Laboratory experiments to evaluate the joint effect between heterogeneity and head fluctuation on mixing, effective porosity and tailing
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-05-30)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTracer visualization in the laboratory at high spatial and temporal resolution can help advance the study of mixing processes. However, grain borders, fluctuations in lighting and non-uniform brightness contribute to produce ... -
Image processing and experimental techniques to characterize the hydraulic performance of grate inlets
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-05-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis Doctoral Thesis dissertation concerns two main research topic: the analysis of the flow velocity pattern in the nearness of a grate inlet through Surface Flow Image Velocimetry (SFIV) technique and the study of overflow ... -
Three-dimensional numerical analysis of flow structure and sediment transport process in open channels
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-05-31)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis research project focuses on the analysis and prediction of flow structures and sediment transport process in open channels by using three-dimensional numerical models. The numerical study was performed using the ... -
Análisis de las variables que inciden en la movilidad en vehículos motorizados de dos ruedas en la ciudad de Barcelona
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-04-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessMOBILITY provides accessibility to people, goods, services and information, favoring the implementation of socio-economic activities. The more efficient mobility becomes, the greater human development and quality of life ... -
Scalable domain decomposition methods for finite element approximations of transient and electromagnetic problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-02-18)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe main object of study of this thesis is the development of scalable and robust solvers based on domain decomposition (DD) methods for the linear systems arising from the finite element (FE) discretization of transient ... -
Experimental characterization of turbulance in steep rough streams
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-02-01)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTorrential flows have so far been studied less than have river flows, due to the difficulty of faithfully reproducing them in the laboratory, and the few field measurements available. For this reason, this present research ... -
Stress monitoring of cylindrical structures using guided waves
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06-29)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presents some approaches for guided wave based stress monitoring as a part of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM systems include different levels, from damage detection to prognosis, however, this work is ... -
Optimization of yard operations in container terminals from an energy efficiency approach
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis Thesis addresses common operational issues related to maritime container terminals. In the last decades, containerization of maritime transportation has grown very rapidly, forcing terminal operators to cope with ... -
Multivariate characterization of wave storms in coastal areas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-05-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessWave-storms are the responsible of the main changes in the Coast. Their detailed characterization results in a better design of any marine structure. The most common approach to describe wave-storms is to simplify the event ... -
A parallel algorithm for deformable contact problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn the field of nonlinear computational solid mechanics, contact problems deal with the deformation of separate bodies which interact when they come in touch. Usually, these problems are formulated as constrained minimization ... -
Previsión de precipitación a muy corto plazo combinando técnicas de extrapolación de datos radar y modelos meteorológicos
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessRainfall nowcasting based on the extrapolation of most recent radar rainfall fields usually shows better skill than NWP models for short lead times, since it benefits from observations of the initial rainfall state. In ... -
Development of mechanism-based models for resistance spot weld failure simulation of multi-material advanced high strength steel sheets
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-12-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe automotive industry is constantly involved in the development of new projects aimed at reducing weight, fuel consumptions and costs while improving passengers' safety. In order to achieve these increasing demands, ...
