Academic Projects

CFD Evaluation of wind flow condition between two prisms of the identical model by varying the width using LES

●Project mainly dealt about the turbulence created around the prisms by the wind flow

●A large eddy simulation CFD model based on the compressible flow equations were used to simulate the wind fields around the prisms

●Modeled two identical prisms which were placed side by side and the flow analysis is done to study the behavior of the fluid around the two buildings

●Observed the behavior of the micro air vehicle when it enters the urban areas

●Analysis was done using Ansys Fluent and the mesh was generated using Pointwise v17 software

Cooling system for a Turbo fan engine using vortex tube

●The project dealt with the idea of using vortex tubes as a cooling system for the aircraft gas turbine engine

●Designed a Turbofan Engine by pass duct with turbine blades in CATIA software and placed the vortex tube near that for the analysis

●Performed fluent analysis using K epsilon cfd model equations in order to analyze the flow in vortex tube

●Observed the velocity and the temperature contours of the vortex tube according to the duct conditions

Powder stream characteristics in cold spray

The main objective of the project was to see the behavior of the flow when it was sprayed
