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 ...
Valle Marchante, Nicolás (Date of defense: 2021-01-07)
Multiphase flows present a rich variety of physical instabilities, which may turn into a set of interesting techonological features. In the particular case of vertical fallings films, these features ...
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 ...
González Acedo, Ignacio (Date of defense: 2019-04-12)
This thesis presents the development of a parallel finite volume numerical method to analyse thermoelastic and hyperelastic materials and applied problems with mutual interaction between a fluid and a ...
Pont Vilchez, Arnau (Date of defense: 2020-12-17)
The use of hybrid RANS-LES methods has become widespread during the last decade, as an interesting approach for covering the gap between RANS and LES turbulence models in terms of both computational ...
