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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

Composite structures provide opportunities for weight reduction, material tailoring and integrating control surfaces with embedded transducers, which are not possible in conventional metallic structures. As a result there ...

Sandwich constructions are the most commonly used structures in aircraft and navy industries, traditionally. These structures are made up of the face sheets and the core, where the face sheets will be taking the load and ...

In this work, the problem of detecting neuronal spikes or action potentials (AP) in noisy recordings from a Microelectrode Array (MEA) is investigated. In particular, the spike detection algorithms should be less complex ...

Wave propagation is a common phenomenon in aircraft structures resulting from high velocity transient loadings like bird hit, gust etc. Apart from understanding the behavior of structures under such loading, wave propagation ...

Least Squares Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM), a grid free method based on kinetic schemes has been gaining popularity over the conventional CFD methods for computation of inviscid and viscous compressible flows past complex ...

Pure Sn and Sn-alloys are widely used in electrical and microelectronic devices as protective layer to prevent oxidation of Cu conductors and also as a component of Pb-free, Sn-based solders. Sn coatings, typically 0.5-10 ...
