Durant els darrers quaranta anys la geometria diferencial ha estat una eina fonamental per entendre la teoria de control òptim. Habitualment la millor estratègia per resoldre un problema és transformar-lo ...
Chrysokentis, Georgios (Date of defense: 2019-04-03)
This thesis develops a large eddy simulation framework for engineering applications using the finite element method. It focuses on the numerical formulation, the wall modelling approach as well as the ...
Gatti, Francesca (Date of defense: 2021-03-19)
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the field of rational numbers and let f be the corresponding newform of weight 2. Let g,h be two weight one newforms whose nebentype characters are mutually ...
Muixí Ballonga, Alba (Date of defense: 2020-11-30)
This thesis proposes a new computational model for the efficient simulation of crack propagation, through the combination of a phase-field model in small subdomains around crack tips and a discontinuous ...
Córdoba Pañella, Paula (Date of defense: 2022-04-22)
This thesis aims at improving the convergence of iterative solvers, used for algebraic systems coming from the discretization of partial differential equations (PDE), in the context of large scale ...
Calvo Schwarzwälder, Marc (Date of defense: 2019-07-12)
For 200 years, Fourier’s law has been used to describe heat transfer with excellent results. However, as technology advances, more and more situations arise where heat conduction is not well described ...
Schaefer, Rodrigo Gonçalves (Date of defense: 2018-07-11)
In Chapters 1 and 2 of this thesis, we prove that for any non-trivial perturbation depending on any two independent harmonics of a pendulum and a rotor there is global instability. The proof is based ...
