Influence thermique de l’emplacement du toit en chaume sous le toit en tôle d’un habitat à Antananarivo- Madagascar

Une technique de rafraîchissement thermique du grenier d’une maison à Antananarivo (Madagascar) a été étudiée pendant la période chaude ethumide. Ventilation du grenier ou isolation du toit en tôle a été envisagée. La température de l’air dans le grenier a été déterminée pendant 24 heures en prenant le jour du 21 janvier pour chacune de ces deux techniques. Au maximum, une diminution de 2,5°C pour la ventilation et une diminution de température de 16°C pour l’isolation par le chaume ont été obtenues. C’est l’isolation du toit en tôle par un isolant qui est la meilleure technique de rafraîchissement.Mots-clés : Maison, ventilation, isolation, rafraîchissement, Madagascar

WKB analysis for nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations with potential

We justify the WKB analysis for the semiclassical nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a subquadratic potential. This concerns subcritical, critical, and supercritical cases as far as the geometrical optics method is concerned. In the supercritical case, this extends a previous result by E. Grenier; we also have to restrict to nonlinearities which are defocusing and cubic at the origin, but besides subquadratic potentials, we consider initial phases which may be unbounded. For this, we construct solutions for some compressible Euler equations with unbounded source term and unbounded initial velocity.Comment: 25 pages, 11pt, a4.

On dispersive effect of the Coriolis force for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

The dispersive effect of the Coriolis force for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations is investigated. The effect is of a different nature than the one shown for the non-stationary case by J. Y. Chemin, B. Desjardins, I. Gallagher and E. Grenier. Existence of a unique solution is shown for arbitrary large external force provided the Coriolis force is large enough. The analysis is carried out in a new framework of the Fourier-Besov spaces. In addition to the stationary case counterparts of several classical results for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes problem have been proven
