Project Title: Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent flow over a wall-mounted hump
• Large Eddy simulation (LES) technique employed for aerodynamic analysis of turbulent flow over a
wall-mounted hump
• Investigated wall-modeling, a technique that makes large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flow
computationally cost efficient for practical industrial applications
• Validation of the wall modeling capability of the in-house CFD solver GenIDLEST
! Intern, Thermax India Ltd, Pune, India (January 2012 - June 2012)
(A USD 1.05 Billion Company)
Department: Product development, Cooling & Heating services division
Project Title: Design and development of High Pressure Condensate Recovery System (HPCRS)
• Completed the design, CAD modeling and prototype testing of the Thermax Automatic Pump trap
• Carried out the feasibility calculations of replacing a conventional steam recovery system with
HPCRS through thermodynamic cycle analysis
• Performed design calculations of the condensate recovery tank as per Indian Boiler Regulations
! Summer Intern, Tarapur Atomic Power Station (TAPS), India (May 2010 – July 2010)
• Performed a study of the Emergency Diesel Generators used to power the Boiler Feed Pump in
the event of a grid failure.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
! Global Collaborative Engineering Design Project (2013)
• Re-design of GM concept car ENV 2.0 to suit urban commuter needs for the Chinese market for
the year 2030
• Designed the exterior for the vehicle using NX 8.0 through active collaboration with the sub-
team involved in vehicle structure design
• Project accomplished through collaboration between team members at five universities across
four different continents
! Numerical Simulation of flow in a Lid Driven Cavity (2013)
• A custom code was written in Fortran to solve for the flow in a two dimensional square lid driven
cavity using the Finite Volume Method
• Performed code verification study
• Detailed study of effects of varying Reynolds number, Mesh sizes etc. were made
! Heat Transfer Augmentation for flow in a pipe (2013)
• Studied the heat transfer augmentation for a pipe flow through introduction of geometrical features
inside the pipe using ANSYS CFX
• The shape of the geometrical feature was decided based on a balance between heat transfer
augmentation and pressure loss
! Exhaust Gas Flow in an Automobile Silencer (2011)
• Analysis of fluid flow in a typical expansion chamber muffler was performed using ANSYS Fluent.
• Studied the effects of varying the internal geometry of the muffler on the flow field
! Simulation of Wingtip Vortex and Effect of Addition of Wingtip Devices (2010)
• Conventional Wings were modeled in Pro-E and the model was simulated for subsonic flow in
ANSYS Fluent to capture wingtip vortex
• Wingtip fence were added to the original configuration and the simulation was performed again.
Reduction in drag coefficient was observed as expected.
