are presented for the lift coefficient, center of pressure, water surface elevation around the hull, and pressure coefficient. Numerical results are compared with those found in the technical literature. Parametric calculations are carried out for a stepped hull with variable deadrise angles in two-speed regimes and the results are shown for hydrodynamic characteristics of the hull. For the catamaran design, the hydrodynamic interaction between hulls planing parallel to each other is known to become significant when the spacing between hulls is sufficiently small. To investigate this interference effect, calculations are carried out for symmetric hulls in variable speed regimes at different spacings, hull aspect ratio, and deadrise angles. Again, for asymmetric planing hulls, the numerical results are validated with available experimental data and empirical correlations. Parametric calculation results are presented for the lift coefficient and the center of pressure for variable hull geometry, spacings, and speed regimes.
It was observed that the wetted surfaces of both fore hull and aft body of the stepped hull have a direct impact on hydrodynamic forces. The downstream shape of the air-ventilated cavity changes drastically for variable aft body compared to the variable fore hull. For the catamaran hull, the interaction effect on the lift is stronger for longer hulls and larger deadrise angles at both moderate and high Froude numbers. The smaller spacings between two demi-hulls yield higher impact on different hydrodynamic parameters. Similarly, for asymmetric catamaran configuration, the lift coefficient is found to increase at smaller hull spacings. However, it decreases at higher Froude numbers and higher deadrise angles.

▼ The need for the identification and appropriate development of talent in organisations has led to a renewed interest in the accuracy of tools used in this context. The objectives of the study were to: (1) determine whether there is a significant difference in the growth in theoretical capability as predicted by Career Path Appreciation (CPA) 1 and CPA 2 among the sample population, (2) determine whether there is a significant difference in Mode as predicted by CPA 1 and CPA 2 among the sample population, and (3) formulate recommendations for Talent Management and Industrial and Organisational Psychology practices and future research.
The CPA is a tool used for the selection and development of talent nationally and internationally. Limited recent test-retest research has been done regarding the utilisation of the CPA in this context. Scholars in the field of industrial psychology could therefore benefit from follow-up research regarding the validity and reliability of the CPA. The research design is an ex post facto correlational design using longitudinal data of a sample of convenience (N=527).
Overall, the results indicated a significant correlation between CLC for CPA 1 and CPA 2 as well as between Mode for CPA 1 and CPA 2. The CPA as a measure of theoretical capability is consistently accurate between measures and can be used with confidence for the identification and development of talent within organisations.
