The word 'rendezvous' implies a pre-arranged meeting between two entities for a specific purpose. This term is used in the study of spacecraft operations, to describe a set of maneuvers performed by two spacecraft in order ...

Natural turbulent convection studies encompass a wide range of flows occurring in nature, for example, atmospheric and oceanic flows, con-vection in the Earth’s mantle, convection in the stars and also in many engineering ...

The Bay of Bengal is a semi-enclosed tropical basin shaped by monsoon winds and massive freshwater input, producing a warm, low salinity, stratified upper ocean with a shallow mixed layer and a thick barrier layer in the ...

The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ...

This thesis reports on combined experimental and computational investigations conducted on problems of state and combined state and parameter estimation applied to vibrating engineering structures. The standard dynamic ...

The end game guidance and control of an interceptor for neutralization of a hypersonic vehicle or a maneuvering aerial target is a challenging problem. This problem can be addressed in two ways: through faster autopilot ...

In autonomous missions, quadrotors are often required to safely fly through gaps or openings. Designing traversal guidance strategies becomes crucial in such scenarios, especially when the quadrotor relies on the information ...

Space Situational Awareness [SSA] is defined as the comprehensive knowledge of Resident Space Objects [RSO] which may include satellites, rocket bodies, debris etc. and the ability to understand their behaviour. SSA solutions ...
