This thesis describes the extension of the Finite Element Method with zero-thickness interface elements (FEM+z) to 3D, large and complex problems in geomaterials, with special interest in petroleum ...
Verdugo Rojano, Francesc (Date of defense: 2013-10-15)
The finite element method is a valuable tool for simulating complex physical phenomena. However, any finite element based simulation has an intrinsic amount of error with respect to the exact solution ...
Zorrilla Martínez, Rubén (Date of defense: 2020-09-21)
This thesis develops a numerical tool (the Virtual Wind Tunnel, VWT) for the resolution of problems involving fluid flow around structures. Due to the limitations that traditional methods may have in ...
Castañar Pérez, Inocencio (Date of defense: 2023-07-24)
(English) Topology optimization of incompressible structures, in which the loads on the structure come from the stresses exerted by a surrounding fluid, is a highly complex problem. This work presents ...
