WORK EXPERIENCE

Engineer, Defiance Technologies Ltd, Bangalore, India July 2012 – July 2014 Involved in the Airbus structural design methodologies training

Underwent training on design methodologies making use of CATIA V5 designing tool

Implemented legacy conversion from 2D to 3D models

Completed training in part modelling, assembly and drafting modules in CATIA V5 Involved in the structural stress analysis of the Bulk Cargo Door of the Airbus A350 XWB for the Justification Phase and the Type Certification Phase.

Justification Phase

Performed hand calculation work and RF reporting for Frames component in the Bulk Cargo Door

Implemented VB Macros in MS Excel for easing hand calculations tasks

Prepared stress reports and related documentation in Airbus Stress dossier Type Certification Phase

Developed input files (.bdf) for Nastran Analysis and generating the result files (.xdb) after analysis

Performed results extraction from Patran and executed hand calculation work for Frames component in the Bulk Cargo Door

Performed RF reporting, creating stress reports and related documentation in Airbus Stress dossier

Implemented VB Macros in MS Excel for easing hand calculations tasks

Programmed PCL functions to ease results extraction from Patran ACADEMIC PROJECT

CFD Solver for Multiphase Fluid Flows Fall 2015

Implemented the Navier Stokes equation along with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method for programming a solver for multiphase fluid flows

Implemented the NS equations using Fractional Step method on a staggered mesh configuration and interface advection using VOF split advection method

Demonstrated the solver using the liquid drop test case CFD Solver for a Lid Driven Cavity on a Staggered Mesh Spring 2015

Implemented a flow solver for a lid driven cavity using the Navier Stokes equations using FORTRAN

Implemented the NS equations using Fractional Step method on staggered mesh configuration

Implemented a V-Multigrid Poisson’s Solver

Generated contour plots for the velocities, vorticity and stream function. Fuel Efficiency Optimization of a Hybrid Electric Bus Spring 2015

Optimal control of the engine and motor in a parallel configuration to maximize the fuel efficiency

Implemented an algorithm making use of Pareto curves and Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy(ECMS)

Integration of critical parameters from different sub-system such as number of battery cells in series(Ns), in parallel(Np) and the final drive ratio for system level optimization

Improved mileage to 6.1348 miles/gallon (made use of the Orange County Transit drive cycle) Flamelet Modelling Fall 2014

Modelled laminar and turbulent flames for the combustion of a CH4/Air mixture using Matlab.

Modelled for reversible and irreversible, one step, infinitely fast chemistry.

Performed more detailed modelling using a 72 step combustion mechanism with the Flamemaster tool.

Calculated the flame length for a laminar flame to be 34mm and turbulent flame to be 18.9 mm for the given experimental setup.
