First we study the evaporation behaviour of sessile salty droplets on inert surfaces for a wide range of salt concentrations, relative humidities, droplet sizes and contact angles. Our study reveals the range of validity of the well-accepted diffusion-controlled evaporation model and highlights the impact of salt concentration (surface tension) gradients driven Marangoni flows on the evaporation behaviour and the subsequent salty deposit patterns. Furthermore we study the spatial-temporal evolution of sessile droplets from saline solutions on metallic surfaces. In contrast to the simple, generally accepted Evans droplet model, we show that the corrosion spreads ahead of the macroscopic contact line with a peripheral film. The three-phase contact line is destabilized by surface tension gradients induced by ionic composition changes during the course of the corrosion process and migration of cations towards the droplet perimeter. Finally we investigate the corrosion behaviour under drying salty sessile droplets on metallic surfaces. The corrosion process, in particular the location of anodic and cathodic activities over the footprint droplet area is correlated to the spatial distribution of the salt inside the drying droplet. N2 - Dans cette thèse, la dynamique d’évaporation de gouttes sessiles de solutions salines sur des surfaces planes inertes et métalliques a été étudiée et le phénomène de corrosion pour les surfaces ferriques caractérisé. En premier lieu, nous nous sommes intéressés à la dynamique d’évaporation de gouttes sessiles salées sur des surfaces inertes pour une large gamme de concentrations en sel, d’humidité relatives, de tailles de goutte et d’angles de contact. Notre étude révèle les domaines de validité du modèle classique d’évaporation, processus contrôlé par la diffusion de la vapeur dans l’air et met en évidence l’impact de flux (de Marangoni) induits par des gradients de concentration (tension de surface) en sel sur la dynamique d’évaporation et les dépôts salins obtenus après évaporation de la goutte. De plus, nous nous sommes consacrés à l’évolution spatio-temporelle de gouttes sessiles de solutions salines sur des surfaces métalliques. Contrairement au modèle simplifié de la goutte d’Evans, nous avons montré que le processus de corrosion s’étend aux abords de la ligne de contact, avec la formation d’un film périphérique. La ligne triple est déstabilisée par des gradients de tension de surface induits par des variations de composition ionique au cours du processus de corrosion et la migration des cations vers la périphérie de la goutte. Enfin nous avons étudié le phénomène de corrosion du métal induit par l’évaporation de gouttes sessiles salées. Le processus de corrosion, en particulier la localisation des réactions anodiques et cathodiques sur la surface métallique en contact avec la goutte est corrélée à la distribution spatiale du sel au sein de la goutte s’évaporant.

This article is aimed at identifying the dominant hydrological processes affecting the kettle holes' water balance and their interactions with the shallow groundwater domain in the Uckermark region, located in the north-east of Germany. For this reason, based on the stable isotopes of oxygen (delta O-18) and hydrogen (delta H-2), an isotopic mass balance model was employed to compute the evaporative loss of water from the kettle holes from February to August 2017. Results demonstrated that shallow groundwater inflow may play the pivotal role in the processes taking part in the hydrology of the kettle holes in the Uckermark region. Based on the calculated evaporation/inflow (E/I) ratios, most of the kettle holes (86.7%) were ascertained to have a partially open, flow-through-dominated system. Moreover, we identified an inverse correlation between E/I ratios and the altitudes of the kettle holes. The same holds for electrical conductivity (EC) and the altitudes of the kettle holes. In accordance with the findings obtained from this study, a conceptual model explaining the interaction between the shallow groundwater and the kettle holes of Uckermark was developed. The model exhibited that across the highest altitudes, the recharge kettle holes are dominant, where a lower ratio of E/I and a lower EC was detected. By contrast, the lowest topographical depressions represent the discharge kettle holes, where a higher ratio of E/I and EC could be identified. The kettle holes existing in between were categorized as flow-through kettle holes through which the recharge takes place from one side and discharge from the other side.
