Regionalization Of Hydrometeorological Variables In India Using Cluster Analysis
(2017-07-12)
Regionalization of hydrometeorological variables such as rainfall and temperature is necessary for various applications related to water resources planning and management. Sampling variability and randomness associated ...
Field Investigations And Modeling of Flow in Vadose Zone in a Forested Watershed
(2017-10-18)
The vadose zone is the unsaturated zone between the ground surface and water table. This zone is of much importance as it acts as a link between surface water and ground water. Knowledge of soil moisture in this zone is ...
Experimental Studies on The Mechanical Behaviour of Cohesive Frictional Granular Materials
(2017-09-26)
Thss thesis presents the results of an experimental programme on the static mono-tonic response of cohesive-frictional granular materials. The purpose of this experimental programme was to gain insight into the mechanical ...
Schemes for Smooth Discretization And Inverse Problems - Case Study on Recovery of Tsunami Source Parameters
(2017-10-17)
This thesis deals with smooth discretization schemes and inverse problems, the former used in efficient yet accurate numerical solutions to forward models required in turn to solve inverse problems. The aims of the thesis ...
Fuzzy State Reservoir Operation Models For Irrigation
(2017-05-04)
Efficient management of limited water resources in an irrigation reservoir system is necessary to increase crop productivity. To achieve this, a reservoir release policy should be integrated with an optimal crop water ...
Partial Slip Contacts in Linear Viscoelasticity
(2017-10-05)
This work analyzes partial slip contact problems in the theory of linear viscoelasticity using both the semi-analytical method and nite element method. Such problems arise in metal-polymer contacts in orthopedic implants ...
Pozzolanic Additives To Control Dispersivity Of Soil
(2016-11-13)
The aim of the present investigation is to improve the geotechnical properties of
dispersive soil by reducing their dispersivity after elucidating the important mechanisms controlling the dispersivity of the soils. ...
Formation of Porous Metallic Nanostructures Electrocatalytic Studies on Self-Assembled Au@Pt Nanoparticulate Films, and SERS Activity of Inkjet Printed Silver Substrates
(2018-04-24)
Porous, conductive metallic nanostructures are required in several fields, such as energy conversion, low-cost sensors etc. This thesis reports on the development of an electrocatalytically active and conductive membrane ...
Quantification of Uncertainties in Urban Precipitation Extremes
(2018-05-25)
Urbanisation alters the hydrologic response of a catchment, resulting in increased runoff rates and volumes, and loss of infiltration and base flow. Quantification of uncertainties is important in hydrologic designs of ...
