Contact line models for thin films
In the present work, we describe the dynamics of a moving contact line for thin films flowing down an inclined plane. Our focus is the problem of triple point located... -
Time optimal control and low Reynolds number swimming
This thesis is divided in two parts. The main tool of this work is time optimal control. We first consider the Pontryagin maximum principle for control system of... -
Convergence to equilibrium for discrete gradient-like flows and An accurate m...
The thesis has two independent parts. The first part concerns the convergence toward equilibrium of discrete gradient flows or, with more generality, of some...
