Cloud Properties Over SHAR Region Derived From Weather RADAR Data
(2011-01-18)Weather radars are increasingly used for the study of clouds, understanding the precipitation systems and also for forecasting very short range weather (one hour to a few hours). Now, Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) data are ... -
Co-continuous microstructures through spinodal decomposition in ternary systems: A phase field study
We have studied spinodal decomposition which leads to a three-phase microstructure in ternary alloys using computer simulations based on the ternary Cahn-Hilliard equations. All the alloys we have studied are in the same ... -
Co-operative Destabilization of a Flat Plate Boundary Layer by a Free Stream Convecting Vortex and Wall Suction/Blowing
The stability of wall bounded shear layer at subcritical Reynolds number disturbed by a freestream convecting vortex and unsteady suction/blowing at the wall was studied. A counterclockwise line vortex was convected parallel ... -
CO2 Ventilation, Hydrological Cycle over Southern Ocean and Clumped Isotope Thermometry in Biogenic Carbonates
(2018-02-20)The thesis presents observations on the CO2 concentration and carbon isotopes in air CO2 (δ13C) to constrain the inter-annual variability of carbon inventory over the Southern Ocean between the years 2011-2013. Based on ... -
Coalescence of Polymeric Droplets
Coalescence is an energy minimization phenomenon in which two equilibrium droplets undergo a transition to attain a final equilibrium state, i.e., a coalesced state. Coalescence begins with a point contact between the ... -
Cold Model Study Of Formation And Breaking Of Raceway
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)The raceway in the ironmaking blast furnace is a void in front of the hot blast tuyeres where coke and supplementary fuel burn to supply heat to the ironmaking process. The air velocity through the tuyeres is high (around ... -

Collapse Behaviour Of Red Soils Of Bangalore District
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)Collapse phenomenon is exhibited by two types of residual soils. The first category of collapsing residual soils is believed to be transported soils that have undergone post-depositional pedogenesis. The second category ... -
Collision Avoidance And Coalition Formation Of Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vechicles In High Density Traffic Environments
(2014-08-07)This thesis addresses the problems of collision avoidance and coalition formation of multiple UAVs in high density traffic environments, proposes simple and efficient algorithms as solutions, and discusses their applications ... -
Combustion Instability Screech In Gas Turbine Afterburner
(2009-08-04)Gas turbine reheat thrust augmenters known as afterburners are used to provide additional thrust during emergencies, take off, combat, and in supersonic flight of high-performance aircrafts. During the course of reheat ... -

A Comparative Study Of Different Numerical Techniques Used For Solving Incompressible Fluid Flow Problems
(2010-06-03)Past studies (primarily on steady state problems) that have compared the penalty and the velocity-pressure finite element formulations on a variety of problems have concluded that both methods yield solutions of comparable ... -
A Comparative Study Of The Numerical Techniques Used In The Wrinkling Analysis Of Membranes
(2010-07-19)This work is a comparative study of the various numerical techniques used for analyzing membranes. Membrane analysis is complicated by the fact that local instabilities occur in membranes in the form of small waves or ... -
Comparison of Additive and Multiplicative Kinematics in Large Deformation Plasticity
The most widely used plasticity model in commercial finite element analysis software packages is the additive plasticity model. One of the more well-known alternatives to additive plasticity is multiplicative plasticity. ... -
Comprehensine Studies Of Surface Aeration Systems
(2010-04-12)Dissolved oxygen refers to the mass of oxygen that is contained in water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is an important indicator of the environments water quality. The presence of oxygen in water is desirable ... -
Comprehensive Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior of Nial-x (X=pt, Pd) Alloys: Effect of Composition, Orientation and Temperature
Gas turbine engines in the turbine section operate at temperatures exceeding 1300°C, which can cause high-temperature oxidation and reduce the lifespan of turbine blades. To counter this, thermal barrier coating (TBC) ... -
Comprehensive Seismic Hazard Analysis of India
(2018-02-23)Planet earth is restless and one cannot control its inside activities and vibrations those leading to natural hazards. Earthquake is one of such natural hazards that have affected the mankind most. Most of the causalities ... -
Comprehensive Study on Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocellulose Reinforced Green Composites
Environmental issues caused by the non-biodegradability of synthetic thermoplastics have increased interest in more environmentally friendly alternatives that should be derived from renewable resources. This work focuses ... -
Compressible Mixing of Dissimilar Gases
(2018-03-22)This thesis is concerned with the study of parallel mixing of two dissimilar gases under compressible conditions in the confined environment. A number of numerical studies are reported in the literature for the compressible ...
