Moist and Dry Dynamics in Shallow Water and General Circulation Models
Various aspects of dry and moist atmospheric dynamics are explored through systems of varying complexity, ranging from a 2-D shallow water model to a more complex 3-D general circulation model. First, we examine the response ... -
Blast Mitigation Strategies for Marine Sandwich Structures
Blast mitigation is being researched from the time of world war II. There were full field blast tests and analytical studies on the performance of monolithic structures to mitigate blast load. Sandwich structures were also ... -
Bubble and conical forms of vortex breakdown in swirling jets
The present study focusses on vortex breakdown (VB), which occurs in axially convected swirling flows and is characterized by the development of an internal stagnation point and regions of reverse flow. VB has been ... -
Mass Transport in Cu-Interlayer-Si Systems under Various Thermo-Electro-Mechanical Excursions
This work falls in general area of the electro-thermo-mechanical driven mass transport in Cu-Si systems, which often finds relevance while accessing reliability issues pertaining to thin film interconnects in microelectronic ... -
An Approach Towards Inactivation of Susceptible and Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Contamination using Novel Photo–(electro)-catalysts
Water in most rivers in India does not meet the standards for drinking and even for bathing purposes due to the high concentration of coliforms, organic and inorganic contaminants. Overuse, uncontrolled release and careless ... -
Study of Phase Equilibria and Interfacial Properties of Systems Containing Clathrate Hydrates Using Molecular Simulations
Gas hydrates, also known as clathrate hydrates are nonstoichiometric and crystalline solids composed of water and gas molecules. If the gas molecules are natural gas components, such as methane, ethane, propane, etc., ... -
Methodologies for Risk Assessment of Landslides Induced by Rainfall and Earthquake
Landslide is one of the greatest natural catastrophes and poses a major threat to lives and property worldwide. As development expands into unstable hill areas under the pressure of increasing population and urbanisation, ... -
