      En la última década se ha despertado un renovado interés en los cohetes híbridos debido a su bajo precio, manejo seguro y compatibilidad con carburantes verdes. Un grupo de estudiantes está desarrollando un cohete híbrido ...
    • Modelling the cardiovascular system: pulsating flow through a collapsible channel 

      Cabanes Bosacoma, Xavier (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-05)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      The interaction between fluid flows and the deformation of solid structures is important in many engineering applications, as in turbochargers, wind turbines or airplane wings. The flow of blood in the body is also an ...
    • Numerical modeling of simple laboratory experiments of rotating flows 

      López Alonso, José Manuel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-02-05)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      Despite the large amount of research which has been conducted on turbulent flows, a full understanding of their dynamics as well as the mechanisms involved in the onset of turbulence is still missing. Experimental studies ...
