Pouplana, I. de (Ignasi de) (Date of defense: 2018-01-25)
The objective of this thesis is the derivation and implementation of a robust Finite Element formulation for the solution of solid-pore fluid coupled problems in multi-fractured porous media. A coupled ...
Casas González, Guillermo (Date of defense: 2018-10-30)
In this work we study the numerical simulation of particle-laden fluids, with a focus on Newtonian fluids and spherical, rigid particles. We are thus dealing with a multi-phase (more precisely, a ...
Ortega, E. (Enrique) (Date of defense: 2014-05-12)
This work deals with the development and application of the Finite Point Method (FPM) to compressible aerodynamics problems. The research focuses mainly on investigating the capabilities of the meshless ...
Iaconeta, Ilaria (Date of defense: 2019-11-29)
Bulk handling, transport and processing of granular materials and powders are fundamental operations in a wide range of industrial processes and geophysical phenomena. Particulate materials, which can ...
Cotela Dalmau, Jordi (Date of defense: 2016-01-15)
This thesis explores the use of stabilized finite element formulations for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to simulate turbulent flow problems. Turbulence is a challenging problem due to its ...
