Large-scale tree-based unfitted finite elements for metal additive manufacturing
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-07)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis addresses large-scale numerical simulations of partial differential equations posed on evolving geometries. Our target application is the simulation of metal additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) with powder-bed ... -
Coastal risk forecast system : fostering proactive management at the Catalan coast
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-07-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe action of sea storms is one of the most complex littoral processes with deep management implications. Along the Catalan shoreline which is about 700 km long, 190 km are subject to erosion and/or flooding. Around one ... -
Finite calculus. A stabilized finite element method for solving the Navier-Stokes equations. Application to ocean turbulence
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-09-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessOcean turbulence is a classic example of turbulent motion and observations of turbulence in the ocean lack in regions of complex topography since in-situ and experimental data are complicated to obtain. As a result, ocean ... -

Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe doctoral thesis "Innovative mathematical and numerical models for studying the deformation of shells during industrial forming processes with the Finite Element Method" aims to contribute to the development of finite ... -
High-order hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin formulation and implicit Runge-Kutta schemes for multiphase flow through porous media
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis dissertation presents high-order hybridisable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) formulations coupled with implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) methods for the simulation of one-phase flow and two-phase flow problems. High-order-methods ... -
Stabilized reduced order models for low speed flows
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-03-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presents the a stabilized projection-based Reduced Order Model (ROM) formulation in low speed fluid flows using a Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) approach. To develop this formulation we use a Finite Element (FE) ... -
Technical-economic analysis, modeling and optimization of floating offshore wind farms
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-03-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe offshore wind sector has grown significantly during the last decades driven by the increasing demand for clean energy and to reach defined energy targets based on renewable energies. As the wind speeds tend to be faster ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-01-30)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis aims to develop a High-Performance Computing implementation to solve large composite materials problems through the use of the FE2 multi-scale method. Previous works have not been able to scale the FE2 strategy ... -
Modeling present and future freeway management strategies : variable speed limits, lane-changing and platooning of connected autonomous vehicles
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10-29)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessFreeway traffic management is necessary to improve capacity and reduce congestion, especially in metropolitan freeways where the rush period lasts several hours per day. Traffic congestion implies delays and an increase ... -
Decision analysis under uncertainity for sustainable development
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10-31)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessPolicy-making for sustainable development becomes more efficient when it is reliably backed by evidence-based decision analysis. Concretely, this is crucial in the planning of public services delivery. By translating "raw" ... -
Monotonicity-preserving finite element methods for hyperbolic problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-12-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis covers the development of monotonicity preserving finite element methods for hyperbolic problems. In particular, scalar convection-diffusion and Euler equations are used as model problems for the discussion in ... -
Identifying and managing hotspots to extreme events : application to NW Mediterranean conditions
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-11-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe impact of coastal storms is one of the costliest forms of natural disaster, as it affects a particularly valuable fringe both from the socioeconomic and ecologic perspectives. In addition, storm-induced erosion and ...
