Wing in Ground Effect
(2017-12-01)
The thesis presents a two pronged approach for predicting aerodynamics of air- foils/wings in the vicinity of the ground. The first approach is effectively a model for ground effect studies, employing an inexpensive Discrete ...
Kinetic Streamlined-Upwind Petrov Galerkin Methods for Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations
(2017-09-20)
In the last half a century, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been established as an important complementary part and some times a significant alternative to Experimental and Theoretical Fluid Dynamics. Development ...
Automated Meshless CFD Process using Cartesian Point Distribution
The thesis deals with the meshless methods based on generalized finite difference procedure operating on the mere distribution of points. The work per se focuses on maturing the meshless LSFD-U solver as a standard industrial ...
Design of Planar Supersonic Wind Tunnel Nozzle
This thesis revisits the design of a planar supersonic nozzle for a supersonic wind tunnel using
the method of characteristics (MOC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). While design
of a converging-diverging (CD) ...
Design of Curved Aggressive Annular Diffusers
For economical air transportation, aero engines with lower specific fuel consumption, lower emissions and lower noise levels are required. To this end, the use of turbofan engine with high bypass ratio is an option. With ...
Aerodynamics of Nose Mounted Propeller Aircraft
The thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis of a nose-mounted propeller aircraft using the flow solver HiFUN. Unsteady RANS simulations using sliding mesh technology is performed on aircraft with the propeller. The study ...
Analysis of Residual Estimate of Local Truncation Error
This thesis focuses on understanding the behaviour of the residual error estimator, referred to as R- parameter, in the context of Finite Volume Method. R-parameter measures the local truncation error (LTE) which is generated ...
