In certain industry areas, such as the automotive, aerospace, energy, chemistry and civil engineering sectors, detailed knowledge of complex phenomena related to mass transfer (fluid mechanics) and energy transfer (thermal management, heat transfer) is essential for the design, development and optimization of systems that can be implemented in products related to these industries. Some examples of applications are listed below:
  • Aerospace. More efficient and less polluting aircraft. Optimization of the propulsion system, auxiliary systems and components (APU, ECS, flight control systems...), and external aerodynamics.
  • Automotive. Adaptation of the vehicle fleet to future anti-pollution regulations. Development of new combustion systems in reciprocating engines, hybridization, batteries and thermal management, and post-treatment of exhaust gases.
  • Energy. Optimization of wind turbines, solar farms, and new power generation systems (hydrogen).
  • Civil engineering. Structure optimization.
Knowledge and research in all these areas make a contribution to the fulfilment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which are primarily aimed at the eradication of poverty and the protection of the planet.
The techniques for analysing these phenomena can be experimental or theoretical. The experimental techniques allow us to know the phenomena directly by determining the different variables with the corresponding measurement techniques in physical models or scale systems that represent the real system. However, the amount of information available may be limited and insufficient and, furthermore, the economic cost of certain experimental techniques is very high.
