An emerging option for internal hemipelvectomy surgery is custom prosthesis reconstruction. This option typically recapitulates the resected pelvic bony anatomy with the goal of maximizing post-surgery walking function ...

We report computational experience with the use of automatic constraint generation in the case of capacited location problems involving between 10 and 30 plants and up to 50 demand centers. For different types of model ...

Large-scale microalgae cultures grown in photobioreactors are often either light-limited or light-inhibited. Cascading photobioreactors aim at solving this problem by bringing together a high microalgal biomass concentration, ...

Nowadays, lateral mirrors, along with other car components, are in the spotlight of automotive experts, who are trying to modify the geometry of these components so as to reduce the aerodynamic drag and therefore save fuel. ...

Mixing of the algal culture medium in a photobioreactor (PBR) is a crucial factor to enhance microalgae cultivation and production, since it ensures microalgae cells can homogeneously access nutrients and light radiation. ...

Computational fluid dynamics plays an important role in engineering design. To gain insight into solving problems involving complex industrial flows, such as impinging gas-jet systems (IJS), an evaluation of several eddy ...

El entendimiento de los fenómenos de transferencia de calor y de masa en medios porosos implica el estudio de modelos de transporte de fluidos en la fracción vacía del medio; este hecho es de fundamental importancia en ...

Kitesurf is a sport of surfing while holding on to a specially designed kite, using the wind for propulsion. In the field of investigation or kitesurf industry, the kite aerodynamics is a crucial point. This work tries to ...

This thesis is focused on the development of one-phase and multiphase models using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to analyze biosystems behavior at mesoscale. In the first part, the operation of a fixed-bed ...
