Implementation of conservative schemes in an edge-based finite element code
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn this work a novel edge-based finite element implementation applied to specific equations is presented. It contains a full description on how we obtained it for the diffusion equation, stabilized convection-diffusion ... -
Analysis of viscoelastic cell structures with dynamic topology
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-06-29)
Minor thesis / Master thesis
Open Access[ANGLÈS] The present work proposes a way to model cell cytoskeleton using truss systems. This allows large deformations and rotations to be handled in a natural way. With this intention a framework has been developed ... -
Modeling Thermal Turbulence Using Implicit Large Eddy Simulation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-06-29)
Master thesis
Open AccessA general description of a thermally coupled fluid flow is given by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the heat equation using Boussinesq approximation, whose mathematical structure is much well ... -
An improved X-FEM solution to ensure normal stress continuity for two-phase flow problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-07-29)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn this thesis, starting from the foundations of the Theory of Classical Finite Elements Method, The basic principles of Extended Finite Elements Method (X-FEM) are Explained. Why X-FEM takes place in many applications in ... -
Numerical Approximation of Filtration Processes through Porous Media
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-06-29)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn this thesis, we studied numerical methods for the coupling of free fluid flow with porous medium flow. The free fluid flow is modelled by the Stokes equations while the flow in the porous medium is modelled by Darcy’s ... -
Simultaneous untangling and smoothing of hexahedral meshnes
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-02-05)
Master thesis
Open AccessCurrently, there is not a general method such that any given geometry can generate a mesh with elements of hexahedral type. However, there are several methods used to create the numerical discretization for certain types ... -
Approximation of the inductionless MHD system with finite element techniques
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06-01)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn this work, a stabilized formulation to solve the inductionless magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) problem using the finite element method is presented. The important feature of this formulation resides in the design of the ... -
Numerical simulation of the dynamics of fluid membranes
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2008-07)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe goal of this project is to explore the mechanics of lipid fluid membranes as found in biological and made-man systems through continuum models and numerical simulations. Traditionally, the focus has been on the ...
