Analytical and experimental studies on stratified flows
Stratified flows are the fluid motions caused or influenced by the density differences. The density currents, the intrusion of salt wedge, the gravitational circulation, diffusion and dispersion of pollutants in estuaries ... -
Analytical and Numerical Modeling for Heat Transport in a Geothermal Reservoir due to Cold Water Injection
(2018-01-09)Geothermal energy is the energy naturally present inside the earth crust. When a large volume of hot water and steam is trapped in subsurface porous and permeable rock structure and a convective circulating current is set ... -
Analytical and numerical modelling of complex multiphase flow processes in geological environments
Most geological flow and transport models describe the flow and convective-dispersive spreading of one or more components entirely dissolved in the most common geological fluid, water. However, many other processes—such ... -
Analytical Models For Stress-Strain Response Of Fiber-Reinforced Soil And Municipal Solid Waste
(2011-04-01)The present thesis proposes model for the analyses of stress-strain response of fiber reinforced soil and municipal solid waste (MSW). The concept of reinforcing soils by introducing tension resisting elements such as ... -
Analytical Response Sensitivity Using Hybrid Finite Elements

Analyzing Inter-modal Competition Between High Speed Rail and Conventional Transport Modes in Indian Context
Indian Railway provides an important mode of public transport in India. This is the most commonly used and cost effective long-distance transport system of the country. Indian Railways has played an immense role in ... -
Application of Finite Element Limit Analysis and Other Means to Deal with Problems Involving Foundations and Excavations
The finite elements limit analysis (FELA) is an important tool to solve any stability problem in geomechanics. This method provides lower and upper bounds on the true solution for a material following an associated flow ... -
Application Of Polynomial Reproducing Schemes To Nonlinear Mechanics
(2011-03-15)The application of polynomial reproducing methods has been explored in the context of linear and non linear problems. Of specific interest is the application of a recently developed reproducing scheme, referred to as the ... -
An Application of Resonant Column along with Bender Elements Tests for Assessing Dynamic Properties and Liquefaction Potential of Sand
For determining the response of foundation soils subjected to different kinds of vibrations emerging from (i) an occurrence of an earthquake, (ii) movements of trains over railways tracks, (iii) running of vehicles over ... -
Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ... -
Assessment and Monitoring Of Hydrometeorological Variables And Extreme Conditions for Present and Future Climate Change Scenarios
Monitoring and assessment of Hydrological/hydrometeorological Variables (HVs) like streamflow, soil moisture, precipitation, and temperature are essential for various applications such as prediction/forecasting of natural ... -
Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ... -
Assessment Of Seismic Hazard With Local Site Effects : Deterministic And Probabilistic Approaches
(2013-04-26)Many researchers have pointed out that the accumulation of strain energy in the Penninsular Indian Shield region may lead to earthquakes of significant magnitude(Srinivasan and Sreenivas, 1977; Valdiya, 1998; Purnachandra ... -
Assimilation of near-surface soil temperature and soil moisture in an unsaturated flow model: State and parameter estimation using synthetic and field experiments
Soil moisture is a key variable governing land surface hydrology, agricultural productivity, and climate dynamics, influencing crucial processes such as evapotranspiration, infiltration, and surface runoff. Accurate ... -
At-site and Multisite Probabilistic Forecasting of Streamflow
Streamflow forecasts are very useful for a variety of applications such as flood warning, reservoir operation and water resources planning and management, especially in countries like India where streamflow can be highly ... -
Attenuation Characteristics and Seismicity Analysis of Himalayan Region with Linear Joint Time-frequency Analysis Techniques
About 59% of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has high chances of moderate to severe earthquakes, of which the Himalayas are the most seismically active. Regardless of the high seismic activity, the seismic network ... -
Bayesian implicit filters for the analysis of numerically stiff structural dynamic state space models
This thesis reports on combined experimental and computational investigations conducted on problems of state and combined state and parameter estimation applied to vibrating engineering structures. The standard dynamic ...
