Began: March 1994        Completed: 1997

Deliverable: A computer program  to  compute  snow  speeds,  snow depths, mass-flow-rates, run-out distances, and temperatures,  of avalanches, given the initial conditions and terrain information.

2.

Co-Investigator, with G.Biswas (PI), S. Kohli, and T.Sunderajan.

Research project for BHEL, Bhopal, "Computation othe three-dimensional  flow in  the  spiral casing of a turbine".

Duration: 2 years (extended by one year)
Began: June 1993               Completed: 1996
 

Deliverable: A computer program to  solve  the  three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (with  turbulence  modelling)  using  the finite-element method, for the flow in the turbine casing.

3.

Principal  Investigator,  with  K.Muralidhar,   S.G.Dhande, and G.Biswas.

Research project  for  DRDL,  Hyderabad. "Numerical Simulation  of  unsteady  three-dimensional  flow  around  a bluff body".

Duration: 2 years.       
Began: May 1995

Deliverable: A finite-volume computer program, designed  for  use on parallel computers, which solves the  Navier-Stokes  equations for the flow  around  a bluff body.

4.

Principal  Investigator,  with  A.K.Mallik and G.Biswas

Consultancy project  for  BHEL, Bhopal,  "Development of Software for the Analysis of Pelton Wheel Buckets".

Duration: 15 months
Began: May 1998
 

Deliverable: A computer program to solve particle dynamics equations for the flow striking a Pelton wheel bucket  with  complex  surface features. The Force, Torque, and Power generated on given bucket designs are to be comparatively assessed by the use of the program.

5.

Principal  Investigator,  with  K.Muralidhar
Research project  for  DST, "Development of a Parallel Linear-Equations Solver for Computational Fluid Dynamics".
Duration: 3 years
Sanctioned: March 1998
Deliverable: A general subroutines package incorporating the most modern linear equations solution techniques is to be designed for parallel  computers.
