Dynamics of Droplets Under Support, Acoustic And/Or Ambient Flow Excitation
(2018-04-24)
The first step on the way to understanding the complicated dynamics of spray is to study the behavior of isolated droplets. In many industrial and natural processes such as turbulent combustion, agricultural sprays, spray ...
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 ...
Dynamics of Bubbles and Drops in the Presence of an Electric Field
(2018-07-16)
The present thesis deals with two-phase electrohydrodynamic simulations of bubble and droplet dynamics under externally applied electric fields. We used the Coupled Level-Set and Volume-of-fluid method (CLSVOF) and two ...
Experiments On Rolling Sphere Submerged In An Incompressible Fluid
(2016-09-15)
Experiments are done using a smooth solid rigid homogeneous acrylic sphere rolling on an inclined plane which is submerged in water. The motivation for these experiments comes from a need to understand a class of solid-fluid ...
Axially Homogeneous Turbulent Convection at High Rayleigh Numbers : Scaling Laws for Flux and Spectra
(2018-05-30)
Natural turbulent convection studies encompass a wide range of flows occurring in nature, for example, atmospheric and oceanic flows, con-vection in the Earth’s mantle, convection in the stars and also in many engineering ...
Stall Flutter of a Cascade of Blades at Low Reynolds Number
(2017-12-05)
Due to the requirements for high blade loading, modern turbo‐machine blades operate very close to the stall regime. This can lead to flow separation with periodic shedding of vortices, which could lead to self induced ...
Viscous Vortex Method Simulations of Stall Flutter of an Isolated Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers
(2017-11-27)
The flow field and forces on an isolated oscillating NACA 0012 airfoil in a uniform flow is studied using viscous vortex particle method. The simulations are carried out at very low chord (c) based ...
Interaction of Bubbles with Vortical Structures
(2017-09-23)
Bubbly turbulent flows occur in a variety of industrial, naval and geophysical problems. In these flows, the bubbles in the flow interact with turbulence and/or vortical structures present in the continuous phase, resulting ...
