Main Objective: The project aims at standardization and value enhancement of Selected Grassroots Innovations comprising of Low cost bamboo wind mill, Kouna mat-weaving machine and low cost sugarcane harvester.

To find the blast wave profile and the mass flow generated inside the shock tube being installed in TBRL Chandigarh for pressure ratio varying from 3 to 30. Optimization of driver section length to obtain the Fried lander waveform using numerical simulation. The interaction of shock/blast wave diffracted at the open end of the shock tube with curved plates, cone and rectangular geometries.

The main objective is to examine the wake flow field of the cylinder by varying the FST by screens and Reynolds numbers. The near and far field wake characteristics are examined through fluctuating velocity measurements, turbulence statistics and sectional flow visualizations.
