Studies On Shock Wave Attenuation In Liquids
(2013-06-11)
The attenuation mechanism of shock waves of arbitrary strength propagating in air has been reasonably well understood. On the other hand, very little is known about the precise mechanism of shock wave attenuation and energy ...

Development Of A New Finite-Volume Lattice Boltzmann Formulation And Studies On Benchmark Flows
(2011-06-30)
This thesis is concerned with the new formulation of a finite-volume lattice Boltzmann equation method and its implementation on unstructured meshes. The finite-volume discretization with a cell-centered tessellation is ...
Dynamics And Stability Of A Launch Vehicle
(2011-07-08)
Stability is an important criterion in the design and performance of launch vehicles. Present day launch vehicles have become more and more flexible due to the constraints of weight reduction, necessarily imposed for ...
Large Eddy Simulation of Multiphase Flows
(2018-06-05)
Multiphase flows are a common phenomenon. Rains, sediment transport in rivers, snow and dust storms, mud slides and avalanches are examples of multiphase flows occurring in nature. Blood flow is an example of multiphase flow ...
Edge Effect of Semi-Infinite Rectangular Posts on Impacting Drops
(2018-05-30)
The inhibiting effect of a sharp edge on liquid spreading is well observed during drop interaction with textured surfaces. On groove-textured solid surfaces comprising unidirectional parallel grooves, the edge effect of ...
A Design Procedure for Flapping Wings Comprising Piezoelectric Actuators, Driver Circuit, and a Compliant Mechanism
(2018-06-05)
Flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV) is an emerging micro-robotic technology, which has several challenges toward its practical implementation. Inspired by insect flight, researchers have adopted bio-mimicking approach ...
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 ...
