Project Experiences

* Sensitivity Analysis of FAO-56 Penman Monteith ET estimates to climate variables in     Indian conditions using Level-1, Level-2 analysis: (currently going) Guide: Dr. N. Lakshman (Dept. of Hydraulics and Mechanics, NITK Surathkal) The purpose of the project is to perform Sensitivity analysis on Penman Monteith equation using data collected from stations all over India covering various climatic conditions. Use of this analysis will help in assessing the contribution of variables to output variability. The results of these evaluations will help to determine both the uncertainty in model predictions and the input variables that give rise to this uncertainty. After completion of Level-1 and Level-2 analysis the Monte Carlo simulation will also be performed. * Risk and Reliability Analysis of Rubble Mound Break Water Structures on the Western Ghats of India using Monte Carlo Simulation: - (2005-2006)

Guide: Dr. N. Lakshman (Dept. of Hydraulics and Mechanics, NITK Surathkal) The Risk and Reliability Analysis of Break Water Structures using Monte Carlo Simulation was performed. FORM, ASMM and Monte Carlo Simulation was performed using Mat lab 7.1 and Simlab. The project helped me in understanding the level of accuracy involved using all the methods. It also helped me in analyzing the Risk associated due to variation of various parameters that are involved in the construction of break water structures.

* Detailed study of Tehri Dam and its effect on society and Environment: - (July 2005) Guide: Mr. R.K. Sharma (MD, Tehri Hydro Development Project, JP Groups) The project was in construction stages and after completion will be World’s 3rd biggest Earthen and Rock fill dam. The project helped me in understanding the practical parameters, difficulties and working of hydraulic structures. Apart from studying the details of structure I also assisted the Field engineers in various tasks and helped in solving on-field problems. This also improved my insight in the problems relating to designing of the structure and then constructing it. Working with various people in this multipurpose project also improved my ability to work in groups. * Building a Straw Flyover: - (January 2005) This challenging real life problem statement was given in Annual Techfest of IIT-Mumbai where the participants were required to construct a Flyover from Straw and Pins and various constraints in design were given. The winning entry was the structure having maximum ratio of weight at failure to weight of structure. The project helped me in the application part of theoretical knowledge to a practical problem. This also improved my Team working skills as each of us was assigned a definite task. I was the Project Leader and my task was to design the structure. Over 200 Teams participated throughout India. Our Team in end stood 10th overall.
