The thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis of a nose-mounted propeller aircraft using the flow solver HiFUN. Unsteady RANS simulations using sliding mesh technology is performed on aircraft with the propeller. The study ...

This thesis revisits the design of a planar supersonic nozzle for a supersonic wind tunnel using the method of characteristics (MOC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). While design of a converging-diverging (CD) ...

In the past few decades the field of organic electronics particularly organics photovoltaic (OPVs) find wide interest among researchers. It finds many advantages such as light weight, low temperature fabrication requirements, ...

Structural ceramics such as alumina are known to have excellent hardness and high temperature mechanical properties. In view of this, they are used as refractory linings to mitigate the effect of high temperature exposure. ...

Precipitation is a vital element of the global hydrological and energy cycles, which is intermittent and highly variable in both space and time. Accurate measurements of precipitation at various space and time scales are ...

Graphene oxide (GO) is a chemically functionalized graphene with various oxygen-containing functional groups, such as epoxy (-O-), hydroxyl (-OH), and carboxyl (-COOH) on the basal plane. As a consequence, GOs have hydrophilic ...

The India-Eurasia collision zone has been a subject of various studies that have tried to explain the forces behind the high elevation and large scale continental deformation in this region. However, the relative contribution ...

Indian Railways comprise a major part of the infrastructure in India. Most of the transportation of raw materials, goods, and people from different parts of the country is done by the railways. To cope with the ever-increasing ...

Stabilization of expansive soils with various calcium–based stabilizers (lime and cement) directly or in combinations with other solid waste materials such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) etc. ...

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 ...
