	PHYS0040-1   Irreversible Thermodynamics Duration :   30h Th Credits/ECTS :   civil engineering in physics, 2nd year 3 civil engineering in physics (programme for "licenciés" in physics sciences), 1st year 3 "licencié" in physical sciences, 2nd year Holder(s) :   Pierre Dauby Language :   Langue française Course contents :   Classical (Onsager-Prigogine) Irreversible Thermodynamics. Coupling of the thermodynamical fluxes and forces Direct effects : viscosity, Fourier's, Fick's, Ohm's laws Crossed effects: thermodiffusion, thermoelectricity Self-organization far from equilibrium Notion of stability of a flow, transitions in fluids Thermoconvective instability (Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni instability), linear and non linear approaches, self-organization in fluids, competition between different geometrical patterns Genericity of self-organization phenomena Reaction-diffusion equations : application in chemistry (Belousov-Zhabotinsky), Turing instability, morphogenesis Course objective :   Study of Classical Irreversible Thermodynamics as developped by Onsager and Prigogine. Analysis of some systems showing self-organization far from equilibrium. Contacts :   Pierre C. DAUBY, Chargé de cours Institut de Physique (local 2/57), Bât.
