Short to Medium Range Forecasting Skills of the GFS Model
The reliable prediction of the South Asian monsoon rainfall and its variability is crucial for
various hydrological applications and early warning systems. This study analyzes Global Fore-
cast System (GFS) model generated ...
Non-classical continuum models for solids using peridynamics and gauge theory
This thesis focuses on three areas of nonclassical continuum mechanics of solids. In the first part, we develop a few peridynamics (PD) models and solution strategies for discretized PD equations in the context of the ...
Lanthanide Photoluminescence: A Tool for Analyzing Local Heterogeneity in Ferroelectrics and Scope for High Performance Optical Thermometry
Rare-earth doped phosphors are fascinating both from scientific and technological standpoints because of the great scope it offers for spectral tuning, enabling a large variety of applications: from simple road markers to ...
Interaction Design and Distraction Detection of Drivers in Automobiles
In recent times, usage of electronic devices inside cars while driving has increased due to the introduction of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained. Systems like satnav ease out the navigation by ...
Studies on Flow Dynamics and Spray Swirl Interactions in Gas Turbine Combustor
Coupling of spray with the coherent structures of a highly turbulent flow has been a long-standing problem especially in the context of liquid fuel delivery systems in gas turbine combustors. The atomizer in a gas turbine ...
Evolution of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings formed on AM50 Mg alloy utilizing various alkaline electrolytes with and without glycerol additive and its corrosion behavior
The widespread application for Mg and its alloys are severely restricted mainly due to its relatively low strength and ductility and poor corrosion behaviour, particularly in the aqueous environment. The plasma electrolytic ...
Studies on alkali activated compressed earth bricks for structural masonry
Earth based construction materials are acknowledged as low carbon and low embodied energy materials. The investigations dealt in the thesis were mainly focused on exploring the geopolymer and lime-ground slag binders for ...
Multi-Scale Modeling of Moist Convection Over India
Clouds exist on all scales from turbulent processes to global scale and are organized
on all the scales in between. They truly are multi-scale in nature. This makes them a
very challenging simulation problem for atmospheric ...
Analysis and Modelling of Small Scale Organic Rankine Cycle System with Scroll Expander
In recent years, the growing concern about pollution from fossil fuels has resulted in an increased effort for utilization of low-grade heat sources such as industrial waste heat, solar energy and other renewable sources. ...
Explicit Filtering LES for turbulent premixed flames
Large eddy simulations of a premixed, turbulent, methane-air round jet flame at an equivalence ratio of 0.8 and unburnt gas temperature of 800 K are performed using Explicit Filtering LES (EFLES) method. The nominal inflow ...
