The modelling of convective transport processes involving heat and mass transfer in an incompressible Newtonian fluid in cylindrical domains is a relevant research subject both for theoretical research and for industry. ...
The brain is a complex organ whose activity spans multiple scales, both spatial and temporal. The computational unit of the brain is thought to be the neurone. At the microscopic level, neurones communicate via action ...
The aim of this thesis is to study, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, the behaviour of two molecular models at different temperatures, approaching the glass transition. One of them mimics methanol molecules, ...
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is often used to explore the relaxation dynamics of metallic glasses (MGs). Secondary relaxations in metallic glasses appear as an excess wing, as a shoulder of the primary relaxation peak ...
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 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 ...
The dynamics of the climate system plays a crucial role in the sustainability of life on Earth, and this motivates research to understand and characterise our climate and predict its evolution. In this thesis we focus on ...
(English) Hydrodynamic models are essential for our understanding of the physics of stellar explosions, and specifically, for their potential contribution to the Galactic chemical abundances. In this Work, a one-dimensional ...
As we inhale, the air drawn through our nose undergoes successive accelerations and decelerations as it is turned, split, and recombined before splitting again at the end of the trachea as it enters the bronchi. Fully ...
A microscopic description of the many-body properties of anisotropic homogeneous gases of bosonic dipoles in two dimensions is presented and discussed. By changing the polarization angle with respect to the plane, we study ...
The data revolution experienced by social science has revealed complex patterns of interactions in human dynamics, such as the heterogeneity and burstiness of social contacts. The recently uncovered temporal dimension of ...
(English) Turbulence is not only omnipresent in our daily lives but also in engineering applications. However, not until the middle of the XXth century researchers began to realize that simple, relatively large-scale ...
This thesis explores a very well understood area of physics: computational structural dynamics. The aim is to stretch its boundaries by merging it with another very well established discipline such as structural design and ...
