Pitting corrosion poses a significant threat to deepwater oil and gas production facilities, yet our current understanding of its impact on specific systems such as steel catenary riser (SCR), tensioned leg platforms (TLP), ...

The halo orbits around the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point form an ideal location for deploying a solar observation spacecraft as they offer uninterrupted, long-duration visibility of the Sun. However, the complex orbital and ...

Granular media, such as sand, soil, and rocks, are commonly encountered in various engineering and geotechnical applications, and their response to blast loading is of significant interest. In this master’s thesis, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Decades of research aim to shield structures and people from impact and shock, mitigating damage and traumatic brain injuries. The development of novel structures to absorb energy and reduce stress waves in structures ...

In autonomous missions, quadrotors are often required to safely fly through gaps or openings. Designing traversal guidance strategies becomes crucial in such scenarios, especially when the quadrotor relies on the information ...

Flow in the wake generated by a solid body presents an important class of problems in fluid dynamics, with wide ranging scientific implications and engineering applications. The present work investigates the structure and ...

The round turbulent jets are ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems such as clouds, engine exhausts, chimney plumes, and respiratory flows. We aimed to understand the vorticity and scalar transport in turbulent ...

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 ...
