El contenido de la tesis que se presenta se ha organizado de la manera siguiente:A lo largo del capítulo 2 se describen los aspectos generales del estado del arte del análisis de sensibilidad, centrándose en las principales ...
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 technique to address ...
We present three new stabilized finite element (FE) based Petrov-Galerkin methods for the convection-diffusionreaction
(CDR), the Helmholtz and the Stokes problems, respectively. The work embarks upon a priori analysis ...
Although laminated materials have been used for decades, their employment has increased nowadays in the last years as a result of the gained confidence of the industry on these materials. This has provided the scientific ...
La predicción precisa de los efectos producidos por el acoplamiento fluido estructura para cuerpos parcial o totalmente sumergidos, incluyendo superficies libres, es un problema de gran relevancia en la ingeniería naval ...
The world of computing simulation has experienced great progresses in recent years and requires more exigent multidisciplinary challenges to satisfy the new upcoming demands. Increasing the importance of solving ...
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 complex and dynamic ...
