Shock tube experimental and advanced computational investigations on pyrolysis of cyclohexane derivatives and C2 + C2 reaction
My thesis involves studying the pyrolysis/thermal decomposition of cyclohexane derivatives (important constituents of conventional transportation fuel). From the literature as well as the composition analysis of two fuels ... -
Shock Tube Investigation and Modeling of Dicyclopentadiene: Fundamental to Application
Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), a homodimer of cyclopentadiene (C5H6) was chosen for the present study. DCPD can be obtained by dehydrogenation of JP-10 (jet propellant C10H16) which is currently used as aviation fuel. The ... -
Shock Tunnel Investigations on Hypersonic Impinging Shock Wave Boundary Layer Interaction
(2018-04-13)The interaction of a shock wave and boundary layer often occurs in high speed flows. For sufficiently strong shock strengths the boundary layer separates, generating shock patterns in the contiguous inviscid flow (termed ... -
Shock Tunnel Investigations On Hypersonic Separated Flows
(2009-08-11)Knowledge of flow separation is very essential for proper understanding of both external and internal aerothermodynamics of bodies. Because of unique flow features such as thick boundary layers, merged shock layers, strong ... -
Shock Wave-boundary Layer Interaction in Supersonic Flow over Compression Ramp and Forward-Facing Step
(2018-01-12)Shock wave-boundary layer interactions (SWBLIs) have been studied ex-tensively due to their practical importance in the design of high speed ve-hicles. These interactions, especially the ones leading to shock induced ... -
Shocks, Shock-Boundary Layer Interaction, And Transonic Flutter
(2017-09-27)Transonic utter is an aeroelastic instability characterized by part-chord shocks over an airfoil and single mode oscillations leading to a drop in the utter boundary. We present a numerical study that examines the influence ... -
Short Circuit and Open Circuit Natural Frequencies of 3-Φ Transformers: Derived Analytical Expressions and its Applications
Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) method is perhaps the most sensitive tool that can detect even the slightest of winding/core movements. High sensitivity, non-invasiveness, non-destructiveness, and on-site capability are ... -
Short to Medium Range Forecasting Skills of the GFS Model
The reliable prediction of the South Asian monsoon rainfall and its variability is crucial for various hydrological applications and early warning systems. This study analyzes Global Fore- cast System (GFS) model generated ... -
Shortest Length Geodesics on Closed Hyperbolic Surfaces
(2018-01-31)Given a hyperbolic surface, the set of all closed geodesics whose length is minimal form a graph on the surface, in fact a so called fat graph, which we call the systolic graph. The central question that we study in this ... -
Signal Processing Algorithms For Digital Image Forensics
(2010-03-19)Availability of digital cameras in various forms and user-friendly image editing softwares has enabled people to create and manipulate digital images easily. While image editing can be used for enhancing the quality of the ... -
Signal Processing and Coding for Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording
Many novel approaches have been proposed to improve storage densities of magnetic recording beyond the existing 1 Tb/in2. These include heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), bit-patterned media (BPM) and two-dimensional ... -
Signcryption in a Quantum World
With recent advancements and research on quantum computers, it is conjectured that in the foreseeable future, sufficiently large quantum computers will be built to break essentially all public key cryptosystems currently ... -
Silicon photodetector integrated silicon nitride-on-SOI platform for communication and sensor applications
Driven by the exponential growth of data tra c, current infrastructure and standards are evolved to meeting the requirements. In long haul communication, 1550/1310 nm based singlemode ber technology is a commercially ... -
Silk-based Biomaterials for Wound Care and Tissue Regeneration
For most individuals, wound healing is a highly organized, straightforward process. However, there are instances where external intervention becomes necessary to support the body’s innate healing mechanism. In this thesis, ... -
Similarity between Scalar Fields
(2017-10-05)Scientific phenomena are often studied through collections of related scalar fields such as data generated by simulation experiments that are parameter or time dependent . Exploration of such data requires robust measures ... -

Over the past few decades, applications of high-power fiber laser in the area of material processing, medicine, defence, high precision micro-machining etc., is rapidly increasing. The primary reason behind thriving ... -
Simple Models For The Mean And Transient Intertropical Convergence Zone And Its Northward Migration
(2011-11-16)Satellite data have shown that east-west oriented cloud bands, known as Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), propagate eastwards along the equator throughout the year and northwards during boreal summer on intraseasonal ... -
Simulation and Characterization of Streamflow Time Series
Streamflow can be partitioned into distinct time scales to better understand the underlying governing processes: fast flow, representing surface runoff controlled mainly by meteorological processes that operate over ...
