In this master thesis, we propose a multiscale mathematical and computational model for electrokinetic phenomena in porous media electrically charged. We consider a porous medium rigid and incompressible saturated by an electrolyte solution containing four monovalent ionic solutes completely diluted in the aqueous solvent. Initially we developed the modeling electrical double layer how objective to compute the electrical potential, surface density of electrical charges and considering two chemical reactions, we propose a 2-pK model for calculating the chemical adsorption occurring in the domain of electrical double layer. Having the nanoscopic model, we deduce a model in the microscale, where the electrochemical adsorption of ions, protonation/ deprotonation reactions and zeta potential obtained in the nanoscale, are incorporated through the conditions of interface uid/solid of the Stokes problem and transportation of ions, modeled by equations of Nernst-Planck. Using the homogenization technique of periodic structures, we develop a model in macroscopic scale with respective cells problems for the e ective macroscopic parameters of equations. Finally, we propose several numerical simulations of the multiscale model for uid ow and transport of reactive ionic solute in a saturated aqueous solution of kaolinite. Using nanoscopic model we propose some numerical simulations of electrochemical adsorption phenomena in the electrical double layer. Making use of the nite element method discretize the macroscopic model and propose some numerical simulations in basic and acid system aiming to quantify the transport of ionic solutes in porous media electrically charged.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) are techniques involving the formation of hydroxyl radical (HO•) with high organic matter oxidation rate. These processes application in industry have been increasing due to their capacity of degrading recalcitrant substances that cannot be completely removed by traditional processes of effluent treatment. In the present work, phenol degrading by photo-Fenton process based on addition of H2O2, Fe2+ and luminous radiation was studied. An experimental design was developed to analyze the effect of phenol, H2O2 and Fe2+ concentration on the fraction of total organic carbon (TOC) degraded. The experiments were performed in a batch photochemical parabolic reactor with 1.5 L of capacity. Samples of the reactional medium were collected at different reaction times and analyzed in a TOC measurement instrument from Shimadzu (TOC-VWP). The results showed a negative effect of phenol concentration and a positive effect of the two other variables in the TOC degraded fraction. A statistical analysis of the experimental design showed that the hydrogen peroxide concentration was the most influent variable in the TOC degraded fraction at 45 minutes and generated a model with R² = 0.82, which predicted the experimental data with low precision. The Visual Basic for Application (VBA) tool was used to generate a neural networks model and a photochemical database. The aforementioned model presented R² = 0.96 and precisely predicted the response data used for testing. The results found indicate the possible application of the developed tool for industry, mainly for its simplicity, low cost and easy access to the program.

Human development requires a broad balance between ecological, social and economic factors in order to ensure its own sustainability. In this sense, the search for new sources of energy generation, with low deployment and operation costs, which cause the least possible impact to the environment, has been the focus of attention of all society segments. To do so, the reduction in exploration of fossil fuels and the encouragement of using renewable energy resources for distributed generation have proved interesting alternatives to the expansion of the energy matrix of various countries in the world. In this sense, the wind energy has acquired an increasingly significant role, presenting increasing rates of power grid penetration and highlighting technological innovations such as the use of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG). In Brazil, this fact has also been noted and, as a result, the impact of the inclusion of this source in the distribution and sub-transmission power grid has been a major concern of utilities and agents connected to Brazilian electrical sector. Thus, it is relevant the development of appropriate computational tools that allow detailed predictive studies about the dynamic behavior of wind farms, either operating with isolated load, either connected to the main grid, taking also into account the implementation of control strategies for active/reactive power generation and the keeping of adequate levels of voltage and frequency. This work fits in this context since it comprises mathematical and computational developments of a complete wind energy conversion system (WECS) endowed with PMSG using time domain techniques of Alternative Transients Program (ATP), which prides itself a recognized reputation by scientific and academic communities as well as by electricity professionals in Brazil and elsewhere. The modeling procedures performed allowed the elaboration of blocks representing each of the elements of a real WECS, comprising the primary source (the wind), the wind turbine, the PMSG, the frequency converter, the step up transformer, the load composition and the power grid equivalent. Special attention is also given to the implementation of wind turbine control techniques, mainly the pitch control responsible for keeping the generator under the maximum power operation point, and the vector theory that aims at adjusting the active/reactive power flow between the wind turbine and the power grid. Several simulations are performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the wind farm when subjected to different operating conditions and/or on the occurrence of wind intensity variations. The results have shown the effectiveness of both mathematical and computational modeling developed for the wind turbine and the associated controls.

In this study, our goal was develop and describe a molecular model of the enzyme-inhibiting interaction which can be used for an optimized projection of a Microscope Force Atomic nanobiosensor to detect pesticides molecules, used in agriculture, to evaluate its accordance with limit levels stipulated in valid legislation for its use. The studied herbicide (imazaquin) is a typical member of imidazolinone family and is an inhibitor of the enzymatic activity of Acetohydroxiacid Synthase (AHAS) enzyme that is responsible for the first step of pathway for the synthesis of side-chains in amino acids. The analysis of this enzyme property in the presence of its cofactors was made to obtain structural information and charge distribution of the molecular surface to evaluate its capacity of became immobilized on the Microscopy Atomic Force tip. The computational simulation of the system, using Molecular Dynamics, was possible with the force-field parameters for the cofactor and the herbicides obtained by the online tool SwissParam and it was implemented in force-field CHARMM27, used by software GROMACS; then appropriated simulations were made to validate the new parameters. The molecular orientation of the AHAS was defined based on electrostatic map and the availability of the herbicide in the active site. Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) Simulations, followed by quantum mechanics calculations for more representative frames, according to the sequential QM/MM methodology, in a specific direction of extraction of the herbicide from the active site. Therefore, external harmonic forces were applied with similar force constants of AFM cantilever for to simulate herbicide detection experiments by the proposed nanobiosensor. Force value of 1391 pN and binding energy of -14048.52 kJ mol-1 were calculated.

As emoções são consideradas a regra central de nossas vidas, tendo grande impacto na tomada de decisões, ações, memória, atenção, etc. Sendo assim, existe grande interesse em simulá-las em ambientes computacionais, possibilitando que situações do cotidiano humano possam ser estudadas em ambientes controlados. Embora existam modelos teóricos para o funcionamento de emoções, estes por si só são insuficientes para uma simulação precisa em meios computacionais. Tendo como base um destes modelos, o modelo OCC, essa dissertação propõe a simulação de emoções em ambientes mutiagentes através da criação de uma rede Bayesiana capaz de traduzir estímulos gerados neste ambiente em emoções. A utilização de redes Bayesianas combinadas à estrutura do modelo OCC busca a adição de imprevisibilidade ao modelo, além de fornecê-lo uma estrutura computacional. A aplicação do modelo proposto a um sistema multiagentes proporciona o estudo da influência das emoções sobre as ações e comportamento dos agentes, possibilitando um estudo de comparação entre os resultados obtidos ao se realizar uma simulação multiagentes clássica e uma simulação multiagentes contendo emoções. De forma a validar e avaliar seu funcionamento, é apresentado o estudo da aplicação da rede Bayesiana de emoções sobre um modelo multiagentes exemplo, observando as variações que as emoções provocam sobre o comportamento dos agentes.

A constante evolução da tecnologia disponibilizou, atualmente, ferramentas computacionais que eram apenas expectativas há 10 anos atrás. O aumento do potencial computacional aplicado a modelos numéricos que simulam a atmosfera permitiu ampliar o estudo de fenômenos atmosféricos, através do uso de ferramentas de computação de alto desempenho. O trabalho propôs o desenvolvimento de algoritmos com base em arquiteturas SIMT e aplicação de técnicas de paralelismo com uso da ferramenta OpenACC para processamento de dados de previsão numérica do modelo Weather Research and Forecast. Esta proposta tem forte conotação interdisciplinar, buscando a interação entre as áreas de modelagem atmosférica e computação científica. Foram testadas a influência da computação do cálculo de microfísica de nuvens na degradação temporal do modelo. Como a entrada de dados para execução na GPU não era suficientemente grande, o tempo necessário para transferir dados da CPU para a GPU foi maior do que a execução da computação na CPU. Outro fator determinante foi a adição de código CUDA dentro de um contexto MPI, causando assim condições de disputa de recursos entre os processadores, mais uma vez degradando o tempo de execução. A proposta do uso de diretivas para aplicar computação de alto desempenho em uma estrutura CUDA parece muito promissora, mas ainda precisa ser utilizada com muita cautela a fim de produzir bons resultados. A construção de um híbrido MPI + CUDA foi testada, mas os resultados não foram conclusivos.

A teoria de jogos modela estratégias entre agentes (jogadores), os quais possuem recompensas ao fim do jogo conforme suas ações. O melhor par de estratégias para os jogadores constitui uma solução de equilíbrio. Porém, nem sempre se consegue estimar os dados do problema. Diante disso, os parâmetros incertos presentes em modelos de jogos são formalizados pela teoria fuzzy. Assim, a teoria fuzzy auxilia a teoria de jogos, formando jogos fuzzy. Dessa forma, parâmetros, como as recompensas, tornam-se números fuzzy. Mais ainda, quando há incerteza na representação desses números fuzzy utilizam-se os números fuzzy intervalares. Então, neste trabalho modelos de jogos fuzzy intervalares são analisados e métodos computacionais são desenvolvidos para a resolução desses jogos. Por fim, realizam-se simulações de programação linear para observar melhor a aplicação das teorias estudadas e avaliar a proposta.
