▼ [pt] Esta tese propõe um método meshfree adaptativo de
advecção para problemas de fluxo bifásico de fluidos
incompressíveis e imiscíveis em meios porosos heterogêneos
tridimensionais. Este método se baseia principalmente na combinação
do método Semi-Lagrangeano adaptativo com interpolação local
meshfree usando splines poliharmônicas como funções de base radial.
O método proposto é uma melhoria e uma extensão do método
adaptativo meshfree AMMoC proposto por Iske e Kaser (2005) para
modelagem 2D de reservatórios de petróleo. Inicialmente este
trabalho propõe um modelo em duas dimensões, contribuindo com uma
melhoria significativa no cálculo do Laplaciano, utilizando os
métodos meshfree de Hermite e Kansa. Depois, o método é ampliado
para três dimensões (3D) e para um meio poroso heterogêneo. O
método proposto é testado com o problema de five spot e os
resultados são comparados com os obtidos por sistemas bem
conhecidos na indústria de petróleo.
[en] This thesis proposes an adaptive meshfree
advection method for two-phase flow problems of incompressible and
immiscible fluids through three-dimensional heterogeneous porous
media. This method is based mainly on a combination of adaptive
semi-Lagrangian method with local meshfree interpolation using
polyharmonic splines as radial basis functions. The proposed method
is an improvement and extension of the adaptive meshfree advection
scheme AMMoC proposed by Iske and Kaser (2005) for 2D oil reservoir
modeling. Initially this work proposes a model in two dimensions,
contributing to a significant improvement in the calculation of the
Laplacian, using the meshfree methods of Hermite and Kansa. Then,
the method is extended to three dimensions (3D) and a heterogeneous
porous medium. The proposed method is tested with the five spot
problem and the results are compared with those obtained by
well-known systems in the oil industry.

▼ This thesis considers one-dimensional moving mesh (MM) methods coupled with semi-Lagrangian (SL) discretisations of partial differential equations (PDEs) for meteorological applications. We analyse a semi-Lagrangian numerical solution to the viscous Burgers’ equation when using linear interpolation. This gives expressions for the phase and shape errors of travelling wave solutions which decay slowly with increasing spatial and temporal resolution. These results are verified numerically and demonstrate qualitative agreement for high order interpolants. The semi-Lagrangian discretisation is coupled with a 1D moving mesh, resulting in a moving mesh semi-Lagrangian (MMSL) method. This is compared against two moving mesh Eulerian methods, a two-step remeshing approach, solved with the theta-method, and a coupled moving mesh PDE approach, which is solved using the MATLAB solver ODE45. At each time step of the SL method, the mesh is updated using a curvature based monitor function in order to reduce the interpolation error, and hence numerical viscosity. This MMSL method exhibits good stability properties, and captures the shape and speed of the travelling wave well. A meteorologically based 1D vertical column model is described with its SL solution procedure. Some potential benefits of adaptivity are demonstrated, with static meshes adapted to initial conditions. A moisture species is introduced into the model, although the effects are limited.

▼ We study stockpiling problems under uncertain
economic and physical factors, and investigate the valuation and
optimisation of storage systems where the availability and spot
price of the underlying are both
subject to stochasticity.
Following a Real Options valuation approach, we first study financial
derivatives linked to Asian options. A comprehensive set of
boundary conditions is compiled, and an alternative (and novel)
similarity reduction for fixed-strike Asian options is derived.
Hybrid
semi-
Lagrangian methods for numerically solving the related
partial differential equations (PDEs) are implemented, and we assess
the accuracy of the valuations thus obtained with respect to
results from classical finite-difference valuation methods and with
respect to high precision calculations for valuing Asian options
with spectral expansion theory techniques. Next we derive a PDE
model for valuing the storage of electricity from a wind farm, with
an attached back-up battery, that operates by trading electricity
in a volatile market in order to meet a contracted fixed rate of
energy generation; this system comprises two diffusive-type
(stochastic) variables, namely the energy production and the
electricity spot price, and two time-like (deterministic)
variables, specifically the battery state and time itself. An
efficient and novel
semi-
Lagrangian alternating-direction implicit
(SLADI) methodology for numerically solving advection-diffusion
problems is developed: here a
semi-
Lagrangian approach for
hyperbolic problems of advection is combined with an
alternating-direction implicit method for parabolic problems
involving diffusion. Efficiency is obtained by solving (just)
tridiagonal systems of equations at every time step. The results
are compared to more standard
semi-
Lagrangian Crank-Nicolson (SLCN)
and
semi-
Lagrangian fully implicit (SLFI) methods. Once he have
established our PDE model for a storage-upgraded wind farm, a
system that depends heavily on the highly stochastic nature of wind
and the volatile market where electricity is sold, we derive a
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for optimally controlling
charging and discharging rates of the battery in time, and we
assess a series of operation regimes. The solution of the related
PDE models is approached numerically using our SLADI methodology to
efficiently treat this mixed advection and diffusion problem in four
dimensions. Extensive numerical experimentation confirms our SLADI
methodology to be robust and yields highly accurate solutions and
efficient computations, we also explore effects from correlation
between stochastic electricity generation and random prices of
electricity as well as effects from a seasonal electricity spot
price. Ultimately, the objective of approximating optimal storage
policies for a system under uncertain economic and physical factors
is accomplished. Finally we examine the steady-state solution of a
stochastic storage problem under uncertain electricity market
prices and fixed demand. We use a HJB formulation for optimally
controlling charging and…

Investigation of Higher-Order Accuracy for a Conservative Semi-Lagrangian Discretization of the Atmospheric Dynamical Equations.

▼ This study considers higher-order spatial and temporal methods for a conservative
semi-implicit
semi-
Lagrangian (SISL) discretization of the atmospheric dynamical equations. With regard to spatial accuracy, new subgrid approximations are tested in the Conservative Cascade Scheme (CCS) SL transport algorithm. When developed, the CCS used the monotonic Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPM) to reconstruct cell variation. This study adapts four new non-polynomial methods to the CCS context: the Piecewise Hyperbolic Method (PHM), Piecewise Double Hyperbolic Method (PDHM), Piecewise Double Logarighmic Method (PDLM), and Piecewise Rational Method (PRM) for comparison against PPM. Additionally, an adaptive hybrid approximation scheme, PPM-Hybrid (PPM-H), is constructed using monotonic PPM for smooth data and local extrema and using PHM for steep jumps where PPM typically suffers large accuracy degradation.
Smooth and non-smooth data profiles are transported in 1-D, 2-D Cartesian, and 2-D spherical frameworks under uniform advection, solid body rotation, and deformational flow. Accuracy is compared in the L
1 error measure. PHM performed up to five times better than PPM for smooth functions but up to two times worse for non-smooth functions. PRM performed very similarly to PPM for non-smooth functions but the order of convergence was worse than PPM for smooth data. PDHM performed the worst of all of the non-polynomial methods for almost every test case. PPM-H outperformed both PPM and all of the new methods for all test cases in all geometries offering a robust advantage in the CCS scheme.
Additionally, the CCS and new subgrid approximations were used to perform conservative grid-to-grid interpolation between two spherical grids in latitude / longitude coordinates. The methods were tested by prescribing an analytical sine wave function which was integrated over grid cells at T-42 resolution (approximately 2.8ˆ{o} imes2.8ˆ{o}) and at 1ˆ{o} resolution. Then, the 1ˆ{o} data is interpolated to the T-42 grid to compare against the analytical formulation. Three test data sets were created with increasing sharpness in the sine wave profiles by spanning 1, 3, and 9 wavelengths across the domain. It was found that in all test cases, PDHM performed the best in the interpolation scheme, better than PPM.
Regarding temporal accuracy, a linear, SISL 2-D dynamical model is given harmonic input for the dependent variables to extract a Von-Neumann analysis of the SISL numerical modification of the solution. The Boussinesq approximation is relaxed, and spatial error is removed in order to isolate only temporal accuracy. A hydrostatic switch is employed to invoke and remove non-hydrostatic dynamics. Trajectory uncentering (typically used to suppress spurious orographic SISL resonance) is included by altering the coefficients of the forcing terms of the linear equations. It was found that with regard to Internal Gravity Wave (IGW) motion, the first-, second-, and third-order Adams-Moulton (AM) schemes performed with…

▼ We investigate the impact of cash reserves upon the
optimal behaviour of a modelled firm that has uncertain future
revenues. To achieve this, we build up a corporate financing model
of a firm from a Real Options foundation, with the option to close
as a core business decision maintained throughout. We model the
firm by employing an optimal stochastic control mathematical
approach, which is based upon a partial differential equations
perspective. In so doing, we are able to assess the incremental
impacts upon the optimal operation of the cash constrained firm, by
sequentially including: an optimal dividend distribution; optimal
equity financing; and optimal debt financing (conducted in a novel
equilibrium setting between firm and creditor). We present
efficient numerical schemes to solve these models, which are
generally built from the Projected Successive Over Relaxation
(PSOR) method, and the
Semi-
Lagrangian approach. Using these
numerical tools, and our gained economic insights, we then allow
the firm the option to also expand the operation, so they may also
take advantage of favourable economic conditions.

Lagrangian traceline methods with high order WENO reconstructions to compute the mass that flows into a given cell over a time step. These schemes are important since they have a relaxed CFL constraint, and can be run in parallel. In this thesis we provide two improvements to Eulerian-
Lagrangian schemes. To do this an integration based WENO (IWENO) interpolation technique is derived by reconstructing the primitive function and differentiating. This technique gives a high order reconstruction of the mass at an arbitrary point. This WENO scheme is used to solve the linear advection problem. A scheme is derived by backwards tracing of quadrature points located on mesh
elements. The mass at these tracepoints is used to compute the mass in the trace region, without resolving its boundary. This process defines a high order quadrature Eulerian-
Lagrangian WENO (QEL-WENO) scheme that solves the multi-dimensional problem without the need for a spatial splitting technique. The second improvement is for solving the nonlinear advection problem using an approximate velocity field. The velocity field is used to transport mass in the manner of a standard Eulerian-
Lagrangian scheme. Then a flux correction is applied to compute the flow across the tracelines. The contribution is to use a variation of the IWENO technique to reduce the stencil size of this computation. Numerical results are presented demonstrating the capabilities of the scheme. An application to two-phase flow in porous media is provided.

▼ Prediction of ductile fracture, which is a prevalent failure mode in most engineering structures, is vital to numerous industries. Despite significant advancements in fracture mechanics, ductile fracture modeling has remained a challenging task and a continuing area of research. The peridynamic theory has attracted broad interest in recent years, for its innovative approach for simulating material damage. While peridynamics has been largely utilized to simulate cracking events in brittle materials, its ability in predicting ductile failure remains mostly untested. In this dissertation, a rigorous investigation into the capabilities of peridynamics in simulating ductile fracture in metallic alloys is undertaken. The third Sandia Fracture Challenge, as a true blind prediction challenge, is employed in this examination. In this challenge, the state of the art of the peridynamic modeling of ductile fracture is implemented to predict deformations and failure of an additively manufactured metal, with a complex geometry, under the dynamic tensile experiments performed by Sandia National Laboratories. Following the participation in the challenge, while our modeling approach led to qualitatively good blind predictions and a correctly predicted crack path, it underpredicted the load-carrying capacity of the structure and simulated an early fracture. Our post-experiment analysis identifies the main sources of discrepancy between the blind simulations and experiments to be (1) material instabilities associated with the finite deformation peridynamic model and (2) unreliability of a
Lagrangian peridynamic framework in solving problems involving extremely large deformation and extensive damage. To address the aforementioned issues, a novel bond-associated,
semi-
Lagrangian, constitutive correspondence, peridynamic framework is proposed, in which peridynamic material point interactions depend only on their current properties (e.g. position and stress values) in the deformed configuration, and a rate-based approach is utilized to advance the state of material. A nonlocal version of the velocity gradient is presented to determine the Cauchy stress rate, using local constitutive theories, as an intermediate quantity in computing peridynamic bond forces. A novel bond-associated, correspondence damage modeling is introduced by using the bond-associated internal properties, e.g. stress and strain values, to incorporate classical failure criteria within the peridynamic framework. The new theory is employed to revisit the Sandia Fracture Challenge problem. Our results indicate that the new approach significantly improves the peridynamic predictions of large deformation and ductile fracture

▼ We present algorithms and software for parameter estimation for forward and inverse tumor growth problems and diffeomorphic image registration. Our methods target the following scenarios: automatic image registration of healthy images to tumor bearing medical images and parameter estimation/calibration of tumor models. This thesis focuses on robust and scalable algorithms for these problems.
Although the proposed framework applies to many problems in oncology, we focus on primary brain tumors and in particular low and high-grade gliomas. For the tumor model, the main quantity of interest is the extent of tumor infiltration into the brain, beyond what is visible in imaging.
The inverse tumor problem assumes that we have patient images at two (or more) well-separated times so that we can observe the tumor growth. Also, the inverse problem requires that the two images are segmented. But in a clinical setting such information is usually not available. In a typical case, we just have multimodal magnetic resonance images with no segmentation. We address this lack of information by solving a coupled inverse registration and tumor problem. The role of image registration is to find a plausible mapping between the patient's
tumor-bearing image and a normal brain (atlas), with known segmentation. Solving this coupled inverse problem has a prohibitive computational cost, especially in 3D. To address this challenge we have developed novel schemes, scaled up to 200K cores.
Our main contributions is the design and implementation of fast solvers for these problems. We also study the performance for the tumor parameter estimation and registration solvers and their algorithmic scalability. In particular, we introduce the following novel algorithms: An adjoint formulation for tumor-growth problems with/without mass-effect; The first parallel 3D Newton-Krylov method for large diffeomorphic image registration; A novel parallel
semi-
Lagrangian algorithm for solving advection equations in image registration and its parallel implementation on shared and distributed memory architectures; and Accelerated FFT (AccFFT), an open-source parallel FFT library for CPU and GPUs scaled up to 131,000 cores with optimized kernels for computing spectral operators.
The scientific outcomes of this thesis, has appeared in the proceedings of three ACM/IEEE SCxy conferences (two best student paper finalist, and one ACM SRC gold medal), two journal papers, two papers in review, four papers in preparation (coupling, mass effect, segmentation, and multi-species tumor model), and seven conference presentations.

▼ The numerical simulation of transient dynamic failure of structures subjected to blast loadings requires the key physics such as strong shocks in fluid (explosive gas and air) and solid media, fluid-structure interaction, material damage and fragmentations, and multi-body contact to be properly considered in the mathematical formulation and the associated numerical algorithms. These dominant phenomena in blast events yield “rough solution” in the conservation equations in the form of moving discontinuities that cannot be effectively modeled by the conventional finite element methods. A semi-Lagrangian meshfree Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) framework is proposed to model such extreme events in this study. In this work, shock waves in both air and solid are modeled by embedding the Godunov flux into the semi-Lagrangian RKPM formulation in a unified manner. The essential shock physics are introduced in the proposed node-based Riemann solver, and the Gibbs oscillation is limited by introducing a gradient smoothing technique. In this thesis, two formulations are proposed and verified by solving a set of multi-dimensional benchmark problems involving strong shocks in fluids and solids. The air-structure interface is treated by a level set enhanced natural kernel contact algorithm, which does not require the definition of potential contact surfaces a priori. The blast-induced fragmentation is simulated by the damage model under the semi-Lagrangian RKPM discretization without using the artificial element erosion technique. Several benchmark problems have been solved to verify the accuracy and performance of the proposed numerical formulation. This computational framework is then applied to the simulation of a reinforced concrete column subjected to blast loading and explosive welding processes, demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methods.

▼ The study of projectile penetration has a long history with a great military research interest
for various applications such as projectile’s design to maximize depth of penetration into different materials, or penetration depth prediction for munitions removal for military training sites. The nature of the problem involves complex physics and mechanics, leading to extremely large deformations, high velocity penetration, and highly fragmented configurations, which in turn posts immense challenges in computational simulations. The aims of this study is to develop computational tools, addressing challenges at micro- and macro-scales, to simulate and study mechanisms of projectile penetration into soils.
Within a hierarchical multiscale framework, a microscale model accounting micro defeats and their evolution can be simulated in detail in order to develop physically based constitutive models for geomaterials. However, simulating an excessive amount of defeats and how they propagate, branch, and nuclear, remains a big challenge in computation. The phase-field variational approaches have gained considerable amount of interest to address challenges abovementioned. However, phase-field becomes a computationally expensive method when narrow-width crack with a small value for length-scale parameter is required, which demands an extremely fine mesh close to the crack initiation location and on its propagation path. Moreover, Galerkin methods require quadrature rule for numerical integration which leads to either integration inaccuracy and instability or excessively high computational cost. To overcome domain integration issues and mesh-size dependency of the phase-field approach, two new methods are introduced within the Reproducing Kernel (RK) collocation method. A high-order gradient reproducing kernel collocation method (HGRKCM) is introduced for solving higher order phase-field formulation, such as the fourth-order formulation which increases the regularity of the phase-field solution. The method provides stable and accurate solutions by solving the determined system of equations and gradient derivatives of RK shape functions, which boost the computational efficiency compared to regular RK collocation methods. Besides, a Harmonic RK (HRK) method is introduced to address the mesh-decency of the phase-field problem. The method provides exact approximation for the phase-field solution up to machine limit with considerably coarser nodal distant size compared to other methods. Harmonic-enriched RK in the HGRKCM framework provide a robust method for solving the phase-field problem in term of both accuracy and efficiency.
To simulate the penetration process at the macroscale, a two-field (u - p) formulation based on the Biot theory has been developed and implemented under the
semi-
Lagrangian RK framework, where displacement and pressure fields are independently approximated by the
semi-
Lagrangian RK shape functions. A Drucker-Prager type constitutive model including a one-parameter damage model is employed to simulate the…

▼ We investigate the impact of cash reserves upon the optimal behaviour of a modelled firm that has uncertain future revenues. To achieve this, we build up a corporate financing model of a firm from a Real Options foundation, with the option to close as a core business decision maintained throughout. We model the firm by employing an optimal stochastic control mathematical approach, which is based upon a partial differential equations perspective. In so doing, we are able to assess the incremental impacts upon the optimal operation of the cash constrained firm, by sequentially including: an optimal dividend distribution; optimal equity financing; and optimal debt financing (conducted in a novel equilibrium setting between firm and creditor). We present efficient numerical schemes to solve these models, which are generally built from the Projected Successive Over Relaxation (PSOR) method, and the Semi-Lagrangian approach. Using these numerical tools, and our gained economic insights, we then allow the firm the option to also expand the operation, so they may also take advantage of favourable economic conditions.

▼ The present work is devoted to the study of free boundary problems for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variables. The goal of the present work is to elaborate a methodology for numerical modeling of all kinds of incompressible viscous fluids, having in mind possible application to deep water, lava flow simulation and crust formation.
Our approach could be essentially divided in three fundamental components: finite difference for spatial approximation, second order accurate method for temporal discretization and level set methods for boundary representation.
The domain is discretized by a regular Cartesian grid. The boundary is described by level set methods. In this context the boundary is seen as a zero level set of a specific function. Navier-Stokes equations is solved starting from Semi-Lagrangian methods, achieving second order accuracy in time and space. Resolution of Navier-Stokes equations allows a Poisson problem for pressure as an intermediate step. This is solved by multigrid methods. The velocity and the pressure are computed by solving a single implicit system solved iteratively.

▼ Current climate models have a limited ability to increase spatial resolution because numerical stability requires the time step to decrease. I describe initial experiments with two independent but complementary strategies for attacking this "time barrier". First I describe computational experiments exploring the performance improvements from overlapping computation and communication on hybrid parallel computers. My test case is explicit time integration of linear advection with constant uniform velocity in a three-dimensional periodic domain. I present results for Fortran implementations using various combinations of MPI, OpenMP, and CUDA, with and without overlap of computation and communication. Second I describe a semi-Lagrangian method for tracer transport that is stable for arbitrary Courant numbers, along with a parallel implementation discretized on the cubed sphere. It shows optimal accuracy at Courant numbers of 10-20, more than an order of magnitude higher than explicit methods. Finally I describe the development and stability analyses of the time integrators and advection methods I used for my experiments. I develop explicit single-step methods with stability up to Courant numbers of one in each dimension, hybrid explicit-implict methods with stability for arbitrary Courant numbers, and interpolation operators that enable the arbitrary stability of semi-Lagrangian methods.

▼ Cette thèse présente l'étude et le développement de méthodes numériques pour la résolution d'équations de transport, en particulier d'une méthode de remapping bidimensionnel dont un avantage important par rapport aux algorithmes existants est la propriété de conservation de la masse. De nombreux cas-tests permettront de comparer ces approches entre elles ainsi qu'à des méthodes de référence. On s'intéressera en particulier aux équations dites de Vlasov-Poisson et du Centre-Guide, qui apparaissent très classiquement dans le cadre de la physique des plasmas.
This PhD thesis presents the study and development of numerical methods for the resolution of transport equations, in particular a bidimensional remapping method whose main advantage over existing algorithms is the property of mass conservation. Numerous test cases are presented in order to compare these approaches with regard to the others and with reference methods. Focus is made on the so-called Vlasov-Poisson and Center-Guide equations, that appear very classically in the domain of plasma physics.

▼ Os escoamentos altamente convectivos representam um desafio na simulação
pelo método de elementos finitos. Com a solução de elementos finitos de Galerkin
para escoamentos incompressíveis, a matriz associada ao termo convectivo é não
simétrica, e portanto, a propiedade de aproximação ótima é perdida. Na prática as
soluções apresentam oscilações espúrias. Muitos métodos foram desenvolvidos com
o fim de resolver esse problema. Neste trabalho apresentamos um método semi-
Lagrangeano, o qual é implicitamente um método do tipo upwind, que portanto resolve
o problema anterior, e comparamos o desempenho do método na solução das
equações de convecção-difusão e Navier-Stokes incompressível com o Streamline Upwind
Petrov Galerkin (SUPG), um método estabilizador de reconhecido desempenho.
No SUPG, as funções de forma e de teste são tomadas em espaços diferentes, criando
um efeito tal que as oscilações espúrias são drasticamente atenuadas. O método
semi-Lagrangeano é um método de fator de integração, no qual o fator é um operador
de convecção que se desloca para um sistema de coordenadas móveis no fluido, mas
restabelece o sistema de coordenadas Lagrangeanas depois de cada passo de tempo.
Isto prevê estabilidade e a possibilidade de utilizar passos de tempo maiores.Existem
muitos trabalhos na literatura analisando métodos estabilizadores, mas não assim com
o método semi-Lagrangeano, o que representa a contribuição principal deste trabalho:
reconhecer as virtudes e as fraquezas do método semi-Lagrangeano em escoamentos
dominados pelo fenômeno de convecção.
Convection dominated flows represent a challenge for finite element method
simulation. Many methods have been developed to address this problem. In this
work we compare the performance of two methods in the solution of the convectiondiffusion
and Navier-Stokes equations on environmental flow problems: the Streamline
Upwind Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) and the semi-Lagrangian method. In Galerkin
finite element methods for fluid flows, the matrix associated with the convective term
is non-symmetric, and as a result, the best approximation property is lost. In practice,
solutions are often corrupted by espurious oscillations. In this work, we present a semi-
Lagrangian method, which is implicitly an upwind method, therefore solving the spurious
oscillations problem, and a comparison between this semi-Lagrangian method and
the Streamline Upwind Petrov Galerkin (SUPG), an stabilizing method of recognized
performance. The SUPG method takes the interpolation and the weighting functions
in different spaces, creating an effect so that the spurious oscillations are drastically
attenuated. The semi-Lagrangean method is a integration factor method, in which the
factor is an operator that shifts to a coordinate system that moves with the fluid, but it
resets the Lagrangian coordinate system after each time step. This provides stability
and the possibility to take bigger time steps. There are many works in the literature
analyzing stabilized methods, but they do not analyze the semi-Lagrangian…

▼ Les instabilités de type Weibel naissent si la distribution des vitesses du plasma présente une anisotropie. Elles entraînent la génération d’un champ magnétique dû à la formation de filaments de courant ainsi qu’une activité électrostatique importante. Ces phénomènes de base apparaissent dans de nombreuses situations, naturelles (vent solaire, jets relativistes) ou expérimentales (interaction laser-plasma) : les plasmas dans lesquels ils naissent peuvent être relativistes ou non, magnétisés ou non, collisionnels ou non, ce qui pose la question du choix du modèle à utiliser pour les décrire. La théorie cinétique est le cadre le plus complexe dans lequel nous travaillerons. De par sa complexité, il est intéressant de développer des modèles réduits. Un premier travail mené au cours de cette thèse est l’utilisation d’un modèle fluide incluant la dynamique du tenseur de pression pour modéliser la phase linéaire des instabilités de type Weibel. On discute le rôle essentiel joué par les composantes hors diagonale du tenseur dans la génération du champ magnétique, puis la capacité du modèle à reproduire quantitativement ou qualitativement les résultats cinétiques en introduisant la notion de limite hydrodynamique. La seconde partie de la thèse est ciblée sur le développement du code semi-lagrangien relativiste VLEM utilisant une méthode de décomposition de domaine : on présente les principales méthodes mathématiques utilisées dans le code, puis on aborde la problématique de la conservation de la charge à laquelle on apporte une réponse reposant sur une adaptation de la méthode d’Esirkepov. Le code est enfin validé grâce à plusieurs simulations d’instabilités de type Weibel
Weibel-type instabilities occurs when the velocity distribution function of the charged particles displays a pronounced anisotropy. A long-lasting magnetic field is generated due to the formation of current filaments, and it is accompanied by an important electrostatic activity. These ``basic’’ phenomena have been greatly investigated because of their involvement in many physical problems, natural (solar wind, relativistic jets) or experimental (laser-plasma interaction) : they occurs in plasmas which can be collisional or not, magnetised or not, relativistic or not. One needs to choose a suitable model for their description. The kinetic theory is the most complete and somewhat complex theoretical framework which we will consider. Due to its complexity, it may be interesting to develop reduced models. The first work realised during this thesis is the utilisation of a non-relativistic fluid description, including the dynamics of the pressure tensor, in order to model the linear Weibel-type instabilities. We put in evidence the effect of the non-diagonal components of the tensor on the magnetic field generation. We discuss the ability of the model to reproduce quantitatively or qualitatively the kinetic results by introducing the hydrodynamics limit. The second part of this thesis work is dedicated to the development of the relativistic semi-lagrangian…

▼ Ce manuscrit de thèse traite de l'analyse asymptotique de problèmes paraboliques possédant des termes raides. Dans un premier temps, on fait l'analyse asymptotique d'un système parabolique possédant des termes de transport raide. Une analyse à deux échelles, basée sur des résultats de théorie ergodique, nous permet de dériver un système limite effectif. Ce système effectif se trouve être, de nouveau, un système parabolique dont le champ de diffusion peut être explicité par une moyenne du champ de diffusion initial le long d'un groupe d'opérateurs unitaires. L'introduction d'un correcteur nous permet d'obtenir un résultat de convergence forte, avec un ordre de convergence, pour des données initiales non nécessairement bien préparées. On propose dans un second temps une méthode numérique permettant de calculer le champ de diffusion effectif. Celle-ci est basée sur la combinaison d'un schéma Runge-Kutta et d'un schéma de type semi-Lagrangien. L'ordre de convergence obtenu théoriquement est mis en évidence de manière numérique. On propose une méthode numérique basée sur un splitting d'opérateur pour la résolution du système parabolique avec termes de transport raide. Enfin, on effectue l'analyse asymptotique d'un système parabolique fortement anisotrope. Sous de bonnes hypothèses de régularité, un système variationnel effectif est proposé et l'introduction d'un correcteur adapté permet d'obtenir un résultat de convergence forte avec un ordre de convergence. Les arguments utilisés relèvent une nouvelle fois de l'analyse à deux échelles et de la théorie ergodique.
This manuscript is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of parabolic equations with stiff terms. First, we perform the asymptotic analysis of a parabolic equation with stiff transport terms. An effective limit model is obtained by a two-scale analysis based on ergodic theory results. This effective system is again a parabolic system whose diffusion field is an average of the initial diffusion field along a group of unitary operators. The introduction of a corrector allows us to obtain a strong convergence result, with an order of convergence, for initial data not necessarily well prepared. We propose a numerical method to compute the effective diffusion field. This method is based on a Runge-Kutta scheme and a semi-Lagrangian scheme. The theoretically order of convergence is obtained numerically. We propose a numerical method based on operator splitting for the resolution of the parabolic system with stiff transport terms. Finally, we perform the asymptotic analysis of a strongly anisotropic parabolic problem. Under suitable smoothness hypotheses, an effective variational system is proposed. By using a suitable corrector, we obtain a strong convergence result and we are able to perform the error analysis. The arguments relate again to the two-scale analysis and the ergodic theory.

▼ The non-hydrostatic dynamical core ENDGame (Even Newer Dynamics for the General Atmospheric Modelling of the Environment) is extended into the thermosphere to test its feasability as a whole-atmosphere dynamical core that can simulate the large scale fluid dynamics of the whole atmosphere from the surface to the top of the thermosphere at 600km. This research may have applications in the development of a Sun-to-Earth modelling system involving the Met Office Unified Model, which will be useful for space weather forecasting and chemical climate modelling. Initial attempts to raise the top boundary of ENDGame above ∼100km give rise to instabilities. To explore the potential causes of these instabilities, a one dimensional column version of ENDGame: ENDGame1D, is developed to study the effects of vertically propagating acoustic waves in the dynamical core. A 2D ray-tracing scheme is also developed, which accounts for the numerical effects on wave propagation. It is found that ENDGame’s numerics have a tendency towards the excessive focussing of wave energy towards vertical propagation, and have poor handling of large amplitude waves, also being unable to handle shocks. A key finding is that the physical processes of vertical molecular viscosity and diffusion prevent the excessive growth of wave amplitudes in the thermosphere in ENDGame, which may be crucial to improving ENDGame’s stability as it is extended upwards. Therefore, a fully implicit-in-time implementation of vertical molecular viscosity and diffusion is developed in both ENDGame1D and the full three-dimensional version of ENDGame: ENDGame3D. A new scheme is developed to deal with the viscous and diffusive terms with the dynamics terms in a fully coupled way to avoid time-splitting errors that may arise. The combination of a small amount of off-centring of ENDGame’s semi-implicit formulation and the inclusion of vertical molecular viscosity and diffusion act to make ENDGame significantly more stable, as long as the simulation is able to remain stable up to the molecularly diffused region above an altitude of ∼130km.

▼ Ce travail concerne l’écoulement incompressible et stationnaire autour d’un cylindre semi-infini en rotation, et ses propriétés de stabilité linéaire. L’effet de la courbure et de la rotation sur la stabilité de cet écoulement est étudié de manière systématique. Avant d’étudier la stabilité, nous calculons d’abord l’écoulement de base. A grand nombre de Reynolds, une couche limite se développe le long du cylindre, ce qui permet d’utiliser l’approximation de couche limite des équations de Navier–Stokes. Ces équations dépendent de deux paramètres de contrôle sans dimension, le nombre de Reynolds (Re) et le taux de rotation (S), et sont résolues numériquement pour obtenir les profils de vitesse et de pression pour une large gamme des paramètres de contrôle. Une couche limite initialement mince s’épaissit avec la distance axiale; ainsi, son épaisseur devient comparable et finalement plus importante que le rayon du cylindre. Au-delà d’un certain taux de rotation, les effets centrifuges conduisent `a un jet de paroi le long d’une portion du cylindre. L’extension axiale de ce jet augmente avec le taux de rotation. L’intensité du jet augmente aussi avec S. Des analyses asymptotiques de l’écoulement à grande distance axiale et à fort taux de rotation sont aussi présentées. L’analyse de stabilité linéaire du précédent écoulement est effectuée dans l’approximation locale. Après une décomposition en modes normaux, les équations des perturbations sont transformées en un problème de valeur propre `a fréquence complexe (ω). Ce problème dépend de cinq paramètres sans dimension: Re, S, la distance axiale normalisée (Z), le nombre d’onde axial (α) et le nombre d’onde azimutal (m). Les équations de stabilité sont résolues numériquement pour étudier les régions instables dans l’espace des paramètres. On observe que de faibles taux de rotation ont un effet important sur la stabilité de l’écoulement. Cette forte déstabilisation est associée à la présence d’un mode quasi-marginal pour le cylindre fixe et qui devient instable pour de petites valeurs de S. Ce phénomène est confirmé par une analyse en perturbation `a petit S. Sans rotation, l’écoulement est stable pour tout Re < 1060, et pour Z > 0.81. Mais, en présence d’une faible rotation, l’instabilité n’est plus limitée par une valeur minimale de Re ou un seuil en Z. Les courbes critiques dans le plan (Z, Re) sont calculées pour une large gamme de S et les conséquences pour la stabilité de l’écoulement discutées. Enfin, un développement asymptotique pour le nombre de Reynolds critique est obtenu, valable aux grandes valeurs de Z.
This work concerns the steady, incompressible flow around a semi-infinite, rotating cylinder and its linear-stability properties. The effect of cylinder curvature and rotation on the stability of this flow is investigated in a systematic manner. Prior to studying its stability, we first compute the basic flow. At large Reynolds numbers, a boundary layer develops along the cylinder. The governing equations are obtained using a boundary-layer approximation to…

▼ [pt] Ao longo dos anos, a interação aço-concreto tem
obtido um lugar de destaque do ponto de vista estrutural, ampliando
a gama de soluções em concreto armado e aço, o que permite atender
aos novos desafios arquitetônicos e às exigências que o mercado
impõe. O objetivo do sistema misto é a combinação desses dois
materiais, formando um único sistema estrutural em que a capacidade
portante de cada elemento possa ser explorada ao máximo, tirando-se
proveito da grande capacidade do concreto resistir a esforços de
compressão, e de o aço, à tração. Essas características singulares
de sistemas mistos aço-concreto conduzem a frequências naturais
mais próximas da faixa de frequência de excitações associada às
atividades humanas. Sendo assim, as considerações relacionadas ao
projeto estrutural obrigam os engenheiros a fazer verificações
quanto à resistência e à estabilidade de sistemas estruturais
(estados limites últimos), mas os problemas relacionados ao estado
limite de utilização desses sistemas devem ser analisados de forma
mais cuidadosa. Embora o assunto de vibrações em lajes de edifícios
induzidas por atividades humanas tem sido de continuado interesse a
pesquisadores e a engenheiros ao longo dos últimos dois séculos
(1828-2009), inexiste na literatura técnica, até onde o autor tem
conhecimento, análise de correlações teórico-experimentais de
vibrações de estruturas mistas aço-concreto sob ação de atividades
humanas, na qual são consideradas a ortotropia, a interação parcial
e as ligações semirrígidas. Com o objetivo de contribuir nessa
direção, o presente trabalho investiga o efeito da interação
aço-concreto sobre a resposta dinâmica de sistemas de pisos
mistos.
[en] Over the years the steel-concrete interaction
have been achieving excelent results, in terms of structural
performance. This fact have enlarged the range of applications of
concrete and steel structures enabling the development of efficient
solutions that attend the demands claimed by the market and by
increasinly daring architectures. The composite action main
objective is to combine steel and concrete into single structural
system where the optimum performance of the combined elements could
be explored. The concrete is used to sustain compressive while the
steel is better used when submitted to tension. These singular
characteristics of the composite systems, on the other hand, lead
to composite structural systems with natural frequencies close to
the frequency associated to human induced loads. Usually the design
of composite structures is focused on verifications related to
ultimate limit states associated to strength and stability, but the
problems related to serviceability limit states should also be
carefully considered. Despite the fact that floor vibration induced
by human activity has been extensively investigated in the past
(1828-2009) there is still a lack of published information on
theoretical-experimental correlations on the dynamic response of
composite structures specially after considering effects releted to
partial interaction,…

▼ [pt] A caracterização das pressões de poros nas bacias
sedimentares marinhas é fundamental dentro da etapa de planejamento
dos projetos de perfuração na indústria do Petróleo. Uma vez que o
desconhecimento dessas pressões coloca em risco a integridade das
pessoas nas sondas de perfuração, o ambiente, além de causar
grandes prejuízos para as companhias. As metodologias para a
estimativa das poropressões na indústria do petróleo tiveram grande
desenvolvimento a partir da década de1950. Porém, a grande maioria
delas não levam em consideração caraterísticas geológicas
importantes como a diagêneses das rochas, as condições de contorno
para o fluxo de fluidos, e os mecanismos de dissipação das
sobrepressões durante o tempo geológico. Por isso, o principal
objetivo do trabalho é fortalecer os estudos convencionais de
estimativa de pressão de poros incluindo uma metodologia não
convencional com abordagem na modelagem de bacias. Essa metodologia
permite analisar o fenômeno como um sistema dinâmico, bem como
levar em consideração os mecanismos de geração e de dissipação das
pressões durante a evolução geológica da Bacia. Apresenta-se a
descrição dos principais mecanismos de geração de sobrepressão, a
teoria que descreve o fenômeno das sobrepressões, as metodologias
convencionais utilizadas na indústria do petróleo e as hipóteses da
metodologia baseada na modelagem de bacias. Utilizou-se o software
SEMIMT, do instituto de pesquisa da Noruega, o SINTEF, para
realizar a estimativa das poropressões na Bacia de Guajira, uma
região offshore do norte da Colômbia. A estimativa das pressões
considerou os contornos da bacia, o modelo geológico da região, o
histórico de soterramento da Bacia, bem como de modelos de
compactação e os modelos de fluxo vertical e fluxo horizontal dos
fluidos. O resultado da estimativa das pressões permitiu definir
quatro zonas com diferente grau de sobrepressão na área em estudo,
que foram comparados com uma metodologia convencional, bem com
dados históricos de poços perfurados na região.
[en] Pore pressure prediction is a critical issue for
well planning in the oil and gas industry. It is even more critical
for offshore environments due to high risks involved in drilling
operation. Blowout is the main risk regarding pore pressure since
it could cause rig explosion, and oil spills to environment. Such
problems can lead a successful company to a very weak position.
Therefore, since the fifties, several methodologies for pore
pressure prediction have been developed for the industry. Most of
them just consider the mechanism of compaction as the main cause of
overpressure, ignoring other factors such as rock diagenesis,
boundary conditions for fluid flow, and pressure dissipation during
the geologic history. That is why the main objective of this work
is improving current pore pressure studies, including an
alternative methodology (developed by the Norway Petroleum Research
Institute - SINTEF), from a scale of basin modeling. That
methodology allows analyzing the pressure phenomenon like a dynamic
system,…

▼ [pt] Tarefas de exploração de informação são
reconhecidas por possuir características tais como alta
complexidade, falta de conhecimento do usuário sobre o domínio da
tarefa e incertezas sobre as estratégias de solução. O
estado-da-arte em exploração de dados inclui uma variedade de
modelos e ferramentas baseadas em diferentes paradigmas de
interação, como por exemplo, busca por palavras-chave, busca
facetada e orientação-a-conjuntos. Não obstante os muitos avanços
das últimas décadas, a falta de uma abordagem formal do processo de
exploração, juntamente com a falta de uma adoção mais pragmática do
princípio de separação-de-responsabilidades no design dessas
ferramentas são a causa de muitas limitações. Dentre as limitações,
essa tese aborda a falta de expressividade, caracterizada por
restrições na gama de estratégias de solução possíveis, e
dificuldades de análise e comparação entre as ferramentas
propostas. A partir desta observação, o presente trabalho propõe um
modelo formal de ações e processos de exploração, uma nova
abordagem para o projeto de ferramentas de exploração e uma
ferramenta que generaliza o estado-da-arte em exploração de
informação. As avaliações do modelo, realizadas por meio de estudos
de caso, análises e comparações o estado-da-arte, corroboram a
utilidade da abordagem.
[en] Information exploration processes are usually
recognized by their inherent complexity, lack of knowledge and
uncertainty, concerning both the domain and the solution
strategies. Even though there has been much work on the development
of computational systems supporting exploration tasks, such as
faceted search and set-oriented interfaces, the lack of a formal
understanding of the exploration process and the absence of a
proper separation of concerns approach in the design phase is the
cause of many expressivity issues and serious limitations. This
work proposes a novel design approach of exploration tools based on
a formal framework for representing exploration actions and
processes. Moreover, we present a new exploration system that
generalizes the majority of the state-of-the art exploration tools.
The evaluation of the proposed framework is guided by case studies
and comparisons with state-of-the-art tools. The results show the
relevance of our approach both for the design of new exploration
tools with higher expressiveness, and formal assessments and
comparisons between different tools.

▼ During the work of this research project we were interested in mathematical techniques that give us an insight to the following questions: How do we understand the trading decisions made by a manager of a hedge fund and what influences these decisions? In what way does an illiquid market affect these decisions and the performance of the fund? And how does the payment scheme affect the investor's decisions? Based on existing work on hedge fund management, we start with a fund that can be modelled with one risky investment and one riskless investment. Next, subject to the hedge fund special reward scheme we maximise the expected utility of wealth of the manager, by controlling the percentage invested in the risky investment, namely the portfolio. We use stochastic control techniques to derive a partial differential equation (PDE) and numerically obtain its corresponding viscosity solution, which provides a weak notion of solutions to these PDEs. This is then taken to a liquidity constrained scenario, to compare the behaviour of the two scenarios. Using the same approach as before we notice that due to the liquidity restriction we cannot use a simple model to combine the risky and riskless investments as a total amount, and hence the PDE is one order higher than before. We then model an investor who is investing in the hedge fund subject to the manager's optimal portfolio decisions, with similar mathematical tools as before. Comparisons between the investor's expected utility of wealth and the utility of having the money invested in the risk-free investment suggests that, in some cases, the investor is paying more to the manager than the return he is receiving for having invested in the hedge fund, compared to a risk-free investment. For that reason we propose a strategic game where the manager's action is to allocate the money between the two assets and the investor's action is to add money to the fund when he expects profit. The result is that the investor profits from the option to reinvest in the fund, although in some extreme cases the actions of the manager make the investor receive a negative value for having the option.

differential equation (PDE) and numerically obtain its
corresponding viscosity solution, which provides a weak notion of
solutions to these PDEs. This is then taken to a liquidity
constrained scenario, to compare the behaviour of the two
scenarios. Using the same approach as before we notice that due to
the liquidity restriction we cannot use a simple model to combine
the risky and riskless investments as a total amount, and hence the
PDE is one order higher than before.We then model an investor who
is investing in the hedge fund
subject to the manager's optimal
portfolio decisions, with similar mathematical tools as before.
Comparisons between the investor's expected utility of wealth and
the utility of having the money invested in the risk-free
investment suggests that, in some cases, the investor is paying
more to the manager than the return he is receiving for having
invested in the hedge fund, compared to a risk-free investment. For
that reason we propose a strategic game where the manager's action
is to allocate the money between the two assets and the investor's
action is to add money to the fund when he expects profit. The
result is that the investor profits from the option to reinvest in
the fund, although in some extreme cases the actions of the manager
make the investor receive a negative value for having the
option.

▼ La numérisation 3D permet de générer des représentations numériques très réalistes et fidèles géométriquement aux surfaces réelles. Cependant, cette fidélité géométrique, obtenue à l'aide d'un sur-échantillonnage de surfaces, augmente considérablement le volume de données générées. Les maillages ainsi produits sont donc très denses, et peu adaptés aux différents supports de visualisation, de transfert, de stockage, etc. La représentation semi-régulière des surfaces permet de diminuer le volume nécessaire à la représentation de ces maillages denses, et possède des qualités bien connues en matière de représentations multi-échelles et de compression. Cette thèse a pour objectif d'optimiser la chaîne de numérisation 3D classique en améliorant l'échantillonnage des surfaces tout en conservant la fidélité géométrique, et en court-circuitant les étapes fastidieuses qui conduisent à une représentation semi-régulière. Pour cela, nous avons intégré dans un système stéréoscopique, l'échantillonnage en disques de Poisson qui, grâce à ses propriétés de bruit bleu, réalise un bon compromis entre sous- et sur-échantillonnage. Ensuite, nous avons généré un mailleur semi-régulier, qui travaille directement sur les images stéréoscopiques, et non sur une version remaillée des nuages de points habituellement générés par ces systèmes. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que ces deux contributions génèrent de façon efficace des représentations semi-régulières, qui sont géométriquement fidèles aux surfaces réelles, tout en réduisant le volume de données générées.
Nowadays, 3D digitization systems generate numeric representations that are both realistic and of high geometric accuracy with respect to real surfaces. However, this geometric accuracy, obtained by oversampling surfaces, increases significantly the generated amount of data. Consequently, the resulting meshes are very dense, and not suitable to be visualized, transmitted or even stored efficiently. Nevertheless, the semi-regular representation due to its scalable and compact representation, overcomes this problem. This thesis aims at optimizing the classic 3D digitization chain, by first improving the sampling of surfaces while preserving geometric features, and secondly shortening the number of required treatments to obtain such semi-regular meshes. To achieve this goal, we integrated in a stereoscopic system the Poisson-disk sampling that realizes a good tradeoff between undersampling and oversampling, thanks to its blue noise properties. Then, we produced a semi-regular meshing technique that directly works on the stereoscopic images, and not on a meshed version of point clouds, which are usually generated by such 3D scanners. Experimental results prove that our contributions efficiently generate semi-regular representations, which are accurate with respect to real surfaces, while reducing the generated amount of data.

▼ In this thesis we give an overview of recent stochastic Lagrangian models and present a new particle model for turbulent dispersion and chemical reactions. Our purpose is to investigate and assess the feasibility of the Lagrangian approach for
modelling the turbulent dispersion and chemistry interactions. We emphasise the numerical aspects and advantages of the
method for the implementation on (massively) parallel computers.
In Chapter 1, a general introduction to the topic of modelling turbulent transport and chemistry is given.
Before we direct most of our attention to Lagrangian modelling, we give an overview of Eulerian models for turbulent transport
and chemistry, like direct numerical, large eddy and Reynolds averaged simulations in Chapter 2.
We begin the treatment of Lagrangian modelling with a detailed survey of the stochastic Lagrangian theory (Chapter 3). In
stochastic models turbulence is considered as a stochastic process.Accordingly the concentration is a stochastic function and
can be modelled by its mean, its uctuations and higher statistical moments. By generating many one-particle trajectories we are
able to predict the mean concentration only. The second moment of the concentration can be inferred from the statistics of
particle pair trajectories. Models based on one-particle trajectories are discussed in Chapter 4. In the same chapter we give a
short overview of the problems that arise if one attempts to formulate relative di usion models and present Kaplan and Dinar's
model to describe the trajectories of pairs of uid particles.
There are to our knowledge only a few Lagrangian models for the turbulent transport of reactive constituents. In Chapter 5 an
overview of these models is given. We also propose some improvements in these models and present a new one-particle model.
We present, in Chapter 6 a new two-particle model for turbulent transport and chemistry interactions. The results of the new
two-particle model for transport and chemistry are discussed in Chapter 7.
In Chapter 8 the parallel implementation aspects of Lagrangian models and of the new two-particle model in particular are
discussed. Finally the conclusions from the present study are summarised in Chapter 9.

▼ [pt] As ligações viga-pilar desempenham uma função
fundamental para a determinação do comportamento real de estruturas
de aço e mistas. Portanto torna-se necessária uma avaliação muito
criteriosa das reais características geométricas e mecânicas destas
ligações, substituindo as tradicionais considerações idealizadas,
rígida e flexível, pela modelagem semi-rígida em aço ou mista. Com
a intenção de dar continuidade do estudo sobre ligações semirígidas
em aço e desenvolver um estudo sobre as ligações semi-rígidas
mistas, inicialmente foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica destes
assuntos apresentando os parâmetros a serem desenvolvidos nesta
pesquisa. Foi implementado computacionalmente um sistema de análise
e dimensionamento capaz de avaliar o comportamento estrutural
destas ligações a partir da informação das propriedades geométricas
de ligações viga-pilar executadas com placa de extremidade em aço e
mistas, produzindo uma base de dados para um projeto estrutural
mais seguro. Um projeto experimental foi desenvolvido para avaliar
o caminho de transmissão de esforços, através de modelos
experimentais de laboratório, na forma de ensaios pull-out
modificados, adaptando-se este ensaio para regiões de momento
negativo, onde a laje de concreto se encontra fissurada, obtendo um
ensaio capaz de produzir resultados que contribuam com o
desenvolvimento da pesquisa de ligações semi-rígidas em aço e
mistas.
[en] The beam-column connections play a key role in
determining the actual behavior of steel and composite structures.
Therefore it is necessary a very careful assessment of the real
geometrical and mechanical characteristics of these joints,
replacing the traditional idealized considerations, rigid and
flexible for modeling semi-rigid steel or composite. With the
intention of continuing the study of semirigid connections in steel
and develop a study on the semi-rigid composite connections, was
initially performed a revision of startled presenting the
parameters to be developed in this research. We have implemented a
computational system analysis and design capable of evaluating the
structural behavior of these joints from the information of the
geometric properties of beamcolumn connection with end plate
executed in steel and composited, producing a database for a
structural design safer. An experimental project was designed to
evaluate the path transmittance of efforts, through experimental
models of laboratory tests in the form of modified pull-out,
adapting this test for regions of negative moment, where the
concrete slab is cracked, obtaining a test that can produce results
that contribute for the development of research of semi-rigid
connections in steel and composite.
