• Micro-Blast Waves 

      Obed Samuelraj, I (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 ...
    • Mixing Enhancement Studies on Supersonic Elliptic Sharp Tipped Shallow (ESTS) Lobed Nozzles 

      Varghese, Albin B M (2017-11-22)
      Rapid mixing and spreading of supersonic jets are two important characteristics in supersonic ejectors, noise reduction in jets and fuel mixing in supersonic combustion. It helps in changing the acoustic and thermal signature ...
    • On Flow Physics of Spinning Samaras 

      Yogeshwaran, G
      A particular form of winged seed (samara) dispersal technique adopted by nature uses autorotative (unpowered rotation of the wing generating thrust force against gravity) descent; for eg. in Maple and Mahagony trees. ...
    • Response of Granular Materials Towards Blast Loading 

      Mondal, Suraj Kumar
      Granular media, such as sand, soil, and rocks, are commonly encountered in various engineering and geotechnical applications, and their response to blast loading is of significant interest. In this master’s thesis, the ...
    • Shock Tunnel Investigations on Hypersonic Impinging Shock Wave Boundary Layer Interaction 

      Sriram, R (2018-04-13)
      The interaction of a shock wave and boundary layer often occurs in high speed flows. For sufficiently strong shock strengths the boundary layer separates, generating shock patterns in the contiguous inviscid flow (termed ...
    • Shock Tunnel Investigations On Hypersonic Separated Flows 

      Reddeppa, P (2009-08-11)
      Knowledge of flow separation is very essential for proper understanding of both external and internal aerothermodynamics of bodies. Because of unique flow features such as thick boundary layers, merged shock layers, strong ...
    • Studies On Shock Wave Attenuation In Liquids 

      Bhaskar, K (2013-06-11)
      The attenuation mechanism of shock waves of arbitrary strength propagating in air has been reasonably well understood. On the other hand, very little is known about the precise mechanism of shock wave attenuation and energy ...
