Diagnostic study of the structure of inter tropical convergence zone in an aquaplanet general circulation model
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a narrow region of cloudiness and rainfall that has a predominant east–west orientation. In the present study, the response of the ITCZ to latitudinal variation of the sea surface ... -
Differential Evolution Based Interceptor Guidance Law
(2013-05-29)Kinematics based guidance laws like the proportional navigation (PN) and many other linear optimal guidance laws perform well in near-collision course conditions. These have been studied thoroughly in the literature from ... -
Differential Games Guidance Laws for Aerospace Applications
(2018-07-26)This thesis addresses several aerospace guidance and decision making problems using both no cooperative and cooperative game theoretical solution concepts in the differential games framework. In the first part of the thesis, ... -
Diffusion Controlled Growth of A15-Based Nb3Sn and V3Ga Intermetallic Compounds
(2018-08-09)The A15-based Nb3Sn and V3Ga superconducting compounds are an integral part of synchrotrons and magnetic fusion reactor technology, especially where a magnetic field higher than 10 T is required, which lies beyond the limit ... -
Diffusion Studies On Systems Related to Nickel Based Superalloys
(2013-02-28)Superalloys offer high temperature strength, excellent creep, corrosion and oxidation resistances, microstructural stability and good fatigue life at elevated temperatures. The composition of the superalloys has been ... -
Diffusion-Controlled Growth of Phases in Metal-Tin Systems Related to Microelectronics Packaging
(2018-08-28)The electro–mechanical connection between under bump metallization (UBM) and solder in flip–chip bonding is achieved by the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) during the soldering process. These IMCs ... -
Digitalisation of the Quality Management System in the Medical Device Industry for Certification
The Indian medical device manufacturing sector is rapidly growing yet faces persistent challenges related to regulatory compliance, limited access to advanced technologies, and economic constraints. These issues are ... -
Direct Estimation of Acoustic Source Characteristics of the Internal Combustion Engine Exhaust System and Analysis of Complex Muffler Configurations
Reduction in noise radiated from the IC engines is needed to meet the ever increasingly stringent noise regulations. The unmuffled exhaust noise of an IC engine is the biggest contributor to the overall engine noise. ... -
Direct Methods for Optimal Ascent Guidance
An ascent guidance algorithm determines the thrust vector that allows the spacecraft to reach the desired orbit. Generally, optimal ascent guidance algorithms try to reach the orbit while minimizing mission time or fuel. ... -
Direct Numerical Simulation of Square Vortex Flows
Atmospheric and oceanic flows are often modeled as two-dimensional due to their large planar extents (∼ 1000 km) and small vertical extent (∼ 10 km). Most phenomena in these systems are governed by the theory of two-dimensional ... -
Direct Numerical Simulations and Fluctuating Force Simulations of Turbulent Particle-gas Suspensions
(2018-05-18)Turbulent gas-particle suspensions are of great practical importance in many naturally phenomena, such as dust storms and snow avalanches, as well as in industrial applications such as fluidised, circulating bed reactors ... -
Discrete particulate description of elastic structures undergoing geometrically nonlinear deformation and dynamic particle interaction
The mechanical behaviour of deformable bodies in a particulate environment has been an area of increasing interest across a wide spectrum of systems and scale. A composite ensemble of deformable structures and discrete ... -
Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Schemes for Inviscid Compressible Flows
It is known that high-speed flows are compressible. In large parts of the flow domains, the inviscid approximation is valid and this leads to Euler equations of gas dynamics. These inviscid compressible flows are modelled ... -
Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Schemes with Efficient Multidimensional Models
Traditional CFD algorithms have achieved a high degree of sophistication for modelling fluid flows in the past five decades. This sophistication can be seen clearly in one dimensional modelling, with a wide variety of ... -
Dissipation of energy of a circular jet submerged in water
This thesis deals with the study of the dissipation of energy of a high-velocity jet flowing into a standing mass of water. At the instant when the jet enters the standing pool of water, the jet possesses the maximum energy ... -
