Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of a Turbocharger Compressor
(2018-05-01)
This thesis constitutes detailed computational investigation on ow through the passages of a centrifugal compressor used for turbocharging applications. Given the dynamic nature of operation of the turbocharger, it becomes ...
Effect of Favourable Pressure Gradient on Turbulence in Boundary Layers
(2018-07-16)
This thesis explores the effects of favourable pressure gradient on the structure of turbulent boundary layers (TBL). In this context, the structure of three types of boundary layers namely a zero-pressure-gradient ...
Experiments on the Late Stages of Boundary Layer Transition
(2018-03-19)
In canonical boundary layer transition, a uniform laminar flow perturbed by 2-d T-S waves develops downstream into 3-d waves, which eventually break down with turbulent spots appearing. Previous experimental studies have ...
Analysis of Unsteady Incompressible Potential Flow Over a Swimming Slender Fish and a Swept Wing Tail
(2018-05-16)
This thesis deals with computing the pressure distribution around a swimming slender fish
and the thrust generated by its flapping motion. The body of the fish is modeled as a missile like slender body to which a tail is ...
Residual Error Estimation And Adaptive Algorithms For Fluid Flows
(2011-03-16)
The thesis deals with the development of a new residual error estimator and adaptive algorithms based on the error estimator for steady and unsteady fluid flows in a finite volume framework. The aposteriori residual error ...
Study of Non-Equilibrium Flow Behind Normal Shock
(2017-12-10)
Normal shock problems in high enthalpy flows are of special interests to aerodynamicists and fluid dynamicists. When the shock Mach number become hypersonic and increasing further, the gas passing through the shock is ...
