Constrained Optimal Guidance Design of Interceptors for High-Speed Ballistic Targets
In this thesis, optimal control theory has been applied to design constrained terminal guidance algorithms for interceptor to destroy incoming high speed ballistic targets. There exist several optimal guidance algorithms ... -
Control of shock-induced vortex breakdown in Transonic regime on a slender delta wing body configuration using blowing
Modern high speed aircrafts feature highly swept and low aspect ratio wings, mainly to increase the critical Mach number and reduce the wave drag. A special case of swept wings is wings with triangular planform commonly ... -
Design and Performance Analyses of Osculating Cone Waveriders
Modern mission requirements for long-range maneuverable hypersonic vehicles for space, military, and transportation applications necessitate vehicle design innovations. The primary challenges that a hypersonic vehicle ... -
Development of Spatio-Temporal Multi-Task Assignment Approaches for Perimeter Defense Problem
Rapidly evolving technologies in the autonomous operation of Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and associated developments in low-cost sensors have created significant interest among researchers in using them for various ... -
Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Schemes with Efficient Multidimensional Models
Traditional CFD algorithms have achieved a high degree of sophistication for modelling fluid flows in the past five decades. This sophistication can be seen clearly in one dimensional modelling, with a wide variety of ... -
Dynamics of Laminar Separation Bubbles on Low Reynolds Number Airfoils
This is a detailed study on the aerodynamics of low Reynolds number airfoils. E387 airfoil that comes under the category of trailing-edge stall is used extensively in this study. The reduction in lift due to low Reynolds ... -
Experimental and numerical study of sink flow turbulent boundary layers
Sink flow turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) develop in the incompressible flow be- tween two convergent, plane smooth walls and represent a family of favorable pres- sure gradient TBLs. These are the only smooth wall TBLs ... -
Experimental Investigation on Hypersonic Flowfield Around Spiked Axisymmetric Bodies
Shock-shock interactions appearing around hypersonic vehicles are generally complex and often lead to high values of localized pressures and temperatures. This increase in temperature is associated with exceedingly high ... -
Experimental Studies on Co-current downdraft Biomass Gasifier
The main theme of the work carried out and reported in this thesis is to understand the processes involved in a co-current downdraft biomass gasification reactor and to analyse the data obtained with an attempt to provide ... -
Implicit Gradient Reconstruction for Unstructured Mesh Finite Volume Method
In the present work, an Implicit Gradient Reconstruction (IGR) method is proposed in the context of Finite Volume Methodology (FVM). There are three computationally intensive steps involved in a typical finite volume ... -
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 ... -
Investigating Instability Mitigation through Flame Oscillator Synchronization
Stringent emission regulations for reducing NOx and soot emissions are driving gas turbine combustors manufacturers to adopt lean premixed combustion technology. However, the rich dynamics of turbulent, lean premixed ... -
Negotiator Initiated Connectivity Restoration in Partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are groups of sensors, connected by communication links, spread over the area of interest, to perform a specific task. The network may get partitioned into clusters due to unanticipated ... -
Numerical solution of non-classical beam and plate theories using di erential quadrature method
For effcient design of the nano/micro scale structural systems, detailed analysis and through understanding of size-dependent mechanical behaviour at nano/micro scale is very critical. Various approaches have been used ... -
On late stages of transition in round jets
A round jet is one of the simplest canonical axisymmetric free shear flows that occur both in engineering applications and natural phenomena. A laminar-turbulent transition process is inherent to its development involving ... -
