This comprehensive document is exclusively prepared to highlight the major programmes of ISRO and the current and upcoming Research and Development requirements. As you may be aware, ISRO is embarking upon many new areas of Science and Technology by taking up challenging technological assignments incessantly. In this important task of National Importance, ISRO is looking for wider participation and contributions from academia in a focused manner for timely accomplishments of its goals. In view of this, the concept of ISRO Academia day is brought out. The main aim behind this is to showcase the emerging research and development areas of ISRO, so that the faculty of the academic institutions can take up the research projects in the area of their specialization and expertise. A “Research Areas In Space” document has been brought out to enable the interested researchers to choose the topics. The document is split into five major Programmes of ISRO namely Launch Vehicle, Satellite Communications Programme, Earth Observations Programme, Space Science Programme and Meteorology. The document has been compiled and worked out in a precise manner by RESPOND Team, CBPO, ISRO HQs in consultation with the different Centres of ISRO to enable Faculty/ Researchers at Academic Institutions to prepare suitable proposals of relevance to ISRO. I wish all the best and warmly invite academia to come forward and participate in R & D programme of ISRO. P V Venkitakrishnan Director, Capacity Building Programme Office ISRO Head Quarters, Bengaluru Introduction Sponsored Research Programme (RESPOND) under the aegis of Capacity Building Programme Offi ce (CBPO) of ISRO is a unique initiative of the Indian Space Research Organisation to promote Research and Development activities in collaboration with Academia. The main objective of the RESPOND Programme is to establish strong links with academic institutions in the country to carry out research and developmental projects which are of relevance to space programme and hence contribute in various space related activities. Under RESPOND, fi nancial support is provided to Academic Institutions within the country to carry out research projects in a wide range of topics in space technology, space science and space applications. Presently, there are around 186 projects ongoing under RESPOND scheme. Projects are in the areas like rocket and satellite technology, propulsion system design and optimization, aerodynamics and heat transfer problem related to space vehicles, guidance and control for launch vehicles and spacecraft, propellant technology, ultra-light-weight structure, satellite energy systems, space electronics, space communication systems, orbital mechanics, computer sciences and new material development, remote sensing of the earth’s resources: space communication, satellite geodesy image processing, satellite meteorology including weather forecasting, physics of the ionosphere and magnetosphere, meteorology, dynamics of the atmosphere, geophysics, geology, astronomy, cosmology, astrophysics; planetary and interplanetary space physics, climatology etc. To enable faculty of Universities/Institutes to prepare suitable proposals of relevance to Space programme, a detailed list of R&D areas/sub areas/topics/ problems and a brief write up have been provided about major programmes of ISRO and the same has been given in this document “ Research Areas in Space”. The concerned ISRO/DOS centre to be approached by the faculty/researcher is given in the brackets after areas/sub areas/topics/problems. The faculty/ researcher may select a suitable topic/problem and prepare the proposal and submit to the concerned centre/unit for consideration. The proposals may be submitted to the Director of concerned centre as given in Annexure 1. Hope this document highlighting brief outline and possible set of topics for various research themes would help the academia to prepare research proposals under RESPOND programme of ISRO.

The external surface of entry body is exposed to extreme heating rates owing to dissipation of its large kinetic energy. Strong shocks are formed ahead of the entering body increasing the internal energy of entrapped gas. Gas within the shock layer attains very high temperature levels leading to thermochemical non-equilibrium. Gaseous radiation becomes significant in such conditions. Both equilibrium and non-equilibrium air radiation have to be modeled for estimation of radiative heating. Number densities of various chemical species, translational, rotational and vibrational temperatures of heavy particles and electrons are to be evaluated for modeling emission and absorption characteristics of air under these conditions. Available database on radiative properties incorporating spectral absorption and emission behavior of gases at high temperature are to be used. The proposed study should focus on establishing a methodology for evaluation of gas radiation for planetary entries. Comparison of estimated gas radiation levels with available measurements in literature is essential for validation. A1.2 Flow field over a double delta wing configuration (VSSC) Heat flux data for the double delta configuration is important, especially for regions of shock-shock interaction, leeward region flow, base flow, fuselage wing interaction for accurate distribution of TPS and for mass optimization. It is proposed that experimental heat flux measurements on the above region on ISRO’s RLV may be attempted at flow enthalpies of about 2 MJ.kg, M = 6.6, To = 1700 – 1800 K. Diagnostic shall be (a) heat flux (b) liquid crystal thermography/IR thermography (c) Flow visualization. The generated data shall be compared with the predictions, and suggestions

    Dynamic Suspension Modeling of an Eddy-Current Device: an Application to Maglev

    DYNAMIC SUSPENSION MODELING OF AN EDDY-CURRENT DEVICE: AN APPLICATION TO MAGLEV by Nirmal Paudel A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering Charlotte 2012 Approved by: Dr. Jonathan Z. Bird Dr. Yogendra P. Kakad Dr. Robert W. Cox Dr. Scott D. Kelly ii c 2012 Nirmal Paudel ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT NIRMAL PAUDEL. Dynamic suspension modeling of an eddy-current device: an application to Maglev. (Under the direction of DR. JONATHAN Z. BIRD) When a magnetic source is simultaneously oscillated and translationally moved above a linear conductive passive guideway such as aluminum, eddy-currents are in- duced that give rise to a time-varying opposing field in the air-gap. This time-varying opposing field interacts with the source field, creating simultaneously suspension, propulsion or braking and lateral forces that are required for a Maglev system. In this thesis, a two-dimensional (2-D) analytic based steady-state eddy-current model has been derived for the case when an arbitrary magnetic source is oscillated and moved in two directions above a conductive guideway using a spatial Fourier transform technique. The problem is formulated using both the magnetic vector potential, A, and scalar potential, φ. Using this novel A-φ approach the magnetic source needs to be incorporated only into the boundary conditions of the guideway and only the magnitude of the source field along the guideway surface is required in order to compute the forces and power loss.

Impinna* J. Detoni N. Amati Department of Mechanical and Department of Mechanical and Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Politecnico di Torino Politecnico di Torino Politecnico di Torino Torino, Italy Torino, Italy Torino, Italy A. Tonoli Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Politecnico di Torino Torino, Italy Abstract Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are passive magnetic bearings that exploit the interaction between eddy currents developed in a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field to generate forces. Similar to other types of magnetic suspensions, EDBs provide contactless support, thus avoiding problems with lubrication, friction and wear. The most interesting aspect of EDBs is that levitation can be obtained by passive means, hence, no electronic equipment, such as power electronics or sensors, are necessary. Despite their promising characteristics, rotors running on EDBs are still lacking a design procedure; furthermore, at present the static behavior of a bearing can only be defined by means of finite element analyses. The aim of the present paper is to present a methodology that allows performing a first approximation design without resorting to detailed FE analyses. The methodology is based on the use of non-dimensional parameters, similar to the analysis of fluid bearings (Sommerfeld number). The non-dimensional quantities are derived using dimensional analysis, and contain the main geometrical and physical parameters determining the EDBs' performance. The relation between the non-dimensional quantities characterizing the static performance of the EDB is derived using FE simulations and is presented in the form of graphs.

Although lots of efforts have been made in this area, it still remains some space for improvements. Thus the goal of this work is to report a flexible, fast and trustworthy H-formulation finite element model. First the methodology for modeling and calibrating both bulk-type and stack-type SMB is summarized. Then its effectiveness for simulating SMBs in 2-D, 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D is evaluated by comparison with measurements. In particular, original solutions to overcome several obstacles are given: clarification of the calibration procedure for stack-type and bulk-type SMBs, details on the experimental protocol to obtain reproducible measurements, validation of the 2-D model for a stack-type SMB modeling the tapes real thickness, implementation of a 2-D axisymmetric SMB model, implementation of a 3-D SMB model, extensive validation of the models by comparison with experimental results for field cooling and zero field cooling, for both vertical and lateral movements.
