Cloud formation in the atmospheric boundary layer
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-09-09)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe representation of cloud formation in weather and climate models remains a challenge, since it involves very complex phenomena such as turbulent mixing, which is key for the ability of clouds to form and dissipate. Thus, ... -
Model Predictive Control (MPC) of quadrotors using LPV techniques
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-13)
Master thesis
Open AccessThis Thesis objective was to apply Model predictive control (MPC) on a quadcopters using linear parameter varying (LPV) techniques. In order to do so the non-linear mathematical model of the quadcopter was put in the Linear ... -

Impact hazard assessment from the automatic detection of meteoric and re-entry fireballs recorded by the SPMN network
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-02-14)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe disruption of asteroids and comets can produce meteoroids that end up impacting the Earth’s atmosphere, creating shock waves or even excavating craters so they generate hazardous scenarios. In this thesis different ... -

Mission analysis for a swarm of femtosatellites to study the lower thermosphere
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-02-14)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe lower thermosphere (between 100 and 250 km) is badly known due to the scarcity of operating satellites in this region. Nevertheless, it is very relevant for the study of Earth-Sun relations, satellite re-entry ... -
Coupling strategies for solving the RANS equations
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-02-14)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und RaumfahrtFor the present work two implicit methods of coupling the compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the one equation Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model have been developed. The first approach, ... -

Quadcopter Dynamics Analysis in Real Life and Simulation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-01-27)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionHelicopters are flying machines equipped with a powerful rotor which pushing air downwards provides the thrust needed to fly. One rotor is not enough to guarantee the control of the helicopter because it would be impossible ... -
