Direct Numerical Simulations of Fluid Turbulence : (A) Statistical Properties of Tracer And Inertial Particles (B) Cauchy-Lagrange Studies of The Three Dimensional Euler Equation
(2017-11-09)The studies of particles advected by tubulent flows is an active area of research across many streams of sciences and engineering, which include astrophysics, fluid mechanics, statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, and ... -
Driven Granular and Soft-matter : Fluctuation Relations, Flocking and Oscillatory Sedimentation
(2018-06-11)Active matter refers to systems driven out of thermal equilibrium by the uptake and dissipation of energy directly at the level of the individual constituents, which then undergo systematic movement in a direction decided ... -
Duality for Spaces of Holomorphic Functions into a Locally Convex Topological Vector Space
Consider an open subset O of the complex plane and a function f : O ÝÑ C. We understand the concept of holomorphicity of a complex-valued function. Suppose a function f defined on O takes values in a locally convex ... -
Dynamic Flow Rules in Continuum Visco-plasticity and Damage Models for Poly-crystalline Solids
Modelling highly non-linear, strongly temperature- and rate-dependent visco-plastic behaviour of poly-crystalline solids (e.g., metals and metallic alloys) is one of the most challenging topics of contemporary research ... -
Dynamical Imprint of Dark Matter Halo and Interstellar Gas on Spiral Structure in Disk Galaxies
(2018-08-29)The topic of this thesis deals with the spiral structure in disk galaxies with a specific aim of probing the influence of the dark matter halo and the interstellar gas on the origin and longevity of the spiral arms in ... -
Dynamical Properties of Families of Holomorphic Mappings
(2018-06-08)Thesis Abstract In the first part of the thesis, we study some dynamical properties of skew products of H´enon maps of C2 that are fibered over a compact metric space M . The problem reduces to understanding the dynamical ... -
Dynamics and Organization of Passive and Magnetically Driven Colloids Under Optical Confinement
The physics of confined systems of interacting particles has been a subject of active research for more than a century. Such systems are ubiquitous in nature - examples include petroleum in porous rocks, cytoplasm in ... -
