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 ...
Papakokkinos, Giorgos (Date of defense: 2021-05-03)
Environmental concerns regarding climate change and ozone depletion urge for a paradigm shift in the cooling production. The cooling demand exhibits an alarmingly increasing trend, thus its satisfaction ...
Schillaci, Eugenio (Date of defense: 2017-12-11)
The present thesis focuses on the numerical analysis of some diverse physical set-up that involve the interaction of two -or three immiscible and incompressible phases. The simulations are carried out ...
