Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of a Turbocharger Compressor
(2018-05-01)This thesis constitutes detailed computational investigation on ow through the passages of a centrifugal compressor used for turbocharging applications. Given the dynamic nature of operation of the turbocharger, it becomes ... -
Time Scale Separated Nonlinear Partial Integrated Guidance And Control Of Endo-Atmospheric Interceptors
(2011-03-17)To address the concern of classical guidance and control designs (where guidance and control loops are designed separately in an “outer loop – inner loop” structure), integrated guidance and control (IGC) ideas have been ... -
Time-Optimal Guidance for Impact Angle Constrained Interception of Moving Targets
(2018-05-30)Various unmanned missions deploy vehicles such as missiles, torpedoes, ground robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Guidance strategies for these vehicles aim to intercept a target point and satisfy additional objectives ... -
Transition Zone In Constant Pressure Boundary Layer With Converging Streamlines
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-18)The laminar-turbulent transition in viscous fluid flows is one of the most intriguing problems in fluid dynamics today. In view of the enormous applications it has in a variety of fields such as aircraft design, turbomachinery, ... -
Turbulence Modeling for Predicting Flow Separation in Rocket Nozzles
(2018-01-30)Convergent-Divergent (C-D) nozzles are used in rocket engines to produce thrust as a reaction to the acceleration of hot combustion chamber gases in the opposite direction. To maximize the engine performance at high ... -
Turbulence-Premixed Flame Interactions
The interaction between premixed flames and turbulence is an inherently non-linear phenomenon. Understanding such interactions has profound practical implications towards the development of better combustion devices and ... -
Turbulent Jet Diffusion Flame : Studies On Lliftoff, Stabilization And Autoignition
(2010-07-09)This thesis is concerned with investigations on two related issues of turbulent jet diffusion flame, namely (a) stabilization at liftoff and (b) autoignition in a turbulent jet diffusion flame. The approach of Conditional ... -
Turbulent Near Wake Behind An Infinitely Yawed Flat Plate
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-20)Near wake is the region of wake flow just behind the trailing edge of the body where the flow is strongly influenced by the upstream flow conditions and also perhaps by the characteristics of the body. The present work ... -
Two Problems on the Parametric Resonances and Bifurcations in Rotating Beams
The current research work addresses two interesting systems related to rotating beams. The first dynamical system under consideration is an articulated uniform beam rotating in vacuum under vertical hub excitation along ... -
UAV Group Autonomy In Network Centric Environment
(2016-11-23)It is a well-recognized fact that unmanned aerial vehicles are an essential element in today’s network-centric integrated battlefield environment. Compared to solo UAV missions, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles deployed ... -
Ultra High Compression For Weather Radar Reflectivity Data
(2009-03-02)Weather is a major contributing factor in aviation accidents, incidents and delays. Doppler weather radar has emerged as a potent tool to observe weather. Aircraft carry an onboard radar but its range and angular resolution ... -

Ultrasonic Guided Wave Based Models, Devices and Methods for Integrated Structural Health Monitoring
(2018-01-31)Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems for future structures and vehicles would involve a process of damage identification and prediction of certain quantities of interest that concerns the function and safety. This ... -
Uncertainty modeling and analysis of aerospace structures
Aerospace structures are different from other structures due to the difference in the required properties for an aerospace application. The primary motivation of this kind of structure lies in its lightweight nature, ... -
Understanding High Speed Mixing Layers with LES and Evolution of Urans Modeling
(2017-11-15)This thesis is concerned with studies on spatially developing high speed mixing layers with twin objectives: (a) to provide enhanced and detailed understanding of spatial development of two-dimensional mixing layer emanating ... -
A Unified, Configurable, Non-Iterative Guidance System For Launch Vehicles
(2011-02-10)A satellite launch vehicle not subjected to any perturbations, external or internal, could be guided along a trajectory by following a stored, pre-computed steering program. In practice, perturbations do occur, and in order ... -
Vibration And Impact Induced Sound
(2010-10-22)Sound generated by impacting structures is of considerable importance in noise control. Sound is generated by a vibrating structure by inducing pressure fluctuations in the surrounding medium. Impact induced noise is the ... -
