Structure of the Tropical Easterly Jet in NCAR CAM-3.1 GCM
(2018-04-24)This thesis examines the structure of the Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ) in a General Circulation Model (GCM). The TEJ is observed only during the Indian summer monsoon period and is strongest during July and August. The jet ... -
Studies for Design of Layered Ceramic Armour Inspired by Seashells
(2018-06-26)Pearly layers in seashells, also known as nacreous layers, are reported to be three orders of magnitude tougher than their primary constituent, aragonite. Their high toughness is attributed to a particular structure of ... -

Studies In The Dynamics Of Two And Three Wheeled Vehicles
(2016-09-09)Two and three-wheeled vehicles are being used in increasing numbers in many emerging countries. The dynamics of such vehicles are very different from those of cars and other means of transportation. This thesis deals with ... -
Studies On Automization And Sprays Of Plant Oil Biofuels Using Laser-Based Diagnostics
(2014-12-12)Atomization characteristics of liquid fuel sprays control combustion efficiency and emissions in engines. The present work is motivated by the need to study the atomization and spray structure of vegetable oil biofuels for ... -
Studies on Flow Dynamics and Spray Swirl Interactions in Gas Turbine Combustor
Coupling of spray with the coherent structures of a highly turbulent flow has been a long-standing problem especially in the context of liquid fuel delivery systems in gas turbine combustors. The atomizer in a gas turbine ... -
Studies on Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium AA2024 Alloy to Pure Copper
Aluminium-copper joints are widely used in electrical applications due to their unique properties. However, joining of these metals by conventional welding techniques is restricted due to the formation of brittle (bulk ... -
Studies On Friction Stir Welding Of Precipitation Hardenable Aluminium Alloys
(2010-06-10)Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an emerging solid state welding process. It has been a proven method for welding high strength aluminium alloys which were previously not recommended for conventional fusion welding. Since ... -
Studies On Fuel-Air Stratification And Combustion Modelling In A CNG-Fuelled Engine
(2016-11-19)In-cylinder fuel-air mixing in a compressed natural gas (CNG)-fuelled, single-cylinder, spark-ignited engine is analysed using a transient three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic model built and run using STAR-CD, a ... -
Studies on Metal Hydride Based Multifunctional Coupled Thermal Battery Systems
Thermal energy storage systems (TESS) based on chemisorption/thermochemical reactions have several advantages over conventional thermal storage systems based on sensible and latent heat. The advantages include high energy ... -
Studies on modeling the mechanics of slender elastic ribbons
Ribbons are slender structures characterized by three disparate geometric dimensions: length >> width >> thickness. Such a dimensional disparity enables ribbons to bend, buckle, twist and crease response to simple loading ... -
Studies On Momentum, Heat And Mass Transfer In Binary Alloy Solidification Processes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-06)The primary focus of the present work is the development of macro-models for numerical simulation of binary alloy solidification processes, consistent with microscopic phase-change considerations, with a particular emphasis ... -
Studies on Multiphase, Multi-scale Transport Phenomena in the Presence of Superimposed Magnetic Field
(2018-02-28)Multiphase transport phenomena primarily encompass the fundamental principles and applications concerning the systems where overall dynamics are precept by phase change evolution. On the other hand, multiscale transport ... -

Studies on the Design of Novel MEMS Microphones
(2018-02-17)MEMS microphones have been a research topic for the last two and half decades. The state-of-the-art comprises surface mount MEMS microphones in laptops, mobile phones and tablets, etc. The popularity and the commercial ... -
Studies On The Dynamics And Stability Of Bicycles
(2009-02-25)This thesis studies the dynamics and stability of some bicycles. The dynamics of idealized bicycles is of interest due to complexities associated with the behaviour of this seemingly simple machine. It is also useful as ... -
Studies on the Effect of Process Aspects on Material Mixing and Defect Formation in Friction Stir Welding
(2018-05-30)Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a rapidly growing solid state welding process and has been a proven method for welding high strength aluminium alloys which were formerly not recommended for joining by conventional fusion ...
