Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as a highly efficient model for the simulation of incompressible flows in the last few decades. Its extension to compressible flows is hindered by the fact that the ...

This thesis addresses the critical challenge of visual prediction in mobile robotics, particularly focusing on scenarios where cameras mounted on autonomous robots must navigate dynamic environments with human presence. ...

Experiments on axisymmetric and two-dimensional lifted laminar diffusion flames have been conducted to obtain the height of lift as a function of flow parameters. The results are correlated on the basis of simple dimensional ...

We develop a physics-based reduced-order model of the aero-acoustic sound sources in reacting mixing layers as a method for fast and accurate predictions of the radiated sound. Instabilities in low-speed mixing layers are ...

Most analyses of existing interceptor guidance laws assume the interceptor speed to be constant, which simplifies mathematical analysis and enhances predictability in interception characteristics. In reality, this is not ...

In this thesis we describe the development of Reynolds- averaged Navier Stokes code for the flow past two- dimensional configuration. Particularly, emphasis has been laid on the study of low Reynolds number airfoil ...

Understanding of the flow behind the bluff body poses a great challenge and remains almost entirely in the empirical and descriptive realm of knowledge. Flow in the wake of bluff bodies is characterized by the phenomenon ...

Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ...
