Maintaining Underwater Cassie State for Sustained Drag Reduction in Channel Flow
(2018-02-21)
Water droplets tend to bead up on rough or textured hydrophobic surfaces by trapping air on the crevices underneath resulting in “Cassie” state of wetting. When a textured hydrophobic surface is immersed in water, the ...
Asymptotic Analysis Of The Dispersion Characteristics Of Structural Acoustic Waveguides
(2010-04-12)
In this work, we study the coupled dispersion characteristics of three distinct structural-acoustic waveguides, namely: -(1) a two-dimensional waveguide, (2) a fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell and (3)a fluid-filledelliptic ...
Construction of 3D CAD Models From 2D Orthographic Views
(2011-01-19)
This thesis addresses the problem of constructing 3D CAD models from 2D engineering drawings of the object. Procedures for each step in the popular bottom-up approach are described. In each of the steps in this approach, ...
Flow Over A Circular Cylinder With A Flexible Splitter Plate
(2010-07-08)
Previous work on rigid splitter plates in the wake of a bluff body has shown that the primary vortex shedding can be suppressed for sufficiently long splitter plates. In the present work, we study the problem of a flexible ...
