The occurrence of a severe natural disaster causes loss of life and destruction of properties. The overall criticality of the disaster depends on the nature of the disaster and the physical characteristics of the affected ...

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 ...

The present study deals with the numerical analysis of the effect of the swirl in the self-preservation region of the turbulent round jet. However, a large number of literature exists for the analysis of near-exit regions—very ...

The design of foundations depends on the properties of soil, which are affected by various forms of uncertainties. These uncertainties affect the foundation performance and hence are considered in the deterministic design ...

This thesis is a comprehensive experimental investigation of transitional and turbulent channel flow in the Reynolds number range of Reτ = 55 − 1559. Towards this objective, a new channel flow facility was designed and ...

A round jet is one of the simplest canonical axisymmetric free shear flows that occur both in engineering applications and natural phenomena. A laminar-turbulent transition process is inherent to its development involving ...

Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) also known as supercapacitors are a category of energy storage devices that are known for their remarkable power delivery (upto 1000KW/kg). The energy storage is through physical ...

A significant fraction of the materials handled in the chemical, food-processing, and pharmaceutical industries are particulate in nature. Screw feeder systems are often employed in such scenarios to achieve their bulk ...

For many years, fluid flows have been modeled, starting from basic potential flow equations to full Navier-Stokes equations. The complexity of the flow increases as viscous effects, boundary layer, and flow separation are ...

Compound droplets are utilized in applications ranging from the preparation of emulsion to biological cell printing and additive manufacturing. Here, we report on the impact dynamics of a compound hollow droplet on a ...
