Numerical Modelling and Software Development for Analysing Squeeze Film Fffect in MEMS
(2018-06-05)The goal of the current study was to develop a computational framework for modelling the coupled fluid-structure interaction problem of squeeze films often encountered in MEMS devices. Vibratory MEMS devices such as ... -
Numerical Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements and Assemblages Exposed to Thermo-mechanical Loading
Fire represents one of the extreme loads that a structure may experience during its design life. In reinforced concrete (RC) structures, the mechanical properties of both concrete and steel deteriorates with rise in ... -
Numerical Simulation of a High-speed Jet Injected in a Uniform Supersonic Crossflow Using Adaptively Redistributed Grids
(2018-05-22)Minimizing numerical dissipation without compromising the robust shock-capturing attributes remains an outstanding challenge in the design of numerical methods for high-speed compressible flows. The conflicting requirements ... -
Numerical Simulation of Convection Dominated Flows using High Resolution Spectral Method
(2018-03-19)A high resolution spectrally accurate three-dimensional flow solver is developed in order to simulate convection dominated fluid flows. The governing incompressible Navier Stokes equations along with the energy equation ... -

Numerical Simulations Of Axisymmetric Near Wakes At High Reynolds Numbers
(2009-03-13)The flow past the needle of a Pelton turbine injector is an axisymmetric wake embedded in a round jet. The wake does not fully relax to yield a uniform velocity jet due to the short distance between ... -
Numerical Simulations of Deforming Capsules and Cells in a flow
Understanding the evolution of deforming capsules and cells in various flow configurations can assist in better diagnosis of diseases like Malaria and sickle cell anemia. Flow of deformable capsules is also useful in ... -
Numerical Simulations Of Two-Phase Reacting Flow In A Cavity Combustor
(2013-05-28)In the present work, two phase reacting flow in a single cavity Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) is studied at atmospheric conditions. KIVA-3V, numerical program for simulating three dimensional compressible reacting flows ... -
Numerical Simulations Of Void Growth In Ductile Single Crystals
(2010-09-03)The failure mechanism in ductile materials involves void nucleation, their growth and subsequent coalescence to form the fracture surface. The voids are generated due to fracture or debonding of second phase particles or ... -
Numerical Simulations on the Indentation Behaviour of Shape Memory Alloys
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are increasingly being used as micro actuators, sensors, as self expanding cardiovascular stents and in MEMs based devices because of their ability to recover large values of imposed strain. ... -
Numerical solution of non-classical beam and plate theories using di erential quadrature method
For effcient design of the nano/micro scale structural systems, detailed analysis and through understanding of size-dependent mechanical behaviour at nano/micro scale is very critical. Various approaches have been used ... -
Numerical Studies On Ductile Fracture Of Pressure Sensitive Plastic Solids
(2010-07-08)Experimental studies have shown that the yield strength of many important engineering materials such as polymers, ceramics and metallic glasses is dependent on hydrostatic stress. In addition, these materials may also ... -
Numerical Studies on Plastic Deformation, Notch Sensitivity and Fracture Behavior of Bulk Metallic Glasses and Composites
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) exhibit attractive properties such as high strength and resilience. However, they display negligible tensile ductility due to catastrophic crack propagation inside a dominant shear band (SB). ... -
Numerical Study of Accelerating Turbulent Boundary Layers
This thesis focuses on the prediction of favourable pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer flows. Particularly, the focus is on mild favourable pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers and relaminarising turbulent ... -

A Numerical Study of Changes to Flow Organization and their Prognostic Measures
(2018-05-23)Flow induced self-oscillations cause acoustic pressure oscillations of large amplitude in pipe flows. If Reynolds number is treated as a parameter, these floinduced oscillations occur only at discrete and critical values ...
