Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the local hemodynamic changes caused in a coronary bifurcation by three different stenting techniques: simple stenting [...]

Abstract

Experimental tests in wind tunnels have been traditionally employed as a fundamental tool to evaluate aerodynamic and aeroelastic effects due to wind action on civil engineering structures, such as bridges and slender buildings. In the last decades, due to the versatility presented [...]

Abstract

This study explores architectural design by examining air, fluid mechanics, and the natural ventilation of buildings. In this context, this research introduces a new way of dealing with the process of architectural synthesis. The proposed way can be used either to create new architectural [...]

Abstract

The goal of the air distribution inside a hospital operating room (OR) is to protect the patient and staff from cross-infection while maintaining occupant comfort and not affecting the facilitation of surgical tasks. In ORs, HEPA-filtered air and vertical (downward) laminar airflow [...]

Abstract

This work shows results of the application of computational fluid dynamics on studying the aerodynamics of isolated curved roof buildings, without cladding walls. This type of structures are widely used in Argentine Republic in cities and and country areas, and they could be seen [...]

Abstract

In recent years, the study of computational hemodynamics within anatomically complex vascular regions has generated great interest among clinicians. The progress in computational fluid dynamics, image processing and high-performance computing have allowed us to identify the candidate [...]

Abstract

This Master Thesis is focused on the estimation the hydrodynamic coefficients for Underwater Autonomous Vehicle (AUV) by means of CFD code. First a state of art of AUVs development is presented. Second, the sizing process for AUVs is studied. The main decissions on the design of [...]

Abstract

An aortic dissection (AD) is a serious condition defined by the splitting of the arterial wall, thus generating a secondary lumen [the false lumen (FL)]. Its management, treatment and follow-up are clinical [...]

Abstract

Creating a highly parallelizable code is a challenge specially for Distributed Memory Machines (DMMs). Moreover, algorithms and data structures suitable for these platforms can be very [...]

Abstract

The paper investigates a robust optimisation for detail design of active shock control bump on a transonic Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) aerofoil using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm [...]
