Numerical analysis of partial differential equations with random coefficients...
This work presents some results about probabilistic and deterministic numerical methods for partial differential equations with stochastic coefficients, with... -
Oceanic currents estimation from satellite image sequences
This thesis studies fluid flows estimation with particle filtering-based assimilation methods imaged using digital cameras. We rely on a specific particle filter, of... -
Analyse numérique de méthodes performantes pour les EDP stochastiques modélis...
This work presents a development and an analysis of an effective deterministic and probabilistic approaches for partial differential equation with random coefficients... -
Usefulness of historical information for flood frequency analyses: Developmen...
This paper illustrates how historical information on floods can be retrieved in the a priori unfavourable case of small and sparsely populated catchments, and how this... -
Particle approximation and the Laplace method for Bayesian filtering
The thesis deals with the contribution of the Laplace method to the approximation of the Bayesian filter in hidden Markov models with continuous state--space, i.e. in... -
Radiative analysis of photobioreactors
Photosynthesis engineering is a promising mean to produce both energy carriers and fine chemicals in order to remedy the growing scarcity of fossil fuels. This is a... -
Modeling the spreading of large-scale wildland fires
The present work is devoted to the development of a hybrid model for predicting the rate of spread of wildland fires at a large scale, taking into account the local... -
An analytical model for backscattered luminance in fog: comparisons with Mont...
We propose an analytical model for backscattered luminance in fog and derive an expression for the visibility signal-to-noise ratio as a function of meteorological... -
Incorporation of information on extreme floods in regional flood frequency an...
Flood frequency analyses are often based on continuous series at gauging station. However, the length of the available data sets is usually too short to provide... -
Glass sagging process - Numerical development of a thermomechanical model
This dissertation is dedicated to the modelling of the glass sagging process. This operation consists in forming a sheet or a plate of glass by heating it in a...
