Discrétisation du problème de couplage instationnaire des équations de Navier- Stokes avec l'équation de la chaleur
Get PDFThe analytical solutions of the majority of partial differential equations are difficult to calculate, hence, numerical methods are employed.This work is divided into two parts. First, we study the time dependent Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the heat equation with nonlinear viscosity depending on the temperature known as the Boussinesq (buoyancy) model . Then, numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical accuracy of the discretization using the Freefem++ software.In the first part, we propose first order numerical schemes based on the finite element method for the space discretization and the semi-implicit Euler method for the time discretization. In order to gain time and order of convergence, we study a second order scheme in time and space by using respectively the second order BDF method "Backward Differentiation Formula" and the finite element method. An optimal a priori error estimate is then derived for each numerical scheme. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results.The second part is dedicated to the modeling of the thermal instability that appears from time to time while printing using a 3D printer. Our purpose is to build a reliable scheme for the 3D simulation. For this reason, we propose a trivial parallel algorithm based on the domain decomposition method. The numerical results show that this method is not efficient in terms of scalability. Therefore, it is important to use a one-level preconditioning method "ORAS". When using a large number of subdomains, the numerical test shows a slow convergence. In addition, we noticed that the iteration number depends on the physical model. A coarse space correction is required to obtain a better convergence and to be able to model in three dimensions.Les équations aux dérivées partielles issues de la nature n’ont pas de solutions explicites et ne peuvent de ce fait qu’être résolue de manière approchée. Le travail présenté dans cette thèse porte d’une part sur la résolution du système de Navier-stokes couplé avec l’équation de la température. Ce couplage est connu sous le nom du modèle de Boussinesq. La viscosité et la force extérieure sont non linéaires dépendent de la température. D’autre part, sur la validation numérique des résultats théoriques obtenus dans le cadre académique et industriel. Ce travail porte sur deux parties. Dans la première, nous nous intéressons à l’approximation numérique de la solution des schémas discrets proposés en utilisant la méthode d’Euler semi-implicit pour la dicrétisation en temps et la méthode des éléments finis pour la discrétisation en espace d’ordre un. Dans le but de gagner en temps et en ordre de convergence, nous discrétisons le problème de couplage en ordre deux en temps et en espace, respectivement par la méthode BDF et la méthode des éléments finis d’ordre deux.Nous effectuons ainsi l’analyse de l’erreur a priori des schémas proposés et nous terminons par valider les résultats théoriques déjà obtenus par des simulations numériques en utilisant le logiciel Freefem++.La deuxième partie est dédiée à la modélisation du phénomène bouchon qui apparaît de temps en temps durant l’impression 3D. Dans le but d’améliorer l’algorithme séquentiel 2D et pouvoir passer ensuite à la simulation 3D, nous effectuons des calculs parallèles basés sur la méthode de décomposition de domaine. Les résultats obtenus montrent que cette méthode n’est pas efficace en termes de scalablité. Nous utilisons alors une méthode de préconditionnement à un niveau où les essais numériques décèlent une dépendance de la convergence en fonction du nombre de processeurs et de la physique du modèle. D’où l’idée d’ajouter au préconditionneur un deuxième niveau par la résolution du problème grossier

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
