Structural Health Monitoring Of Composite Helicopter Rotor Blades
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-18)
Helicopter rotor system operates in a highly dynamic and unsteady aerodynamic environment leading to severe vibratory loads on the rotor system. Repeated exposure to these severe loading conditions can induce damage in the ...
Experimental And Numerical Studies On Fatigue Crack Growth Of Single And Interacting Multiple Surface Cracks
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-01)
Design based on damage tolerance concepts has become mandatory in high technology structures. These concepts are also essential for evaluating life extension of aged structures which are in service beyond originally ...
Kinetic Flux Vector Splitting Method On Moving Grids (KFMG) For Unsteady Aerodynamics And Aeroelasticity
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-07)
Analysis of unsteady flows is a very challenging topic of research. A decade ago, potential flow equations were used to predict unsteady pressures on oscillating bodies. Recognising the fact that nonlinear aerodynamics is ...
Ultra High Compression For Weather Radar Reflectivity Data
(2007-10-09)
Weather is a major contributing factor in aviation accidents, incidents and delays. Doppler weather radar has emerged as a potent tool to observe weather. Aircraft carry onboard radars but their range and angular resolution ...
Studies On The Combustion And Gasification Of Concentrated Distillery Effluent
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-24)
The need for effective disposal of huge volumes of industrial waste is becoming more challenging due to expected imposition of stringent pollution control regulations in the near future. Thermochemical conversion, particularly ...
2D Compressible Viscous Flow Computations Using Acoustic Flux Vector Splitting (AFVS) Scheme
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-07)
The present work deals with the extension of Acoustic Flux Vector Splitting (AFVS) scheme for the Compressible Viscous flow computations. Accurate viscous flow computations require much finer grids with adequate clustering ...
Transition Zone In Constant Pressure Boundary Layer With Converging Streamlines
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-18)
The laminar-turbulent transition in viscous fluid flows is one of the most intriguing problems in fluid dynamics today. In view of the enormous applications it has in a variety of fields such as aircraft design, turbomachinery, ...
Linear Instability Of Laterally Strained Constant Pressure Boundary Layer Flows
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-26)
The linear instability of laterally diverging/converging flows is an important aspect towards understanding the laminar-transition process in many viscous flows. In this work the linear instability of constant pressure ...
Development Of A Single Cylinder SI Engine For 100% Biogas Operation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-21)
This work concerns a systematic study of IC engine operation with 100% biogas as fuel (as opposed to the dual-fuel mode) with particular emphasis on operational issues and the quest for high efficiency strategies. As a ...
Studies On Momentum, Heat And Mass Transfer In Binary Alloy Solidification Processes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-06)
The primary focus of the present work is the development of macro-models for numerical simulation of binary alloy solidification processes, consistent with microscopic phase-change considerations, with a particular emphasis ...
