Air Marshal TD Joseph examines aerospace power as a critical instrument of statecraft, highlighting its strategic, coercive, and diplomatic roles in modern conflict and international relations. The latest example is India itself choosing aerospace power as the first instrument of choice to punish the enemy as in ‘Op Sindoor’. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples […]

Gaseous and particulate pollutants pose a significant threat to human health and the environment, prompting regulatory action to address major sources of emissions. Soot is a key particulate pollutant. Recently, emission standards for commercial aeroengines have been revised, necessitating the mitigation of soot emissions. Investigating the soot formation process is a key step towards reducing […]
Bringing together the minds transforming emerging aerospace technologies into operational reality Featured Talks The Stratospheric Challenges for a High-Altitude Platform Dr. L Venkatrakrishnan, Chief Scientist and Program Director – HAP High Altitude Platforms (HAP) or High Altitude Pseudo Satellites which are unmanned aerial vehicles in the stratosphere are the next big challenge with applications […]
Over the past decade, the fluidic pinball has become a valuable benchmarkfor studying flow control strategies. The configuration consists of three independently rotating cylinders positioned at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, with the flow directed perpendicularly to one of its sides. The cylinder rotation rates serve as the control inputs, while velocity sensors located […]
This talk presents a comprehensive overview of advanced fluidic and thermal management strategies across biomedical and defense applications. We begin with a systematic evaluation of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), specifically addressing the challenges of simultaneous velocity and particle size measurement. By analyzing Gaussian intensity variations across the light sheet and the optical system’s depth of […]
A mathematical framework is presented to guide the search for Rayleigh waves in lattice materials based on periodic structure theory and the Bloch theorem. Architected materials with a periodic microstructure are distinguished from crystals in continuum anisotropic elasticity by the presence of at least one length scale and a band structure with partial and complete […]
The increasing demand for lightweight, multifunctional structures in aerospace and civil engineering applications has driven significant interest in hyperelastic composite laminates. These materials, capable of undergoing large deformations while maintaining structural integrity, are particularly suited for deployable space structures, high altitude airships, inflatable antennas, and tensile fabric architectures. However, accurate prediction of their mechanical behavior […]
Due to increased human activity in the last two decades, near-earth space has become congested from functional/non-functional satellites and space debris. These space objects of human origin, along with natural asteroids and space weather, pose natural, accidental, or intentional threats to functional and expensive satellites. It is imperative to track space assets continuously as well […]
Fluid flows in nature and engineering exhibit a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This talk presents two problems across this range: compressible turbulence in channel flows and large-scale vorticity dynamics in the tropical atmosphere. The first part of the talk focuses on compressible turbulence, which plays a key role in many aerospace flows, […]
Abstract: Games with asymmetric information involve situations where one player possesses knowledge that the other player does not. This is particularly evident in military engagements, where the “fog of war” plays a critical role in the decision-making process. In such scenarios, two distinct behaviors can be observed. The more informed player tends to adopt deceptive […]
