Ph.D. (Engg): Splashing of impacting drops on rigid and flexible superhydrophobic surfaces

STC Seminar Hall, Dept. of Aerospace Engineering

Understanding droplet impact dynamics on superhydrophobic (SHP) surfaces is crucial for exploiting their exceptional liquid-repellent properties in various industrial applications. Studies on high-velocity droplet impacts on SHP surfaces, particularly under splashing conditions, are of significant importance for applications such as anti-icing and erosion protection of turbine blades. This thesis presents an experimental investigation of splashing […]

Ph.D. (Engg): A Slotted Wing Configuration for STOL Applications

Online

The rapid development of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has led to the emergence of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with many current concepts relying on tilt-rotor or other complex propulsion-conversion mechanisms to achieve vertical take-off and landing followed by efficient forward flight. While these configurations provide the required operational flexibility, the mechanical complexity […]

Magneto-Active Solids for Adaptive Structures: Can Magnetic Fields Control Elastic Waves?

Magneto-active solids couple their mechanical response to externally applied magnetic fields, providing a promising route toward remotely tunable materials and structures. Such functionality is particularly attractive for aerospace applications involving vibration isolation, adaptive structures, sensing, and elastic-wave control. However, exploiting this coupling requires understanding a fundamental question: when does a magnetic field actually modify elastic-wave […]
