Wave problems are often encountered in several fields of physics. Acoustic, electromagnetic, seismology and mechanical waves in solids or fluids, inter alia. These problems can be solved using their harmonic solutions that correspond to solutions subjected to harmonic excitations. Using a finite element method, a fairly fine mesh needs to be used to properly represent the wave behavior. In a three-dimensional problem, this can lead to a significant number of complex unknowns, especially at high frequencies. Thus, using direct sparse solvers is not suitable for these kinds of problems, while iterative solvers converge slowly or worse, diverge. Domain decomposition methods such are used to overcome this problem. This work analyses the Schwarz domain decomposition method, presents a partitioning tool used to automatically create partitioned meshes and applies the method to geophysical wave.

The purpose of this thesis is to simulate an iso-speed regulation of a rotating compressor test bed using an electrical machine. Actually, the compressor absorbs power depending to the rotating speed. But the valve closure percentage for the inlet or outlet may change the braking torque. It is mainly about the dynamic functionning of electrical drivers and specifically the induction machine. It contains several control techniques and simulations to choose the most appropriated regulation for this application.

Marine ice sheets are characterized by a high degree of complexity. Some underlying physical processes can feedback on each other and cause the system to exhibit irreversible bifurcations known as Marine Ice Sheet Instabilities. These are mainly controlled by geometrical features of bedrock in the transition zone between the grounded ice sheet and the floating ice shelf. Efficient and accurate numerical methods are needed to make reliable predictions of such complex systems. In this work we study numerical methods based on variational formulations for the solution of essential ice sheet models. We carry out our study by applying these numerical methods to a simple marine ice sheet model. It describes the evolution of a fast sliding marine ice sheet coupled with a floating ice shelf by means of a non-linear transport equation for the ice thickness coupled to a non-linear p-Laplace equation. The vertical equilibrium of the marine ice sheet is formulated as a unilateral contact problem and reformulated as a saddle point problem. It allows to draw from efficient numerical methods originating from frictional contact mechanics. A Mortar Finite Element discretization was employed and a semi-smooth Newton algorithm was constructed. It was shown that the segment per segment integration approach was capable of taking subgrid sized rugosity of the bedrock into account up to some extend. The methods presented in this work are not restricted to marine ice sheets. They are rather general and could be employed in other domains of computational physics as well.
