Dynamics of Hollow Cone Spray in an Unconfined, Isothermal, Co-Annular Swirling Jet Environment
(2018-07-20)
The complex multiphase flow physics of spray-swirl interaction in both reacting and non-reacting environment is of fundamental and applied significance for a wide variety of applications ranging from gas turbine combustors ...
A Novel Hybrid Vehicle Architecture : Modeling, Simulation and Experiments
(2018-05-22)
Electric and hybrid vehicles are particularly suited for use in urban areas since city transportation is mainly characterized by relatively short driving distances, low continuous power requirements, long idling times and ...
Feasible and Intrinsic Kinetoelastostatic Maps for Compliant Mechanisms
(2018-03-06)
Despite many advances in the design methods for compliant mechanisms, it is still not possible to know if a set of user-specifications has a solution. Furthermore, practical considerations such as failure limits and ...
Experimental and Numerical Studies on Spray in Crossflow
(2018-02-06)
The phenomenon of spray in crossflow is of relevance in gas turbine combustor development. The current work focuses on spray in crossflow rather than liquid jet in crossflow from the standpoint of enhancing fuel dispersion ...
Study of Droplet Dynamics in Heated Environment
(2018-04-02)
Droplets as precursor are extensively applied in diverse fields of science and engineering. Various contributions are provided previously towards analysis of single phase and multi-phase droplets of single and multiple ...
Robust Registration of Measured Point Set for Computer-Aided Inspection
(2018-03-22)
This thesis addresses the problem of registering one point set with respect to
another. This problem arises in the context of the use of CMM/Scanners to inspect
objects especially with freeform surfaces. The tolerance ...
Non-Dimensional Kinetoelastic Maps for Nonlinear Behavior of Compliant Suspensions
(2018-02-18)
Compliant suspensions are often used in micromechanical devices and precision mechanisms as substitutes for kinematic joints. While their small-displacement behavior is easily captured in simple formulae, large-displacement ...
Semisolid Die Casting of Wrought A6061 Aluminium Alloy
(2018-04-02)
The mechanical properties achieved with high performance wrought aluminium alloys are
superior to cast aluminum alloys. To obtain an intricate shaped component, wrought alloys are commonly subjected to forging followed by ...
Adaptive Mesh Redistribution for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
(2018-03-19)
An adaptive mesh redistribution method for efficient and accurate simulation of multi dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws is developed. The algorithm consists of two coupled steps; evolution of the governing PDE ...
Numerical Simulation of Convection Dominated Flows using High Resolution Spectral Method
(2018-03-19)
A high resolution spectrally accurate three-dimensional flow solver is developed in order to simulate convection dominated fluid flows. The governing incompressible Navier Stokes equations along with the energy equation ...
