Due to the increasing interest in space exploration, management of two-phase flows in the absence of gravity has become a key aspect in improving the efficiency of technological applications for space missions. Understanding ...
The study of crystalline materials has played a prominent role in solid state physics, whose basic theories were formulated for crystalline matter. However, disordered materials are more abundant in nature than crystalline ...
(English) The Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) aims at maintaining the forecast traffic demand below the estimated capacity in airports and airspace sectors. The purpose is to maintain the workload of the ...
The advances in computing power have motivated the hope that computational methods can accelerate the pace of drug discovery pipelines. For this, fast, reliable and user-friendly tools are required. One of the fields that ...
Metallic glasses are amorphous solids produced by rapid cooling, with disordered atomic structure and lacking long-range order. This structural disorder makes them to show mechanical properties different from those observed ...
Planetary nebulae play a very important role in the chemical evolution of galaxies since they are responsible for returning nuclear-processed material to the interstellar medium. Observations of planetary nebulae are used ...
The combined use of thermal-hydraulics system with sub-channel codes (TH-TH coupling) in transient analysis provides an integrated tool with the capability of modelling in detail both the core thermal-hydraulic conditions ...
Turbulence is one of the major concerns for most technological problems involving fluid motion. Specially in aeronautics, a turbulent boundary layer results in structural stresses, vibrations and higher aircraft drag, ...
With the double pass (DP) technique it is possible to quantify the optical quality of a patient's eye by measuring its point spread function. Due to the low reflectivity of the retina a high-intensity, point-like illumination ...
The present Thesis is devoted to the study of the physical-chemical properties of selected small-molecules (such as amino-acids like tryptophan or hormones like melatonin) and proteins (such as KRAS-4B) absorbed in model ...
This PhD thesis provides a fast engineering approach to the design of digital predistortion (DPD) linearizers from several perspectives: i) enhancing the off-line training performance of open-loop DPD, ii) providing ...
Synthetic jets are produced by the oscillatory movement of a membrane inside a cavity, causing fluid to enter and leave through a small orifice. This results in a net jet that is able to transfer kinetic energy and momentum ...
The underlying topic of this thesis is the study of the application of the Force Matching (FM) algorithm to parameterize ion-water Force Fields using ab-initio simulations as reference. In order to do so three different ...
(English) The characterization of Clock and Ephemeris error of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems is a key element to validate the assumptions for the integrity analysis of GNSS Safety of Life (SoL) applications. ...
The research of this paper-based dissertation is focused on Global Ionospheric Maps (GIM) generation and assessment. In summary, the novelty and thematic unity in this works relies on four different but complementary topics: ...
The research of this paper-based dissertation is focused on the Global Ionospheric Maps (GIMs) based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including real-time combination, validation, time resolution and applications. ...
Disordered systems are abundant in everyday life and so their study is of importance from a scientific and a technological point of view. The most common non-crystalline solid phases are structural glasses (e.g. window ...
(English) This thesis focuses on modeling the circulation of liquid metal through the breeding blanket channels of a tokamak fusion reactor. Apart from extracting the heat produced by the nuclear reactions of the plasma, ...
(English) In the transition to net-zero carbon emission technologies, turbulent combustion is expected to retain an important role in various applications. In particular, the aviation industry is projected to widely adapt ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an essential tool for engineering design and analysis, especially in applications like aerospace, automotive and energy industries. Nowadays most commercial codes are based on Finite ...
