Impact Of Dynamical Core And Diurnal Atmosphere Occean Coupling On Simulation Of Tropical Rainfall In CAM 3.1, AGCM
(2010-12-30)In first part of the study we discuss impact of dynamical core in simulation of tropical rainfall. Over years many new dynamical cores have been developed for atmospheric models to increase efficiency and reduce numerical ... -
Impact Of Large-Scale Coupled Atmospheric-Oceanic Circulation On Hydrologic Variability And Uncertainty Through Hydroclimatic Teleconnection
(2010-06-14)In the recent scenario of climate change, the natural variability and uncertainty associated with the hydrologic variables is of great concern to the community. This thesis opens up a new area of multi-disciplinary research. ... -
Impact of Local and Remote Land-Atmosphere Coupling on the Indian Summer Monsoon
India lies on the edge of the Asian summer monsoon domain and receives almost 80% of its annual rainfall during June to September (referred as Indian summer monsoon rainfall: ISMR). The dominant forcing behind inter-annual ... -
Impact of Orography on the Simulation of Monsoon Climate in a General Circulation Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-28)Orography plays a major role in the general circulation and climate of the tropics. Although many works have been done on the impact of global orography on summer monsoon, the previous studies have examined the impact on ... -
Impact of river runoff into the ocean on climate in a coupled model
In order to study the impact of global runoff, sensitivity experiment (NoRiv) was carried out by shutting down the entire runoff into the ocean for a period of 200 years. The changes in NoRiv, compared to the reference ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on IDF Relationships for Design of Urban Stormwater Systems
(2018-01-29)Increasing global mean temperature or global warming has the potential to affect the hydrologic cycle. In the 21st century, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), alterations in the frequency ... -
Implicit Gradient Reconstruction for Unstructured Mesh Finite Volume Method
In the present work, an Implicit Gradient Reconstruction (IGR) method is proposed in the context of Finite Volume Methodology (FVM). There are three computationally intensive steps involved in a typical finite volume ... -
Implicit Least Squares Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM) And Implicit LSKUM Based On Entropy Variables (q-LSKUM)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-12)With increasing demand for computational solutions of fluid dynamical problems, researchers around the world are working on the development of highly robust numerical schemes capable of solving flow problems around complex ... -
Improved laboratory and computational models for thermal core–mantle interaction
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by thermochemical convection within its fluid outer core. The near-stationary high-latitude magnetic flux concentrations in the present day field indicate that convective ... -
Improved Methods for Filtration, Drainage and Structural Evaluations With and Without Geocomposites for Subsurface Drainage of Pavements
Pavements are continuously exposed to the environment leading to ingress of water from multiple sources that structurally weakens the pavement materials. The conventional solution for drainage requires granular material ... -
Improved Numerical And Numeric-Analytic Schemes In Nonlinear Dynamics And Systems With Finite Rotations
(2010-04-13)This thesis deals with different computational techniques related to some classes of nonlinear response regimes of engineering interest. The work is mainly divided into two parts. In the first part different numeric-analytic ... -
Improved Solution Techniques For Trajectory Optimization With Application To A RLV-Demonstrator Mission
(2009-03-12)Solutions to trajectory optimization problems are carried out by the direct and indirect methods. Under broad heading of these methods, numerous algorithms such as collocation, direct, indirect and multiple shooting methods ... -
Improved Theory of Clathrate Hydrates
(2018-07-30)The current theoretical understanding of thermodynamics of clathrate hydrates is based on the van der Waals and Plattew (vdWP) theory developed using statistical thermodynamics approach. vdWP theory has been widely used ... -
