• Modeled a 2D adiabatic, planar co-flow methane/air diffusion flame using FlameMaster

• Generated flamelet tables for different scalar dissipation rates

• Analyzed for laminar and turbulent flow conditions using irreversible and 72-step mechanism

• Determined the temperature distribution in the domain using the different methods Numerical Analysis of an unsteady 2-D Flow driven by an external force of periodic nature May 2016

• Obtained a numerical solution for the system by solving Navier Stokes equation using a Fractional Step Algorithm.

• Performed a GCI analysis to find the maximum velocity magnitude at a point within a specified time interval. CFD Modeling and Heat Transfer on a Thermosiphon using ANSYS FLUENT May 2016

• Used a VOF model to determine the flow characteristics and Temperature & Velocity Vectors.

• Performed CFD analysis to determine the performance of the heat pipe for varied inputs to the evaporator section of the Thermosiphon Develop a simple analysis tool for basic parametric studies of ramjet propulsion performance December 2015

• Use this to examine how ramjet performance varies across a range of key parameters.

• Analyze the performance of a non- ideal ramjet propulsion system Flow Visualization around Airfoils presented at 10TH PSFVIP conference in Naples, Italy June 2015

• The work presents visualization of low Reynolds number flow around airfoils, NACA0012 and NACA23012, using Hele-Shaw apparatus

• The study was focused on the variation of stream surface contour as it moved past airfoils at different angles of attack and pressure heads. For each airfoil, at the stalling angle, the genesis of a bubble had been captured. EXPERIENCE
