In a well-mixed condition, High Rate Algal Pond (HRAP) is one of the most appropriate ways for algal biomass production. This study is interested in the effect of the hydrodynamics inside a lab-scale HRAP that plays an important role to realize proper mixing. Computational Fluid Dynamics has proven itself to offer the possibilities of understanding...
In Coulter counters, cells counting and volumetry is achieved by monitoring their electrical print when they flow through a polarized micro-orifice.However, the volume measurement may be impaired when the trajectory of the cell is in the vicinity of the aperture edges due to complex dynamics and deformations of the cell.In this thesis, numerical si...
The numerical simulation of complex physical phenomena usually requires a mesh. InComputational Fluid Dynamics, it consists in representing an object inside a huge control volume.This object is then the subject of some physical study. In general, this object and its boundingbox are represented by linear surface meshes and the intermediary zone is f...

The conventional activated sludge process is the most widely used process for treating urban wastewater. Biomass (activated sludge) grows and forms biological flocs that must be separated from the treated water. This is usually performed by gravity in a clarifier. Activated sludge particles are subject to different settling processes, depending on ...
La méthode LS-STAG est une méthode cartésienne pour le calcul d’écoulements incompressibles en géométries complexes, qui propose une discrétisation précise des équations de Navier-Stokes dans les cut-cells, cellules polyédriques de forme complexe créées par l’intersection du maillage cartésien avec la frontière du solide immergé. Originalement déve...
Dans cette thèse, l’étude des interactions entre des particules ultrafines émises par les pots d’échappement et l’écoulement de sillage créé par le véhicule émetteur a été réalisée principalement selon une approche numérique. Une campagne expérimentale a été conduite à des fins de validation. L’objet de la thèse vise à comprendre l’impact des parti...
A part of non-Newtonian fluids are yield stress fluids. They require a minimum stress to flow. Below this minimum value, yield stress fluids remain solid. To date, 1D and 2D numerical models have been used predominantly to study free surface flows. However, some phenomena have three-dimensional behaviour such as the appearance of the limit between ...
Le nuage de points 3D est la donnée obtenue par la majorité des méthodes de numérisation surfacique actuelles. Nous nous intéressons ainsi dans cette thèse à l’utilisation de nuages de points comme unique représentation explicite de surface. Cette thèse présente deux contributions en traitements basés points.La première contribution proposée est un...
