Efficient models for building acoustics : combining deterministic and statistical methods 

    Díaz Cereceda, Cristina (Date of defense: 2013-11-15)

    Modelling vibroacoustic problems in the field of building design is a challenging problem due to the large size of the domains and the wide frequency range required by regulations. Standard numerical techniques, for instance ...

    Engineering patterns of wrinkles and bubbles in supported graphene through modeling and simulation 

    Zhang, Kuang (Date of defense: 2015-06-10)

    Graphene deposited on a substrate often exhibits out-of-plane deformations with different features and origins. Networks of localized wrinkles have been observed in graphene synthesized through CVD, as a result of compressive ...

    Shape dynamics and lipid hydrodynamics of bilayer membranes: modeling, simulation and experiments 

    Rahmi, Mohammad (Date of defense: 2013-04-09)

    Biological membranes are continuously brought out of equilibrium, as they shape organelles, package and transport cargo, or respond to external actions. The dynamics of lipid membranes are very complex due to the tight ...

    Shock capturing for discontinuous Galerkin methods 

    Casoni Rero, Eva (Date of defense: 2011-10-14)

    Aquesta tesi doctoral proposa formulacions de Galerkin Discontinu (DG) d’alt ordre per la captura de shocks, obtenint alhora solucions altament precises per problemes de flux compressible. En les últimes dècades, la ...
