Primary Skills/Experience:
CAD Software Utilization Produced 3d models and assemblies of seals for gas turbines, heat exchangers using SolidWorks Created geometric dimensions using equations and linked values for parametric design studies and complex curve generation using SolidWorks and Creo Parametric. Extracted/created fluid volume for CFD analysis of internal/external flows using ANSYS Design Modeler and SolidWorks. Solid Mechanics and FEA Preprocessed CAD geometries using ANSYS Meshing. Analyzed stresses in turbines disks of nonuniform thickness via analytical and FEM (ANSYS). Identified the optimum geometric parameters by examining the stresses and displacements. Conducted research on effectively modeling material, geometric and contact non-linearities with focus on friction and contact forces between parts in an assembly. Utilized adaptive mesh simulations, symmetrical boundary conditions and sub-modeling for efficient solutions and time-reduction. Fluid dynamics and CFD Investigated various turbulence models to determine an appropriate model (K-Omega and SST) for fluid between a spinning disk and a very low clearance seal. Streamlined solid-fluid interaction analysis of a compliant seal, high pressure (120 psi) compressed gas, and a high speed disk (25K RPM) employing ANSYS Mechanical-CFX. Designed and simulated heat exchanger using Fluent's 'Heat Exchanger Tool'. Prepared CHT (conjugate heat transfer) CFD model for Swagelok KEV series annular heater. Gained theoretical and numerical based understanding of various external and internal flows, including compressible, supersonic, airfoil and flows around blunt bodies.
