(author)Power Doppler (PD) imaging has become a staple in high frame rate ultrasound imaging due to its ability to image small vessels and slow-moving flows, such as in the case of imaging blood flow in the brain. Alternatively, color Doppler (CD) can be used to determine the one-dimensional directional information of the blood scatterers. This can help...conference paper 2020

Kumar, Kavisha (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)In this paper, we review state of the art 3D visualization technologies for floods and we focus on the Netherlands since it has a long history of dealing with floods and developing information technology solutions to prevent and predict them. We discuss the most recent advances in using 3D city models for modelling floods and discuss future...conference paper 2018

Kumar, V. (author), Savenije, F.J. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Increasing demands in decentralized power plants have focused attention on Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). However, accessing high range of power from VAWTs is an impediment due to increased loads on the turbine blades. Here, we derive an optimal pitching action that reduces the periodic disturbance on turbine blades of VAWTs without...conference paper 2018

Maity, Soumen (author), Phulwari, Pankaj (author), Rathi, Vaibhav (author), Chandran, Krishna (author), Sekhar, Achu (author), Kumar, Avinash (author), Banerjee, Abhijit (author)Ahmedabad is the largest city in the state of Gujarat and the 5th largest in India in terms of population. It is one of the most important economic and industrial hubs in India. Additionally it is one of the fastest growing cities in India, leading to large infrastructural projects including metro rail and river front. Construction is also...conference paper 2017

Kumar, Kavisha (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Commandeur, T.J.F. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)Road traffic and industrial noise has become a major source of discomfort and annoyance among the residents in urban areas. More than 44 % of the EU population is regularly exposed to road traffic noise levels over 55 dB, which is currently the maximum accepted value prescribed by the Environmental Noise Directive for road traffic...conference paper 2017

Kumar, Kavisha (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)In addition to buildings, the terrain forms an important part of a 3D city model. Although in GIS terrains are usually represented with 2D grids, TINs are also increasingly being used in practice. One example is 3DTOP10NL, the 3D city model covering the whole of the Netherlands, which stores the relief with a constrained TIN containing more than...conference paper 2016

Kumar, Kavisha (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)Point cloud data are an important source for 3D geoinformation. Modern day 3D data acquisition and processing techniques such as airborne laser scanning and multi-beam echosounding generate billions of 3D points for simply an area of few square kilometers. With the size of the point clouds exceeding the billion mark for even a small area,...conference paper 2016

We perform renormalization group analysis (RG) of the Navier-Stokes equation in the presence of constant mean velocity field $\mathbf U_0$, and show that the renormalized viscosity is unaffected by $\mathbf U_0$, thus negating the ``sweeping effect", proposed by Kraichnan [Phys. Fluids {\bf 7}, 1723 (1964)] using random Galilean invariance....conference paper 2015

We construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as $k^{-11/5}$. However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are...conference paper 2015

We study energy transfers during magnetic energy growth in small-scale and large-scale dynamos. We perform direct numerical simulations for magnetic Prandtl number Pm =20 and 0.2 in a periodic box on 1024^3 grid. Energy fluxes and shell-to-shell energy transfers indicate that in small-scale dynamo for Pm =20, the magnetic energy growth takes...conference paper 2015

Kumar, A. (author), Blacquiere, G. (author), Pedersen, M.W. (author), Goertz, A. (author)Despite a tremendous leap in efficiency and wave field sampling over the last two decades, it is sometimes still difficult to achieve adequate coverage and resolution with marine streamer acquisition. It is therefore necessary to carefully study the acquisition geometry, especially with respect to resolution and image quality in the cross-line...conference paper 2015

Kumar, A. (author), Blacquiere, G. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)Recent advances in survey design have led to conventional common-midpoint-based analysis being replaced by the subsurface-based seismic acquisition analysis and design, with the emphasis on advance techniques of illumination analysis. Amongst them are wave-equation-based seismic illumination analyses such as the so-called focal beam method. The...conference paper 2014

Kumar, D. (author), Sharma, A.R. (author), Goyal, T. (author), Shyam, V. (author), Mohite, P.M. (author), Kamle, S. (author)Flapping wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) have the advantage of being able to fly at slow speeds and have high maneuverability. The design of a flapping wing MAV inspired by birds presents many technical challenges because birds as natural fliers exhibit higher efficiency than any man made flapping wing structure. Thus, the structure and motion of...conference paper 2014
