    We present a procedure for coupling the fluid and transport equations to model the distribution of a pollutant in a street canyon, in this case, black carbon (BC). The fluid flow is calculated with a stabilized finite ...
  • Numerical simulation of particle impact drilling (PID) systems: a one-way coupled approach 

    Casas González, Guillermo; Pouplana Sarda, Ignasi de; Gandikota, Varadaraju; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (Springer, 2022-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    A numerical technique based on a CFD-DEM method is presented for the analysis of particle impact drilling (PID) systems. The method is built from a preexisting finite element Navier–Stokes solver for the fluid phase and a ...

    Article
    Open Access
    The aim of this paper is to present a Lagrangian formulation for thermo-coupled fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems and to show its applicability to the simulation of hypothetical scenarios of a nuclear core melt ...
  • Novel seismic design solution for underground structures. Case study of a 2-story 3-bay subway station 

    Bu, Xiangbo; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto; López Almansa, Francisco (Elsevier, 2022-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    This paper proposes an innovative seismic design approach for shallow rectangular cut-and-cover underground subway or railway stations. The traditional approach is to design rigid frame-like structures by connecting rigidly ...
  • Factors influencing Safety on Construction Projects (fSCPs): types and categories 

    Muñoz La Rivera, Felipe; Mora Serrano, Javier; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (2021-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    Due to the fact of activity, environment and work dynamics, the construction industry is characterised by high accident rates. Different initiatives have emerged to reduce these figures, which focus on using new methodologies ...
