Experimental Study Of Plasma Actuator Characteristics And Optimization Of Configuration
(2013-06-26)
Plasma actuators are devices which function by creating a discharge in air at atmospheric conditions. These devices have been demonstrated to effectively delay flow separation and enhance the lift- drag characteristics of ...
Active Vibration Control Synthesis Using Viscoelastic Damping Phenomena
(2011-07-12)
In this thesis, a new method is followed to design an active control system which imparts viscoelastic phenomenological damping in an elastic structure. Properties of a hypothetical viscoelastic system are used to design ...
Experimental Study On The Impact Of Water Drops On Groove-Textured Surfaces
(2014-09-08)
The interaction of a liquid drop with a solid surface is being actively studied to understand practically encountered scenarios such as the impact of fuel spray droplets onto the walls of engine combustion chamber, the ...
Micro-Blast Waves
(2014-09-02)
The near field blast–wave propagation dynamics has been a subject of intense research in recent past. Since experiments on a large scale are difficult to carry out, focus has been directed towards recreating these blast ...
Energy Separation And Lox Separation Studies In Vortex Tubes
(2014-11-24)
Vortex Tube (VT) is a simple device having no moving mechanical parts, in which compressed gas at high pressure is injected through one or more tangential nozzles into a vortex chamber resulting in the separation of the ...
LU-SGS Implicit Scheme For A Mesh-Less Euler Solver
(2014-10-10)
Least Square Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM) belongs to the class of mesh-less method that solves compressible Euler equations of gas dynamics. LSKUM is kinetic theory based upwind scheme that operates on any cloud of points. ...
System Identification And Control Of Helicopter Using Neural Networks
(2013-04-29)
The present work focuses on the two areas of investigation: system identification of helicopter and design of controller for the helicopter.
Helicopter system identification, the first subject of investigation in this ...
Structural Modeling And Analysis Of Insect Scale Flapping Wing
(2013-06-04)
Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are defined as a class of vehicles with their larger dimension not exceeding 15 cm and weighing 100 gm. The three main approaches for providing lift for such vehicles are through fixed, rotating ...
Development Of A New Finite-Volume Lattice Boltzmann Formulation And Studies On Benchmark Flows
(2011-06-30)
This thesis is concerned with the new formulation of a finite-volume lattice Boltzmann equation method and its implementation on unstructured meshes. The finite-volume discretization with a cell-centered tessellation is ...
