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 ...
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 ...
Premixed Turbulent Combustion Of Producer Gas In Closed Vessel And Engine Cylinder
(2010-10-22)
Producer gas derived from biomass is one of the most environment friendly substitutes to the fossil fuels. Usage of producer gas for power generation has effect of zero net addition of CO2 in atmosphere. The engines working ...
Accurate Computational Algorithms For Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
(2010-10-08)
The numerics of hyperbolic conservation laws, e.g., the Euler equations of gas dynamics, shallow water equations and MHD equations, is non-trivial due to the convective terms being highly non-linear and equations being ...
Vibration And Impact Induced Sound
(2010-10-22)
Sound generated by impacting structures is of considerable importance in noise control. Sound is generated by a vibrating structure by inducing pressure fluctuations in the surrounding medium. Impact induced noise is the ...
Decentralized Sustainable Energy Planning For Tumkur District, India
(2010-02-18)
The energy-planning involves finding a set of sources and conversion devices so as to meet the energy requirements/demands of all the activities in an optimal manner. This could occur at centralized or decentralized level. ...
Experimental Investigation Of The Effect Of Nose Cavity On The Aerothermodynamics Of The Missile Shaped Bodies Flying At Hypersonic Mach Numbers
(2010-06-01)
Hypersonic vehicles are exposed to severe heating loads during their flight in the atmosphere. In order to minimize the heating problem, a variety of cooling techniques are presently available for hypersonic blunt bodies. ...
