Prédiction du phénomène de tremblement sur un profil d'aile avec une approche LES de type PANS-RSM
No full textThis PhD was devoted to develop a Large Eddy Simulation subgrid scale model based on transport equations. The subgrid scale model is built in the same manner as second order statistical model suggested by Gerolymos-Lo-Vallet-Younis. A constant control parameter has been introduced to tune the amount of turbulent kinetic energy handled by subgrid scale model. This parameter allows a bridging from Direct Numerical Simulation to Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes. This approach can correctly predict turbulent flow with coarser grid and time step than canonical Large Eddy Simulation based on algebraic subgrid scale models where subgrid length scale corresponds to Taylor micro scale. Indeed, the subgrid scale model handles a large part of turbulent kinetic energy in the boundary layer.Transonic flow simulation around OAT15A airfoil is carried out using the suggested approach. On particular inflow conditions, the shock-wave shows a self-sustained motion on the airfoil upper side resulting from the shock-wave boundary layer interaction. Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes is not able to predict averaged field because this large unsteadiness is undeterministic and an LES approach is needed. According to the results, the suggested approach can handle shock-wave motion. Filtered flow field, turbulent correlation and control parameter impact analysis are presented. Finally, development ways are suggested in order to improve the subgrid scale model using inhomogeneous control parameter in space and/or time.L'objectif de cette étude est le developpement d'un modèle de sous-maille à équations de transport pour la simulation aux grandes échelles. Le modèle de sous-maille est développé par analogie avec le modèle statistique du second ordre proposé par Gerolymos-Lo-Vallet-Younis. Un paramètre de contrôle constant y est introduit afin de régler la quantité d'énergie cinétique turbulente modélisée par le modèle de sous-maille. Ce paramètre permet un passage continue entre la résolution directe et statistique des équations de Navier-Stokes. Cette approche à la capacité de prédire correctement des écoulements turbulents avec un maillage spatio-temporel plus grossier qu'avec l'approche de la simulation au grandes échelles classique utilisant des modèles de sous-maille algébriques. La méthode proposée est utilisée pour simuler un écoulement transsonique autour du profil d'aile OAT15A. Pour les conditions d'entrées étudiées, cet écoulement est le siège d'une interaction onde de choc couche limite turbulente sur l'extrados du profil d'aile provoquant une oscillation auto-entretenue de la position de l'onde de choc. Les résultats montrent que l'approche développée est apte à reproduire le mouvement de l'onde de choc. Une analyse des grandeurs filtrées de l'écoulement, des corrélations turbulentes ainsi que de l'impact du paramètre de contrôle est présentée. Enfin, cette étude énonce des suggestions de développement pour améliorer le modèle de sous-maille proposé en utilisant un paramètre de contrôle inhomogène en espace et/ou en temps

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
