The forefront research in the regime of hypersonic flow is intended to focus on improving the overall performance of the existing aerospace vehicles. A high-speed vehicle experiences a high level of aerodynamic heating and ...

Studies on liquid atomization and spray formation in coaxial type atomizers are necessary to improve the performance of liquid propellant rocket engines. Recess ratio, expressed as the ratio of orifice recess length to ...

In this work, an attempt has been made to strengthen the adhesive bonding using various concepts like hybrid joints, dual and mixed adhesive bonded joints. One of the most commonly occurrence of defect in adhesive bonded ...

Wave propagation in elastic continuum is a subject of interest in many fields of engineering and has been explored for several decades from theoretical, computational and experimental perspective. In this context, a ...

Sink flow turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) develop in the incompressible flow be- tween two convergent, plane smooth walls and represent a family of favorable pres- sure gradient TBLs. These are the only smooth wall TBLs ...

During lift-off of launch vehicles jets from nozzles impinge on a wedge deflector which directs the jet away from the rocket along passages. As a high Reynolds number turbulent flow the whole region has a broad spectrum ...

Rise in autonomy has led to increase in usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for various applications and has allowed the UAVs to perform complex and hazardous missions with ease. Formation of multiple UAVs finds ...

This thesis deals with ultrasonic guided wave based non-destructive inspection and health monitoring of aircraft structural components using a non-contact sensing scheme based on laser Doppler scanning imaging technique. ...

The modelling of spray-wall interaction encountered in engine combustors relies heavily on studies of single drop impact on heated solid surfaces. In the present thesis, the impact of a single fuel drop on a hot, smooth ...

The nonlinear convection terms in the governing equations of inviscid compressible fluid flows are nontrivial for modelling and numerical simulation. The traditional Riemann solvers, which are strongly dependent on the ...
