Benard-Marangoni convection and instability in a layered fluid system
Buoyancy-driven instability has been well established since the pioneering work of Rayleigh, who showed that convection, called Bénard convection, occurs only when the Rayleigh number, which is a ratio of buoyancy force ... -
Betti Numbers, Grobner Basis And Syzygies For Certain Affine Monomial Curves
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-30)Let e > 3 and mo,... ,me_i be positive integers with gcd(m0,... ,me_i) = 1, which form an almost arithmetic sequence, i.e., some e - 1 of these form an arithmetic progression. We further assume that m0,... ,mc_1 generate ... -

Boundary element method applied to fluid flow problems
This research work is a study of fluid flow problems by the Boundary (Finite) Element Method. The widely used Finite Element Method has the advantages of its flexibility in choosing the shape and size of the elements, the ... -
Bounded Analytic Functions On The Unit Disc
(2011-08-09)In this thesis, we have dealt primarily with two function algebras. The first one is the space of all holomorphic functions on the unit disc D in the complex plane which are continuous up to the boundary, denoted by A(D). ... -
Bulk and thin growth of pure and substitued indium antimonide for infrared detector applications
InSb single crystals were grown by the vertical and horizontal Bridgman techniques. About 81 experimental runs were carried out altogether (for 8 mm, 10 mm and 20 mm diameter InSb crystals). Among them, as many as 47 runs ... -
The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes Framework for Multiphase Fluid Flows: Laminar, Turbulent, and Active
The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes (CHNS) framework has found extensive applications, across diverse length and time scales, for multi-phase flows. In this thesis, we demonstrate that this framework offers a robust theoretical ... -
Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes Investigations of Binary-Fluid Turbulence and Droplet Dynamics
(2017-12-10)The study of finite-sized, deformable droplets adverted by turbulent flows is an active area of research. It spans many streams of sciences and engineering, which include chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, statistical ... -
The Caratheodory-Fejer Interpolation Problems and the Von-Neumann inequality
(2018-05-30)The validity of the von-Neumann inequality for commuting $n$ - tuples of $3\times 3$ matrices remains open for $n\geq 3$. We give a partial answer to this question, which is used to obtain a necessary condition for the ... -
Carbon Dots for Next-generation Artificial Lighting Devices
Energy conservation has become a major concern globally in today’s world and artificial lighting (AL) accounts to ~50% of total energy consumption. With increase in population accompanied by modern civilization there is a ... -
Carbon nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications
Environmental pollution and energy storage are two important issues in the modern day society. In this regard, Carbon nanomaterials have attained immense importance, due to their high surface area and electrical conductivity ... -
Carrier Mobility And High Field Transport in Modulation Doped p-Type Ge/Si1-xGex And n-Type Si/Si1-xGex Heterostructures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-26)Modulation doped heterostructures have revolutionized the operation of field effect devices by increasing the speed of operation. One of the factors that affects the speed of operation of these devices is the mobility of ... -
A cavity electromechanical device for superconducting vortex charge sensing
The penetration of magnetic fields in the form of quantized vortices in type-II superconductors is well known. However, it is not well known that such vortices can be electrically charged. The effect is quite subtle and ... -
Central and Peripheral Correlates of Motor Planning
(2018-02-11)A hallmark of human behaviour is that we can either couple or decouple our thoughts, decision and motor plans from actions. Previous studies have reported evidence of gating of information between intention and action that ... -
Chaos, entanglement, and non-equilibrium dynamics in Hermitian and non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems
Quantum chaos and entanglement have appeared as two key intertwined concepts to characterize fundamental quantum correlations of quantum many-body states and to understand the emergence of thermal and non-thermal steady ... -
Characterization of Brain Signals Across Scales Using Temporally Modulated Visual Stimuli
Electrical signals from the brain can be recorded at several different scales, ranging from spiking activity to local field potential (LFP) in animals to scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) in humans. Each signal represents ... -
Characterization of Quality Factors of Superconducting Resonators
Superconducting lumped element resonators play a pivotal role in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) architectures, serving both as protective filters that isolate qubits from environmental noise and as sensitive probes ... -
Characterization, properties and dynamics of squeezed states: single mode and multimode systems
Squeezed states of the quantized electromagnetic field, as well as the squeezing phenomenon in the more general quantum mechanical context, have been topics of enormous interest recently. In addition to a very large number ...
