      The multiple markers unstructured conservative level-set method for two-phase flow with variable surface tension is applied in the Direct Numerical Simulation of thermocapillary-migration of a bi-dispersed suspension of ...
    • Experimental and theoretical study of the capillary effect on the mechanical behaviour of granular media 

      Moure i Foraster, Carla (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-06-29)
      Tesina
      Accés obert
      [ANGLÈS] Effective stress in unsaturated soils has never been physically or mathematically defined. It is still the topic in large discussions and debates in the soil mechanics community. We therefore tried to obtain a ...
    • Modeling capillarity and two-phase flow in granular media: from porescale to network scale 

      Puig Montellà, Eduard (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-16)
      Tesi
      Accés obert
      Numerical simulations at the pore scale are a way to study the behavior of multiphase flows encountered in many natural processes and industrial applications. In this work, liquid morphology and capillary action are examined ...
    • Multilevel passive microfluidics for electrochemical biosensors

      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Herein, we present a proof-of-concept 3D (multilevel) passive microfluidic device for point-of-care applications including electrochemical biosensors. Multiphase flow (air-water interface) within multilevel microchannels ...
    • Numerical simulation of non-adiabatic capillary tubes. Special emphasis on the near-saturation zone 

      Ablanque Mejía, Nicolás; Oliet Casasayas, Carles; Rigola Serrano, Joaquim; Oliva Llena, Asensio (Elsevier, 2015-04-15)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The aim of this article is to present a distributed numerical model that simulates the thermal and fluid-dynamic phenomena inside non-adiabatic capillary tubes. The resolution approach is based on a two-phase flow model ...

      Basándose en la experiencia acumulada sobre la viabilidad de la utilización del agua marina como aporte subterráneo de humedad y nutrientes mediante irrigación por capilaridad, se propone un medio filtrante formado ...
    • Passive sedimentation control in containers using Marangoni forces 

      Arias Montenegro, Francisco Javier (2020-11)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      In this work consideration is given to a passive sedimentation control mechanism driven by Marangoni stress which is induced in enclosed geometries when their walls are deliberately lined with air-filled (or inert gas ...
    • Traditional gypsum pavements with natural additives 

      González Sánchez, Belén; Navarro Ezquerra, Antonia; Ramírez-Casas, J.; Rosell Amigó, Juan Ramón (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2021)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      In traditional architecture, the construction systems used have always been linked to the material resources of the environment. In the areas of extraction of gypsum in the Iberian Peninsula, the use of this material as a ...
