An advection velocity correction scheme for interface tracking using the level-set method
An advection velocity correction (AVC) scheme for interface tracking using the level-set method is presented in this thesis. The key idea is to apply a correction to the interface advection velocity at points adjacent ... -
Aerodynamic Analysis Of Grid Fins Using Analytical And Computational Methods
(2009-07-16)Grid fins (lattice fins) are used as a lifting and control surface for highly manoeuvrable missiles. Grid fins also find their applications for air-launched submunitions. The main advantages are its low hinge moment ... -
Aerodynamics of Nose Mounted Propeller Aircraft
The thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis of a nose-mounted propeller aircraft using the flow solver HiFUN. Unsteady RANS simulations using sliding mesh technology is performed on aircraft with the propeller. The study ... -
Aeroelastic Analysis And Optimization Of Composite Helicopter Rotor With Uncertain Material Properties
(2011-04-06)Incorporating uncertainties in the aeroelastic analysis increases the confidence levels of computational predictions and reduces the need for validation with experimental or flight test data. Helicopter rotor blades, which ... -
Aeroelasticity of Flapping Wings towards Micro Air Vehicle Applications
Studies have revealed that insect like flapping flight can serve as a benchmark in designing Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) owing to its power efficiency and high maneuverability. Primarily envisioned as agents facilitating ... -
Aerosol Absorption And Source Characteristics Over Different Environments
(2010-11-02)Extremely fine liquid droplets or solid particles, those remain suspended in the air, are known as aerosols. They are produced by natural sources and anthropogenic activities. Several types of aerosols produced by different ... -
Ageing associated altered host response to bacterial infection
Chapters in which I have elucidated and elaborately described how senescence alters the cellular response to infection, here I demonstrate how senescence in multiple tissues simultaneously contribute to pathogen spread and ... -
