There is great consciousness about the need to evaluate technical skills among the engineering courses at the University and many methodologies have been proposed for that. Also, some transversal competences like interpersonal skills, information and communication technology (ICT) literacy, and critical or innovative thinking have received importan...

This paper provides a comprehensive review of uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods and their applications in CFD aerodynamics. The review begins by discussing the various sources of uncertainty in CFD simulations, highlighting their impact on aerodynamic predictions. It then explores a range of UQ methods, including non-probabilistic, probabilis...

The problem of maximizing the range of a propeller-driven aircraft in a level flight cruise is analyzed within the framework of optimal control. The specific fuel consumption and propeller efficiency of its propulsive system are characterized by functions of the velocity and engine power (full model), in contrast to previous works, where they were...

This article presents a methodology for evaluating the susceptibility of landfill areas to develop landslides by analyzing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite products. The deformation velocity of the landfills is computed through the Persistent Scatterer Method on SAR imagery. These data, combined with a deformation model based on the shallow...

This paper presents a path planner solution that makes it possible to autonomously explore underground mines with aerial robots (typically multicopters). In these environments the operations may be limited by many factors like the lack of external navigation signals, the narrow passages and the absence of radio communications. The designed path pla...
