The informality as a catalyst of new developments: In between top-down and bottom-up approaches of urban interventions

"To which extent the scale of the informal settlements could effectively co-exist with the necessity of an affordable mass-housing provision through a top-down intervention?"<br/>The solution proposed will try to integrate the potentialities that these two approaches embrace, during the different steps of the design process, from the urban...

A high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for natural convection problems

Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods have proved to be very well suited for the construction of robust high-order numerical schemes on unstructured and possibly non conforming grids for a wide variety of problems. In this paper we consider natural convection flow problems and present a high-order DG method for their numerical solution. The...

A high-order discontinuous Galerkin solver for 3D aerodynamic turbulent flows

This paper deals with the evaluation and validation of a recently developed parallel discontinuous Galerkin code for the numerical solution of the RANS and k-omega turbulence model equations. The main features of the code can be summarized as follows: a) high-order spatial accuracy on hybrid grids, b) fully coupled, implicit time discretization,...
