Se propone un modelo general de amortiguador hidráulico (monotubo y de doble tubo) para automóvil tipo turismo a partir de las propiedades físicas y geométricas de las partes que lo componen con el fin de predecir el ...
Baez Vidal, Aleix (Date of defense: 2019-01-10)
The present thesis investigates how explicit filters can be useful in numerical simulations of turbulent, compressible flow with symmetry preserving discretizations. Such explicit filters provide stability to simulations ...
Dabbagh, Firas (Date of defense: 2017-09-06)
Without fluid turbulence, life might have rather different look. The atmosphere and oceans could nearly maintain a much larger temperature differences resulting in ultimate heating or cooling to the earth surface. The water ...
Faggembauu, Débora (Date of defense: 2006-12-19)
Una proporción muy importante del presupuesto energético total de los países europeos es destinado al consumo energético del sector de la edificación, tanto en el ámbito doméstico como terciario. Debido a que esta tendencia ...
