EXPERIENCE

CAE Analysis Intern

• Explored the capabilities of the Multiphysics simulation environment Altair SimLab while assisting with the training activities for new Altair customers.

• Carried out Feature, Function and Regression testing of the v2020.1 and reported the bugs found through JIRA tickets.

• Created tutorial video demonstrating the process workflow of various fluid flow and heat transfer problem for the SimLab learning center.

• Populated the SimLab Help documentation explaining the various features of the GUI available to users with the theoretical background.

• Identified thermal hotspots by carrying out steady state and transient conjugate heat transfer simulation of the Delphi electronic components using commercial Finite element solver AcuSolve.

• Calculated the overall pressure drop in a shell and tube heat exchanger by employing the porous media model in SimLab to account for the pressure loss due to flow through tube bundles and perforations.

• Explored the capabilities of the Finite volume solver ElectroFlo used for electronics cooling by analyzing the natural and forced convection cooled automotive electronic box and busbar thermal electrical analysis. Research Assistant

• Carried out computational study validating the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) computational technique with Dynamic Smagorinsky sub- grid scale model for shaped hole flat plate film cooling using experimental data on the commercial finite volume code Simcenter STAR- CCM+.

• Numerically validated the RANS technique with K-Omega turbulence model and conjugate heat transfer for multiple perforation flat plate film cooling of cylindrical holes using experiments conducted at NASA Glenn research center. Graduate Assistant

• Created instructional videos demonstrating the extensive process workflow of typical fluid flow problems on the commercial code Simcenter STAR-CCM+ for the 'Aerodynamic Simulation' undergraduate course.

• Demonstrated the subsonic flow over NACA 4412 airfoil, Von-Karman vortex generation of flow over cylinder, transonic flow over an airfoil and turbulent flow over a 3D wing.

• Interacted with the students and guided them to carry out a simulation of any flow field of their desire for the final course project. CFD Analyst

• Optimized the coolant flow path of the liquid cooled active array antenna unit for highest heat dissipation and least pumping power using ANSYS Fluent.

• Accounted for the pressure loss due to quick disconnect couplings in the flow path by employing porous media model and calculated the required pumping power.

• Carried out a steady state simulation to analyze the heat dissipation from a liquid cooled Quad Transmit Receive Module using RANS computational technique with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model and conjugate heat transfer model in ANSYS Fluent. PROJECTS
