Boundary layer adaptivity for turbulent flows
Research
Project sponsored by NASA
Projects
Finding new combinations of error indicators using physical and
numerical information of the flow domain to adapt the meshes for better
results, with an emphasis on turbulent boundary layers.
Parallel anisotropic boundary layer adaptivity
Project sponsored by KAPL
Adapting flow domain mesh with mesh boundary layers, based on error
indicator information from flow solution to get meshes with better
resolution, scaling to large number of processors.
Improving mass conservation of the level set method in PHASTA
Programming hyperbolic tangent level set in PHASTA flow solver to get
better mass conservation.
Admittance Boundary Conditions
Project sponsored by KAPL
Masters thesis, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY
Modification of the inflow boundary condition for a cut domain such that
missing domain is accounted for, using explicit and implicit approaches,
to reduce cost of simulation.
Applications of wavelets in turbulence analysis
Ansys Fluent, India
Implemented different wavelet transforms for multi resolution analysis of
turbulence and coherent vortex extraction using C.
Complexity of product design and cost of manufacturing
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India
Attempted setting up a relation between complexity of products and their
cost of production. Also an attempt was made to quantify complexity of
product design.
