Internship, Research & Development, Dentsply Sirona September 2018- December 2018

• Conceptual designing and 3D modelling using Solidworks & Creo for product development. Involved in the development of medical devices – research & development and in scientific analysis & investigation. In the initial phase of product development 3D printed models were used for analysis and testing.

• Performing experimentations and testing on the designed product and did thermal/flow analysis (CFD simulation) to optimize the overall product design. FEA analysis done to test the structural strength of the product. LabView program was made for experimentation and ANSYS was used for the simulations.

• Carrying out tasks accurately and following strict methodologies to carry out analysis by performing laboratory test, recording/interpreting data and making report to discuss in weekly meetings. Statistical and probability tools were used for interpreting and analyzing the data.

Graduate Research Student, Aerodynamic Research Center, UTA January 2016- August 2018

• Involved in writing and working with CFD/FEA codes in C/C++, FORTRAN. Used commercial CFD/FEA simulation software

(ANSYS, COMSOL, ABAQUS, OpenFOAM and STARCCM+) for problems such as aerodynamics, aeroelastic, fuel injection and mixing, combustion with full chemical kinetics, dynamic loading & vibrations, stress & strain prediction, internal/external flow, turbulent flow modelling (RANS and LES), boundary layer problems.

• Expertise in solving the PDE’s and have worked with Adaptive Mesh Refinement code written in C++, FORTRAN and Python to apply WENO-CD and integrating CANTERA for combustion simulations (using detailed chemical kinetics of Hydrogen- Oxygen and CH4-Oxygen) to study the flow physics of detonation phenomenon. Used OpenFOAM for 2D CFD simulation of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) using k-ω SST turbulent model for better understanding of flame propagation, Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability and stability of the DDT system. Most of the simulations were run on TACC supercomputer and HPC.

• Analyzed the performance of IC engine, using 1D simulations in GT-Power and 3D CFD Simulation in ANSYS Fluent were carried out for engine system design and combustion chamber. Hands-on experience with IC engine diagnosis, testing and maintenance/repair.

• Performed a theoretical cycle analysis of ZND cycle (for detonation engine) to calculate and analyse the thermal efficiency with pre-compression conditions and comparing it with Brayton cycle, Diesel cycle, Otto cycle.

• I have also been actively involved with experimental work on engines. Worked with team to build the Pulse Detonation Engine

(which is similar to IC engine), designed the cooling system including sizing and selection of radiator for the engine and did 1D/3D analysis using GT-Suite/ANSYS (Fluent), Solidworks as CAD tool to improve the engine cooling system design.

• High speed DAQ and LabView is used to collect pressure and force data, which is analyzed with the help of code written in MATLAB. Catia v5 was used to design wind tunnel test parts/assembly for mounting in test chamber, 2D drawing of parts were made using GD&T technique and manufactured in CNC machines. Graduate Research Assistant, Aerodynamic Research Center, UTA April 2017- September 2017

• Worked for Fortune 200 company under NDA. 1D/3D CFD simulation on cooling system and combustion with full chemical kinetics of proprietary fuel-oxidizer using GT-POWER & Fluent (in ANSYS) were performed for different complex geometry to analyze, test and optimize the product.

• Experiments were conducted for which I used high speed DAQ, LabView and MATLAB/Simulink to validate the performance and improving the overall system and have also developed a cost-effective method for measuring high speed piston motion. AIAA MSTC Graduate Student Missile Design Competition, First Place Award 2016-2017

• The Mission requirement was to intercept the HGV cruising between Mach 12 to 15 at altitudes ranging from 120 to 140 kft. I was part of a team of four to represent the UTA. I was in-charge of propulsion system design and had calculated theoretical propellant performance of various fuel-oxidizer to design a boost-sustainer type solid rocket motor. Ammonium perchlorate was used as a fuel-oxidizer for boost phase with trumpet star shape grain design aiming to boost to Mach 5.6 and Ammonium dinitramide was used as a fuel-oxidizer for sustainer phase with end burning motor design.

• MATLAB code was written to simulate grain burning and analysing the thrust profile to make a trade study for sizing the motor to meet the mission requirements. 6-DOF Simulink model was made to do the trajectory analysis with control module and propulsion module

Formula-SAE, IIITDMJ Jabalpur 2014-2015

• Pioneered the inception and formation of IIITDMJ Racing to participate in FSAE competition. As a Team Captain and Chief Engineer, I led a team of 30 students to successfully design, analyze, manufacture, test and market a FSAE car. Reviewed and guided all the members in overall design and development of the FSAE car. Responsible for overall coordination of team design activities and for team relations with the institute, the competition organizers, and the sponsors.

• Managed all phases of the design process for a multitude of components, parts and assemblies, including drafting, dimensioning, tolerancing (GD&T), prototyping and documenting results.

• Worked with team, to design the FSAE car, modelled various parts and assemblies using 3D CAD software (Catia v5 & Solidworks), identified and escalated potential manufacturing challenges by enforcing DFMA principles.

• Assisted team in manufacturing wheel hub, bushing, brake rotor and differential housing using CNC milling, lathe and water jet machine. 3D printed the engine intake plenum and helped in welding steel chassis using TIG welding machine.

• As a Team head for engine development, designed and analyzed the intake/exhaust system, engine cooling system and piston head of the 599 CC IC engine to improve the engines performance in the desired operating range as per the requirement. 1D analysis of engine was performed using GT-Power and 3D CFD simulation were performed for engine cooling system, radiator using ANSYS (Fluent, CFX) to meet the desired performance of the engine. 3D CFD simulations were carried out for piston head design using ANSYS (Fluent and IC Engine) to model the turbulence, combustion and mixing of fuel air.

• Computational fluid dynamic simulations (ANSYS Fluent) were performed to optimize the plenum, intake and exhaust system of engine as per the RFP.

• Hands-on experience in working on dyno testing, fuel efficiency test and emission test. CANDU Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR), Research Intern, IIITDM Jabalpur August 2014- March 2015

• The major work is confined on modifying the thermal-hydraulic in-house code written in FORTRAN for various test condition and to the analysis of single channel in-phase and out-of-phase mode of Density Wave Oscillations (DWOs) operating at supercritical conditions, the analysis of single channel mode of DWOs was carried out using 1-D nonlinear equation which are solved using CFD techniques and the point kinetics equations were solved using the numerical techniques programmed in FORTRAN, to study heat transfer effects (film boiling condition), flow characteristics and to analyse the instability of CANDU SCWR and acquire the effect of various parameters on its marginal stability boundary.
