The impact of coastal storms is one of the costliest forms of natural disaster, as it affects a particularly valuable fringe both from the socioeconomic and ecologic perspectives. In addition, storm-induced erosion and ...
Tellez Alvarez, Jackson David (Fecha de defensa: 2019-05-10)
This Doctoral Thesis dissertation concerns two main research topic: the analysis of the flow velocity pattern in the nearness of a grate inlet through Surface Flow Image Velocimetry (SFIV) technique and the study of overflow ...
Seco, Raquel Irene (Fecha de defensa: 2014-12-05)
The accumulation of sediments in combined sewer systems may give rise to significant quality problems, which sometimes are overlooked. Solids deposited in the network may lead to more frequent overflows into natural waters, ...

El primer objetivo de esta tesis es la identificación y análisis de aspectos clave para la gobernanza de los servicios de agua rural en países que adolecen de bajos niveles de cobertura, altos índices de pobreza, se ...
Castro-Alcalá, Eduardo (Fecha de defensa: 2019-05-30)
Tracer visualization in the laboratory at high spatial and temporal resolution can help advance the study of mixing processes. However, grain borders, fluctuations in lighting and non-uniform brightness contribute to produce ...
Colomés Gené, Oriol (Fecha de defensa: 2016-03-31)
In this thesis we have developed a path towards large scale Finite Element simulations of turbulent incompressible flows. We have assessed the performance of residual-based variational multiscale (VMS) methods for the ...
Miranda Neiva, Eric (Fecha de defensa: 2020-10-07)
This thesis addresses large-scale numerical simulations of partial differential equations posed on evolving geometries. Our target application is the simulation of metal additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) with powder-bed ...
Oliver Serra, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2015-11-13)
Air pollution is an important topic with a great social impact; it is related with public health, environment and ecology, and climate change. Scientists have developed several models in the last thirty years, and regional ...
Trapote Barreira, César (Fecha de defensa: 2015-12-16)
This thesis aims to dissert about air transport network design taking into consideration the current needs about efficiency in a very competitive industry. The main focus for this work is the airline's point of view and ...
Cabrera Vélez, Esteban Marcelo (Fecha de defensa: 2023-02-16)
(English) In post-seismic scenarios, the rapid and safe evaluation of structural damage is essential to develop an effective response during the recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction stages. The development of new ...
Barbat Vlad, Gabriel (Fecha de defensa: 2021-02-11)
The numerical modelling of fracture has been an active topic of research for over five decades. Most of the approaches employed rely on the use of the Finite Element Method, which has shown to be an effective and cost-efficient ...
De Gaspari, Francesca (Fecha de defensa: 2015-04-30)
Geochemical and reactive transport modelling are essential tools in hydrogeology. They help to identify and assess geochemical processes occurring in applications such as groundwater contamination, water-rock interactions ...
Nasika, Christina (Fecha de defensa: 2022-06-28)
The latest monitoring and asset management technologies for large infrastructures involve digital representations that integrate information and physical models, exist in parallel to the real-life structures, and are ...
Caro Camargo, Carlos Andrés (Fecha de defensa: 2016-01-25)
Distributed hydrological modeling occurs as a historical consequence of the different developments and advances in conceptual hydrology, first, through deepening and adaptation of hydrology through aggregated methods, and ...
Aragón Hernández, José Luis (Fecha de defensa: 2013-07-02)
El crecimiento continuo de las ciudades, o la ocurrencia de un evento extraordinario de lluvia, en muchas ocasiones sobrepasa las medidas de diseño de algunos de los elementos del drenaje urbano (principalmente elementos ...
Sala Sanmartí, Marcel (Fecha de defensa: 2019-10-29)
Freeway traffic management is necessary to improve capacity and reduce congestion, especially in metropolitan freeways where the rush period lasts several hours per day. Traffic congestion implies delays and an increase ...
