The cylinder in cross flow has been the subject of many numerical and experimental studies since it provides a deep insight of the physical phenomena occurring in a wide range of flow regimes. Despite a number of investigations ...
This dissertation focuses on determining the vertical electron content distribution in low and high vertical resolution from ground-based and LEO on board GNSS data and improving the knowledge of ionosphere climatology in ...
Turbulence is one of the major concerns for most technological problems involving fluid motion. Specially in aeronautics, a turbulent boundary layer results in structural stresses, vibrations and higher aircraft drag, ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an essential tool for engineering design and analysis, especially in applications like aerospace, automotive and energy industries. Nowadays most commercial codes are based on Finite ...
The simulation and modelling of complex applications involving the interaction of processes governed by different physical principles is addressed in this thesis. The interaction of a fluid with a deformable body, or the ...
(English) Motivated by recent advances in computational technology aiming at exascale capabilities, which implies a need for applications capable of taking advantage of these new supercomputing archit ectures, this work ...
(English) A solar sail is a method of spacecraft propulsion that uses only the solar radiation pressure (SRP). The main research object of this thesis is a solar sail spacecraft in the artificially created libration point ...
