Résumé

Water scarcity is one of the problems caused by global industrialization. In developing countries, population increase, rural exodus and environmental degradation are major threats to humanity. Inadequate wastewater treatment is a major concern, as it contributes greatly to the destruction of water resources when discharged into the environment. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, sanitation is not sufficiently developed.

The need for high-resolution 3D imaging of biological tissues is a driving force behind the development of innovative technologies. Among these technologies, microfocus computed tomography (MicroCT) stands out for its exceptional spatial resolution, user-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. While MicroCT excels at providing non-destructive 3D views of tissue samples, it is limited to visualizing dense tissues, such as bone, that strongly interact with X-rays.

In new-generation nuclear reactors, liquid metals are used to cool down the reacting core. Due to the opacity of liquid metals and their harsh operating conditions, a digital design approach based on CFD simulations is useful to study the thermal-hydraulics conditions. Researchers are currently engaged in enhancing the accuracy of Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations to aid the design and licensing with numerical simulations.
