Numerical Study of Accelerating Turbulent Boundary Layers
This thesis focuses on the prediction of favourable pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer flows. Particularly, the focus is on mild favourable pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers and relaminarising turbulent ... -
Codes With Combined Locality and Regeneration Having Optimal Minimum Distance and Linear Field Size
This thesis presents error correcting codes in the setting of distributed storage. The codes presented in this thesis are optimal with respect to the minimum distance bound and have a finite field size which grows ... -
A non-classical continuum approach to study the fragmentation of brittle solids
In this thesis, a non-local continuum approach coupled with the phase-field theory and Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state (EOS) is proposed to model and simulate blast-induced fracture in brittle materials. Also, ... -
Characterization and Modelling of Switching Dynamics of SiC MOSFETs
Silicon Carbide MOSFETs (SiC MOSFETs) fall into the class of wide band gap (WBG) power devices. These devices are commercially available in the voltage range of 600-3300V and superior over the state of the art Si insulated ... -
Synthesis and Studies of Covalent Polydiacetylene Glycopolymers as Scaffolds to Uncover Intricate Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions
Overall, the Thesis work establishes: • Monomeric and multimeric ligand-lectin interactions occurring at cell surfaces that could be assessed using purified protein and cellular model system, namely, glycovesicles; • ... -
Studies on Mono- and Multi-valent Ion Storage Using Metal Phosphosulfide and Organic Carbonyl Compounds
The present study describes the results on inorganic and organic materials for energy storage and sensors. It contains eight chapters including introduction, experimental and summary sections. The first chapter gives ... -
Design of Increasing Block Tariff (IBT) for Pricing Domestic Water: A Simulation Approach
In recent times, urban water utilities have shown increasing preference for increasing block tariff (IBT) for pricing domestic water. Although appealing at the outset, IBT’s can fall short of achieving its goals such as ... -
Monitoring and Control of Intermittent Water Distribution Network
Millions of people in low and middle-income countries worldwide receive water only for a small fraction of the time in a day through piped networks. Even though the percentage of the world’s population with access to piped ... -
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cellular cooperation in cancer progression: Novel roles for AMPK
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program hijacked by cancer cells to facilitate metastasis —a multi-step process involving the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor site and culminating ... -
Underwater Acoustic Communications: Algorithms for Delay-Scale Spread Wideband Channels
In wideband wireless communication systems, the relative motion of the transmitter, receiver, or scatterers in the medium causes the Doppler effect, which stretches or compresses the transmitted waveforms, resulting in ... -
Comparative Analysis of Topological Structures
Measuring scientific processes result in a set of scalar functions (scalar fields) which may be related temporally, be part of an ensemble, or unrelated. Overall understanding and visualization of scientific processes ... -
Study on optical and electrical transport properties of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, where dissimilar atomically thin vdW crystals are vertically assembled, have initiated a new paradigm to create flexible multifunctional devices. Despite the weak nature of vdW ... -
Enabling Lithium Metal Anode for Garnet Electrolyte based Solid State Batteries
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMB) employing inorganic solid electrolytes (ISE) in conjunction with lithium metal anode and intercalation cathode are considered among the most promising alternatives for Li-ion ... -
Multi-connectivity for Urllc and Coexistence with Embb in Time-varying and Fading Channels
Ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) is a novel use case of 5G. It has challenging requirements like such as low block error rates (BLERs) and stringent latency targets. Multi-connectivity, in which multiple ... -
Boolean Functional Synthesis using Gated Continuous Logic Networks
Boolean Functional Synthesis (BFS) is a well-known challenging problem in the domain of automated program synthesis from logical specifications. This problem aims to synthesize a Boolean function that is correct-by-construction ... -
Understanding Catchment Scale Processes: Hydrological Modelling and Information-Theoretic Approaches
