This work focuses on the development of a high-performance application for CFD simulations using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), an efficient and highly parallelizable computational approach based on the Boltzmann Kinetic The ory. LBM is particularly well-suited for parallelization on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), offering significant advantages in terms of performance and scalability. The application was implemented in the Rust programming language and employs the OpenCL framework to leverage computational parallelism. This dissertation presents the theoretical foundation of the method, the development process of the proposed library, the validation of results, and the performance analysis across different simula tion scenarios. The results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed approach, while also paving the way for future optimizations and applications in more complex and diverse fluid dynamics contexts

Previous research identifies that, in systems with strong magnetic fields, dissipation through electromagnetic emission may also play a significant role in orbital evolution. We analyzed this contribution to the orbital dynamics of white dwarf binary systems and estimated possible magnetic field values using the Unipolar Inductor Model, adapted to stellar binary systems. The method involved selecting three ultracompact detached binary systems with short orbital periods: ZTF J2243+5242 (8.8 minutes), PTF J2322+0509 (20.0 minutes), and PTF J0533+0209 (20.6 minutes), all of which have observational data cataloged in the literature. The model construction and reproduction of the results were carried out using Python. The results indicate that, under specific magnetic field conditions (starting from 106 G), the contribution of electromagnetic emission has a significant impact on orbital dynamics, with direct implications for the calibration of detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). These f indings underscore the importance of considering multiple dissipative mechanisms to better understand and model the orbital dynamics of compact binary systems.
- ItemCaracterização de produtos de complexação furazolidona/β-ciclodextrina(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-03-31) Robran, Lukas Eller; Miguel Ângelo Schettino Junior; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7903-9041; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3366999814625339; Freitas, Jair Carlos Checon de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4474-2474; https://orcid.org/0009-0002-3683-9767; Lopes, Thierry Ramos; Villanova, Janaina Cecília Oliveira; Scopel, Wanderlã LuisCyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides used in the formation of inclusion complexes. For these, hydrophobic molecules are included in the cavity of cyclodextrins, as a pharmacotechnical strategy to get around issues such as low water solubility, and low active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) stability. This characteristic is of extreme importance for the pharmaceutical industry, due to the improvement of drug bioavailability. Furazolidone is an antimicrobial and antiprotozoal API that has been withdrawn from use in humans in Brazil thanks to its toxicity. However, the API has been the subject of studies in the attempt to reposition its use in humans and animals, including as a leshmanicidal agent, contributing to fight this neglected disease endemic in low wage populations. Unfortunately, its insolubility in water causes low bioavailability. This problem motivates the study of its complexation with cyclodextrins, something not yet widely studied for this drug. Works of this kind are relevant due to being in line with Sustainable Development Goal 3 from the United Nations 2030 Agenda. In this study, different mixtures of β-cyclodextrin and furazolidone were prepared by kneading, dyalisis followed by freeze-drying, stove drying and physical mixture. The prepared mixtures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to check for changes in physical, chemical or strucutral features caused by different preparation procedures. Some evidence for these modifications was observed, such as furazolidone melting peak reduction and variations of cristallinity of both compounds. The lattice parameters obtained with X-ray diffraction showed no significant changes for the different mixtures, and the diffraction peaks have noticeable changes in intensity. Differential thermal analysis showed the amount of crystalline furazolidone melting was reduced in kneaded and stove-dried mixtures. Solid-state 1H and 13C NMR analysis revealed reduction in 1H spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) and 1H spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame (T1ρ). However those values were still significantly distinct for β-ciclodextrin and furazolidone, indicating possible immiscibility of the these components at the molecular level and that an inclusion complex was not formed.
- ItemOndas gravitacionais em modelos cosmológicos: isotrópicos e anisotrópicos(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-04-22) Viana, Luar Samir Oliveira; Gonçalves, Vitorino de Borba; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8570-9750; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4992784379693871; Oliveira Neto, Gil de; Alvarenga, Flavio Gimenes; Rodrigues, Davi CabralGravitational waves of cosmological origin are currently one of the most promising channels for probing the early universe. While homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models are extensively employed to describe the gravitational backgrounds through which gravitational radiation propagates, anisotropic models can account for certain phenomena not predicted by the standard model, such as specific anomalies observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Therefore, in this dissertation, we analyze the theoretical formulation of gravitational waves within both the isotropic FLRW model and the anisotropic Bianchi type I model. To this end, we initially adopt the gauge-dependent classical approach of cosmological perturbation theory. The issue of gauge fixing is given special attention, and we find that the commonly used synchronous, transverse, and traceless gauges, which are widely employed in the isotropic case, are no longer mutually compatible in the anisotropic scenario, even though the longitudinal components of gravitational waves have no physical significance, as demonstrated throughout this work. Consequently, the two irreducible, decoupled polarization modes typical of gravitational waves can no longer be obtained solely through a gauge analysis, and the resulting wave equations are coupled. In light of this, we employ the gauge-invariant formalism for a comprehensive physical analysis and interpretation, from which we derive the two polarization modes, for all possible wave vector configuration, and obtain analytical solutions to the wave equations for various particular cases. Ultimately, we believe this work provides a relevant analysis of the gauge issue, given the existing discrepancies in the specialized literature.

BPS kinks are topological solitons in 1+1 dimensions that connect different vacua of a potential and minimize the energy of the system, satisfying simplified first-order equations. We examine how the curvature of AdS space influences the properties and asymptotic behavior of BPS kinks, the stability of these solutions, and the condition of minimum energy. The work is divided into chapters that cover the fundamentals of solitons in Minkowski spacetime, the construction of BPS solutions in AdS, and applications to the ϕ4 model
