. Explosions in coal mines, metal-processing facilities, and other industrial settings occur with alarming regularity, while reactive metal particles are being considered for energy-storage and propulsion applications. Despite a long […]
Chemical kinetic mechanism development and validation require quantitative species data from canonical flames. Burner-stabilized pre -mixed flames provide a stationary post-flame region directly comparable to one-dimensional kinetic simulations. Ex-situ gas […]
The need to decarbonize power generation and aviation has established hydrogen as a promising fuel for next generation gas turbine combustion systems. However, its high chemical reactivity significantly increases the […]
Tailless UAVs are stealthy, high-subsonic configurations used for deep penetration into contested airspace. These configurations have wing with moderate leading edge sweep angle with no definite fuselage and lack both […]
Acoustic tones in the near field of a Mach 0.9, Reynolds number 10^6 round jet are investigated using large-eddy simulations (LES) performed with the explicit filtering LES (EFLES) approach. The […]
Particle tracking in turbulent jets is essential for an accurate Lagrangian understanding of jet flows. While parallel algorithms and numerical schemes to compute flow fields can be scaled to a […]
A body of revolution spinning in a fluid drives an inherently three-dimensional boundary layer, in which a centrifugally driven secondary circulation lifts the layer off the surface and a centrifugal […]
Turbulence remains one of the outstanding problems of classical physics, and one that has challenged physicists and engineers alike for decades, even centuries. The fusion of classical approaches and tools […]
National Engineers' Day commemorates the legacy of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, whose vision and engineering leadership helped lay foundations for India's technological development. From civil infrastructure and water resource management to […]
Hypersonic flight represents a major frontier in aerospace engineering, with its realization requiring a fundamental understanding of coupled chemical and fluid dynamic processes across multiple environments. Of particular importance are […]
Reconnaissance is the contest for information about a territory: one side tries to observe an asset or a guarded area, the other tries to deny it. Low-cost drones have made […]
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 […]
