Specific modal and non-modal mechanisms (flow coherences) in fluid flows, associated with distinct time and length scales, govern important flow phenomena, e.g., laminar-to-turbulent transition, turbulent drag, and flow separation. Consequently, […]
Transonic shock buffet, a self-sustained shock oscillation resulting from shock-boundary layer interaction, is observed across a range of operating points on the performance map of a transonic axial flow fan. Shock […]
Indian Space Programme: has been a catalyst for advanced research, technological innovation and space exploration in the country. Scientific data from ISRO’s earth observation, lunar and planetary exploration missions are […]
The Department of Aerospace Engineering, IISc, is excited to invite you to AERES 2025—a premier Aerospace Research Students’ Symposium. This 4-day event brings together MTech and PhD students from IISc and other […]
Layered structural components, such as laminated composites and those made via Additive Manufacturing (AM), are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their various advantages. The layer-wise approach […]
In this work, a novel sub-mesoscale model of woven fabrics is developed using nonlinear finite element methods. The main aim of the work is to develop a framework for modeling […]
Swirl is used in modern gas turbine combustor nozzles to achieve reliable flame stabilization and efficient fuel-air mixing. The swirl component in the nozzle jet flow induces an axial vortex. […]
The aerodynamic shape of an aircraft plays a critical role in its performance. Aerodynamic Shape Optimization (ASO) modifies the shape to achieve desired performance metrics, such as reduced drag or […]
Fiber Metal Laminates are materials that combine metal properties with Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) to improve mechanical performance. This research investigates the impact of core metal type and thickness on […]
With the climate change becoming as one of the main challenges for human existence, every sector has to contribute in reducing its climate footprint. Being an international and hard to […]
The global thrust towards the development of hypersonic cruise systems for various applications is leading towards slender configurations with lifting and control surfaces which are thin and complaint and face […]
Autonomous agents are increasingly being used to solve many tasks, deemed complex by humans, with ease and effectiveness. Two such applications are in defense scenarios and in coverage. This thesis, […]
