Joseph Mathew, Chair and Professor, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science   Abstract: The first part is on the LES method that we have used and understood over the past two decades with a sequence of theses beginning with incompressible, variable density, compressible subsonic and then supersonic flows with shocks.  The method will […]

Abstract: This presentation will aim at highlighting and discussing the following important peculiarity of combustion of lean hydrogen-air mixtures. High molecular diffusivity of hydrogen can result in significant local variations in mixture composition, temperature, fuel consumption and heat release rates due to imbalance of molecular fluxes of chemical and thermal energies to and from stretched […]

Abstract Unmanned aircraft systems are gradually penetrating into civil aviation, sharing airspace with manned aircraft. Safely is of paramount importance in future mixed aviation environment. Research has been carried out in addressing mid-air safety such as see and avoid, and safe separation, but much less on terminal operation and active contingence management. This talk focuses […]
