(English) The recent developments in hydraulic machinery will increase the possibility of damage resulting from cavitation and/or vortex-induced vibrations. Yet, many researchers have shed light on the vortex street flow ...
Climate change is a hot research topic due to the consequent impacts on our environment in the near future. The last report of the International Panel on Climate Change' the leading international body for assessment of ...
(English) This PhD thesis is framed in the European Research Council starting grant project "Atmospheric Pressure plasma meets biomaterials far bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)". The APACHE project is focused on the design of ...
The aim of this Ph.D. thesis, "Effects of flow control on flow past bluff bodies" is to study and analyzes the effects of Flow Control on various aspects and proverbs of flow past bluff bodies. Flow control techniques are ...
Cada any milers d'hectàrees forestals es destrueixen a causa dels incendis forestals. Investigar quins són els mecanismes que controlen la ignició i la propagació dels incendis forestals és necessari per planificar estratègies ...
This PhD thesis investigated the incorporation of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (POSS) in thermoplastic base materials via melt-blending procedures. Particularly, a focus is taken on the enhancement of the thermal ...
Due to the increasing interest in space exploration, management of two-phase flows in the absence of gravity has become a key aspect in improving the efficiency of technological applications for space missions. Understanding ...
Network monitoring has become a necessity to aid in the management and operation of large networks. Passive network monitoring consists of extracting metrics (or any information of interest) by analyzing the traffic that ...
Nowadays there is great demand for realistic simulations in the computer graphics field. Physically-based animations are commonly used, and one of the more complex problems in this field is fluid simulation, more so if ...
La visión por computador y más específicamente el reconocimiento de objetos han demostrado en los últimos años un impresionante progreso que ha llevado a la aparición de nuevas y útiles tecnologías que facilitan nuestras ...
One of the outstanding milestones achieved in recent years in the field of biotechnology research has been the development of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Due to the fact that at the moment it is technically impossible ...
The present thesis incorporates the CAD model into an adjoint-based optimization loop and uses it for the shape optimization of a 2D transonic turbine blade mid-section (profile). This is demonstrated by performing a single ...
Concrete is a complex material and can be modeled on various spatial and temporal scales. While simulations on coarse scales are practical for engineering applications, a deeper understanding of the material is gained on ...
(English) Over the past decade, significant progresses in the field of artificial intelligence have led to remarkable advancements in a wide range of technologies. Deep learning, a subfield of machine learning centered ...
Nowadays, we are reaching a point where further improving single thread performance can only be done at the expenses of significantly increasing power consumption. Thus, multi-core chips have been adopted by the industry ...
Modelling vibroacoustic problems in the field of building design is a challenging problem due to the large size of the domains and the wide frequency range required by regulations. Standard numerical techniques, for instance ...
The exploration of the dynamics of bioinspired neural networks has allowed neuroscientists to understand some clues and structures of the brain. Electronic neural network implementations are useful tools for this exploration. ...
Nowadays clusters are one of the most used platforms in High Performance Computing and most programmers use the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library to program their applications in these distributed platforms getting ...
The growth of population density in some areas of the planet and the increasing fast advances in technology and energy issues, have resulted in a remarkable increment in the necessity for goods and services, with a subsequent ...
The explosion in data traffic, the physical resource constraints, and the insufficient financial incentives for deploying 5G networks, stress the need for a paradigm shift in network upgrades. Typically, operators are also ...
