Thesis title: 'Experimental Investigation of Instabilities in Pipe Flow'

Supervisor: Dr. Debopam Das

In this project, I designed and fabricated an experimental setup to investigate the evolution of instabilities in pipe and annular pipe flows at Dr. Debopam Das' Unsteady Aerodynamics Lab. Trapezoidal velocity profile was simulated using a controlled piston movement. Onset of instabilities were observed during the decelerating phase of flow as inflection velocity profile was generated. It was found that these instabilities grow with time and evolution of turbulent flow takes place depending on flow parameters. As a part of the work, Time Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-PIV) analysis was done to study the structures formed in unstable flow. Analytical solution, proposed by Das & Arakeri (1998) and by Ashok (2012), was also verified and found to be in agreement with experimental results.

This work was presented in International Conference on Theoretical, Applied, Computational and Experimental Mechanics at IIT Kharagpur (December 2017).
