Optimal Control Of Numerical Dissipation In Modified KFVS (m-KFVS) Using Discrete Adjoint Method
(2010-06-04)
The kinetic schemes, also known as Boltzmann schemes are based on the moment-method-strategy, where an upwind scheme is first developed at the Boltzmann level and after taking suitable moments we arrive at an upwind scheme ...
Studies In Stability Of Newtonian And Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Past Rigid And Flexible Surfaces
(2010-09-23)
The surface oscillations in a deformable wall are known to induce an instability in the adjacent flow even in the absence of inertia. This instability, if understood properly, can be exploited to generate a well-mixed flow ...
Particle Dynamics In A Turbulent Particle-Gas Suspension At High Stokes Number
(2010-12-08)
Particle laden turbulent flows find applications in many industrial processes such as energy conversion, air pollution control etc. In these types of flows, there are strong coupling between the turbulent fluctuations in ...
Modeling And Simulation Frameworks For Synthesis Of Nanoparticles
(2010-08-06)
Nanoparticles are used in various applications like medical diagnostics, drug delivery, energy technology, electronics, catalysis etc. Although particles of such small dimensions can be synthesized through various methods, ...
Engineering Analysis Of Pichia Pastoris Fermentation
(2010-07-14)
In recent years, several industrial yeasts, owing to their robust growth and certain other characteristics, have been developed as recombinant host systems for commercial production of heterologous proteins. One such ...
An Investigation On Role Of Surface Reflectance And Aerosol Model In Remote Sensing Of Aerosols From Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Over India
(2010-07-21)
The Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites have provided a global distribution of aerosols. The space-based inversion of MODIS measurements requires assumption about ...
Numerical Study Of Low Mach Number Conjugate Natural Convection And Radiation In A Vertical Annulus
(2010-07-23)
The problem of low Mach number (non-Boussin´esq) conjugate laminar natural convection combined with surface radiation in a vertical annulus with a centrally located vertical heat generating rod is studied numerically, ...
On Modeling Of Constrained Piezoelectric Thin Films For Structural Health Monitoring
(2010-01-01)
The behaviour of a free-standing thin film differs from that of a film surface-bonded or embedded due to the boundary constraints. A general dearth of analytical models, in regard to prediction of the operational competence ...
Dynamics Of Early Stages Of Transition In A Laminar Separation Bubble
(2010-04-12)
This is an experimental and theoretical study of a laminar separation bubble and the associated transition dynamics in its early stages. The separation of a laminar boundary layer from a solid surface is prevalent in very ...
Design, Development And Flight Control Of Sapthami - A Fixed Wing Micro Air Vehicle
(2010-09-21)
Two micro air vehicles, namely Sapthami and Sapthami-flyer, are developed in this thesis. Their total weight is less than 200grams each. They fit inside a 30cm and 32cm sphere respectively and carry the commercially available ...
