Experience

General Electric (Energy) January to June, 2013

Worked on Mark VI E controllers and ran simulations and test cases for 1.5 MW series wind turbines.

Ingersoll Rand January to July, 2012

Designed and automated an “end of line test set up for testing of pneumatic fasteners.

Used LABVIEW to design the user interface and created the Data Acquisition model. Proficient in using DAQmx.

Designed the circuit layout for the Electrical box and successfully integrated the sensors (pressure and torque

sensors, strain gauge, actuation valves) with the mechanical setup. Measurements were taken from the sensors using

NI (National Instrument) DAQ board.

Successfully completed the project in the given time period of 6 months and helped establish the automated test setup

in production line to increase the efficiency of the testing process.

Bombardier June to July, 2011

Gained knowledge on propulsion, control and production techniques of High Speed Trains.

Larsen & Tubro June to July, 2010

Used Kuka robotic arm for circular arc welding.

Exposure to using the user interface of the robotic arm controller

Used SIEMENS-PLC to control auxiliary parts in the robotic arm

Projects

Data analysis of drag and lift on smooth hydrofoil and super-hydrophobic hydrofoils

Created a super hydrophobic surface of dimension 7 by 7 inches using Teflon and stainless steel woven wire mesh

of 325 grit size. The surface created was put on a 3-D printed hydrofoil and the drag and lift tests were done on the

hydrofoil in a water tunnel. The results observed were

1) A 20-30 percent reduction in drag over high Reynolds number

2) A 10-20 percent reduction in lift observed for high Reynolds number

Further experiments are being conducted to observe the effect of the boundary layer and effect of coati ng one side

of the hydrofoil with a super hydrophobic surface and the other half without the surface.

Data analysis of Vortex Induced Vibration on an elastically mounted cylinder

The experiment was performed to find out the fluid structure interaction of an elastic cylinder with fluid flow in a

water tunnel. The amplitude data was taken at different flow velocities to find out the peak amplitude, resonant

frequency, damping, shedding frequency, and compared the results to the results obtained in Williamson et al,

Vortex Induced Vibrations, Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 2004. 36:413–55

Design and analysis of 8MW wind turbine

An 8MW wind turbine was designed based on detailed static and dynamic analysis. The turbine was designed using

National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) computer-aided wind energy codes like 'TurbSim', 'BModes',

'WT_Perf' and 'FAST'.

Airfoil analysis using Q-Blade

A complete analysis of NACA 4415 airfoil series was done using Q-Blade. Using that airfoil, a rotor was simulated,

which in turn was used to simulate a three bladed wind turbine design.

Optimization of a Horizontal axis Wind turbine using Genetic algorithm

1) A horizontal axis wind turbine is optimized taking into account the Wind turbine cost model and Annual Energy

Output Model.

2) Formulated the Problem as a function to be optimized with constraints in MATLAB.

3) Optimized the function using Genetic Algorithm in Model Center and MATLAB.
