Viscous Vortex Method Simulations of Stall Flutter of an Isolated Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers
(2017-11-27)The flow field and forces on an isolated oscillating NACA 0012 airfoil in a uniform flow is studied using viscous vortex particle method. The simulations are carried out at very low chord (c) based ... -
Visibility Visualization And Haptic Path Exploration
(2009-08-19)We propose a real-time system to visualize multi-viewpoint visibility information for terrains, supporting flight path optimization for view coverage or vehicle exposure to ground. A volume rendered display and a haptic ... -
Vision-based Strategies for Landing of Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(2018-05-14)Vision-based conventional landing of a fixed wing UAV is addressed in this thesis. The work includes mathematical modeling, interface to a software for rendering the outside scenery, image processing techniques, control law ... -
Vision-driven Tele-Operation for Robot Manipulation
It’s worth the time to acknowledge just how amazingly well we humans can perform tasks with our hands. Starting from picking up a coin to buttoning up our shirts. All these tasks for robots are still at the very forefront ... -
Visual Analysis Of Interactions In Multifield Scientific Data
(2014-11-14)Data from present day scientific simulations and observations of physical processes often consist of multiple scalar fields. It is important to study the interactions between the fields to understand the underlying phenomena. ... -
Visual Flow Analysis and Saliency Prediction
(2017-12-16)Nowadays, we have millions of cameras in public places such as traffic junctions, railway stations etc., and capturing video data round the clock. This humongous data has resulted in an increased need for automation of ... -
Visual Speech Recognition
Visual speech recognition (VSR), or automatic lip-reading, is the task of extracting speech information from visual input. The addition of visual speech has been shown to improve the performance of traditional audio ... -
Voltage Stability Analysis of Unbalanced Power Systems
(2018-02-07)The modern day power system is witnessing a tremendous change. There has been a rapid rise in the distributed generation, along with this the deregulation has resulted in a more complex system. The power demand is on a ... -
Vorticity and scalar transport in turbulent round jets with and without heating
The round turbulent jets are ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems such as clouds, engine exhausts, chimney plumes, and respiratory flows. We aimed to understand the vorticity and scalar transport in turbulent ... -
Vulnerabilities And Adaptation To Environmental Regulations : Response Of Small And Medium Scale Firms In The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry
(2015-02-05)In the past few decades, there has been increasing concern towards the potential effects of industrial pollutants on our eco-system. Each country has developed and enacted stringent environmental regulatory standards to ... -
Vulnerability of Forests to Climatic and Non-Climatic Stressors : A Multi-Scale Assessment for Indian Forests
(2018-06-05)During the 21st century, climatic change and non-climatic stressors are likely to impact forests leading to large-scale forest and biodiversity loss, and diminished ecological benefits. Assessing the vulnerability of ... -
Wall Effects In Packed Beds
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-13)Packed beds find extensive application in a wide variety of industries. The objective of the present work is to analyze and evaluate the effects of the wall on structural characteristics, hydrodynamics and heat transfer ... -
Warped Galaxies : Recovery Of Pattern Speed, Velocity Field And The Warp Equation
(2015-08-04)Pattern speed is an important parameter of the density wave theory for spiral galaxies. In this thesis we have determined the pattern speed for warped galaxies (flat galaxies being a special case of this generalization) ... -
Water Balance Studies In A Small Experimental Forested Watershed, South India
(2011-04-01)Forested watersheds play a dominant role in the global hydrological cycle. Very few experimental observatories especially in tropical forested regions of India have been undertaken. This study has been initiated for this ... -
Water Market for Efficient Management of Water Resources in India
India sustains nearly 17% of the world's population but with only 4 % of global water resources. In India, the water sector faces enormous pressure due to increased demand resulting from population growth, industrialisation, ... -
Water Soluble Inorganic Aerosol Chemical Characteristics Over An Urban Site In Southern India
(2015-12-08)Aerosol are solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere ranging in size from 10 3 to 102 m. Aerosol influence both the regional and global climate of the earth by its direct and indirect effect. Role of atmospheric ... -
Wave Propagation in Adhesively Bonded Single Lap Joints: Solution of Forward and Inverse Problems
The use of adhesives for bonding composites as well as metals is rapidly increasing since it provides uniform load transfer and is free of stress concentration seen around the drilled holes in bolted or riveted joints. ... -
