A High-Resolution Procedure For Euler And Navier-Stokes Computations On Unstructured Grids
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-20)A finite-volume procedure, comprising a gradient-reconstruction technique and a multidimensional limiter, has been proposed for upwind algorithms on unstructured grids. The high-resolution strategy, with its inherent ... -
Hybird Central Solvers for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
(2018-05-11)The hyperbolic conservation laws model the phenomena of nonlinear waves including discontinuities. The coupled nonlinear equations representing such conservation laws may lead to discontinuous solutions even for smooth ... -
Hybrid Physics-Data Driven Models for the Solution of Mechanics Based Inverse Problems
Inverse problems pose a significant challenge as they aim to estimate the causal factors that result in a measured response. However, the responses are often truncated, partially available, and corrupted by measurement ... -

Nonlinear trajectory optimization based optimal guidance schemes are presented in this thesis for soft-landing of spacecrafts on atmosphere-less celestial bodies. First, a pseudo-spectral philosophy based multi-phase ... -
Instabilities In Supersonic Couette Flow
(2010-07-15)Compressible plane Couette flow is studied with superposed small perturbations. The steady mean flow is characterized by a non-uniform shear-rate and a varying temperature across the wall-normal direction for an appropriate ... -
An Integrated Estimation-Guidance Approach for Seeker-less Interceptors
(2018-07-16)In this thesis, the problem of intercepting highly manoeuvrable threats using seeker-less interceptors that operate in the command guidance mode, is addressed. These systems are more prone to estimation errors than standard ... -
Integrated Relative Position and Attitude Control of Distributed Spacecraft Formation For High Resolution Imaging
One of the major challenges in space technology is to achieve high resolution imaging of the intended area on demand to meet civilian and military applications. Spacecraft formation flying with coordinated control of smaller ... -
Inter-laminar Stresses In Composite Sandwich Panels Using Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM)
(2013-07-10)In aerospace applications, use of laminates made of composite materials as face sheets in sandwich panels are on the rise. These composite laminates have low transverse shear and transverse normal moduli compared to the ... -
Interaction behavior and droplet characteristics of multi-injector sprays
The injector faceplate of a liquid propellant rocket engine is comprised of numerous single-element atomizers to inject propellants into the engine thrust chamber. The sprays from these single-element atomizers interact ...
