• Proficient in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

• Proficient in 3D and 2D CAD modeling using CAE design and analysis tools.

• Keen interest in design, modeling and simulations. WORK EXPERIENCE

• Prometheus Applied Technologies, Fort Collins, CO, USA July 2015-Present Simulation Specialist

Design and evaluate Prechamber spark plugs (PCP) for Internal Combustion (IC) engines utilizing high-fidelity combustion CFD and thermal FEA models.

Lead a project through product life cycle from concept to production including validation.

Based on the customers’ needs, create the simulation strategy for each project and delegate responsibility to each team member.

Validate and/or predict the thermal load by conducting a complex conjugate heat transfer analysis between the CFD and thermal FEA simulations.

Perform full cycle analysis including generating the 3D models for CFD and thermal FEA analysis, meshing, simulation, post-processing, documenting results and developing reports.

Prepare manufacturing drawings with appropriate GD&T and tolerance stack up analysis.

Perform various bench test analyses including creating the experimental platforms and test plans and performing theoretical calculations to validate the simulation physics.

Research and provide engineering support to the team, train new recruits in combustion CFD, thermal FEA, CAD modeling, lab testing, and company policies and procedures.

Successfully designed several PCPs achieving up to 3% points increase in break thermal efficiency for various IC engines including high speed race engines, off-highway truck engines, large bore marine engines, and industrial power generation engines.

• University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Jan 2015-March 2015 Graduate Student Researcher

Analyzed the effects of 3-D electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) flow over a heated flat plate using Star CCM+ to estimate the effectiveness and design of an EHD cooling apparatus.

Achieved a reduction in boundary layer over the flat plate, resulting in higher velocity flow and increased heat transfer across the plate.

EDUCATION

SKILLS

• Technical Skills - Converge CFD SolidWorks Fluent Ansys Workbench Star CCM+ SolidEdge AutoDesk Inventor MATLAB FORTRAN Python MS Office Machining Soldering PROJECTS

• Computer aided drawing (CAD) - Designed several 3-D CAD models including, but not limited to, electrolytic fuel cell casing, wind turbine blade, Tool head of a shaper, and plumber block.

• Fluid Mechanics – Using Ansys Fluent analyzed supersonic flow over diamond-wedge airfoil to extract performance parameters like lift, drag and skin friction coefficients. Investigated steady, unsteady and turbulent flow over various objects including flow over a cylinder, a NACA 0012 airfoil, a wind turbine blade, and a backward facing step.

• Modeling and finite element analysis - Used Ansys to perform the structural FEA analysis of a pair of Forks for a standard Class II Fork lift carriage having a lifting capacity of 4000 Lbs. Recommended the design, dimensions and the material to be used for the fork, based on cost of manufacturing. https://www.linkedin.com/in/supreethnarasimhamurthy/
