Simulation and Study of Noise Generated due to Turbulent Boundary Layer in Towed Hydrophone Array
In this thesis, a wave propagation based analytical model is developed for an underwater towed array. The towed array is modeled as an in finite tube filled with a certain liquid and submerged in an in finite volume of ... -
Simulation of complex plastic flows in metal sliding and cutting
Metal manufacturing encompasses a broad range of mechanical transformation processes that shape native metal into useful forms. These processes generally involve the interaction of a hard tool with a specimen / workpiece, ... -
Simulations of Aerosol Species over the Indian Region: Evaluation and Improvements
Increasing aerosol loading over the south Asian region, holds a potential of, perturbing the south Asian monsoon system and the Himalayan glacial coverage, and thus affecting lives of (1/4)th of the world’s population. ... -
Single Cavity Trapped Vortex Combustor Dynamics : Experiments & Simulations
(2011-04-06)Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) is a relatively new concept for potential use in gas turbine engines addressing ever increasing demands of high efficiency, low emissions, low pressure drop, and improved pattern factor. This ... -
Single-Phase And Multi-Phase Convection During Solidification Of Non-eutectic Binary Solutions
(2014-10-20)During solidification of non-eutectic alloys, non-isothermal phase change causes dendritic growth of solid front with liquid phase entrapped within the dendritic network producing the mushy region. Solidification causes ... -
