Cardoso Nungaray, Víctor Eduardo (Date of defense: 2018-04-27)
This thesis presents a proposal to simulate mechanics and dynamics of brittle fracture. A variational formulation is used to describe Lagrangian mechanics, by minimizing the difference between potential ...
Gutiérrez Álvarez, Enrique (Date of defense: 2018-07-17)
CFD techniques are important tools for the study of multiphase flows, because most of the physical phenomena of these flows often happen on space and time scales where experimental methodologies are ...
Baez Vidal, Aleix (Date of defense: 2019-01-10)
The present thesis investigates how explicit filters can be useful in numerical simulations of turbulent, compressible flow with symmetry preserving discretizations. Such explicit filters provide stability ...
Bartrons Casademont, Eduard (Date of defense: 2018-10-05)
The present thesis aims at developing a basis for the numerical simulation of the growth and densification of macroscopic frost sheets. Notwithstanding the fact that icing has still a long way to fully ...
Roca Cazorla, David (Date of defense: 2020-09-07)
The notion of metamaterials as artificially engineered structures designed to obtain specific material properties, typically unachievable in naturally occurring materials, has captured the attention of ...
Amani, Ahmad (Date of defense: 2019-07-24)
The complex nature of multiphase flows, particularly in the presence of non-Newtonian rheologies in the phases, limits the applicability of theoretical analysis of physical equations as well as setting ...
Antepara Zambrano, Oscar Luis (Date of defense: 2019-01-10)
The main objective of this thesis is the development of an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithm for computational fluid dynamics simulations using hexahedral and tetrahedral meshes. This numerical ...
Samaniego Alvarado, Cristóbal (Date of defense: 2015-12-14)
This thesis is based on the implementation of a computational system to numerically simulate the interaction between a fluid and an arbitrary number of rigid bodies. This implementation was performed ...
Naseri, Alireza (Date of defense: 2019-07-22)
This thesis is dedicated to developing numerical methods to solve fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. FSI features in a vast range of physical systems and has a wide application in engineering. The ...
Pont Ribas, Arnau (Date of defense: 2018-02-23)
The solution of the human phonation problem applying computational mechanics is covered by several research branches, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), biomechanics or acoustics, among others. ...
