Siemens Group•Strategic Planning: planned and coordinated each task for a CFD project workflow (geometry creation/modification, meshing, analysis, and post-processing/customer presentation) geared toward power generation turbines used by Siemens Group.• Created an advanced turbulator design for the internal cooling passage of a turbine stage blade that improved heat transfer efficiency by 12% from the baseline model. (U.S. patent)• Data Management: modified a workflow process for accurately calculating and organizing analysis outputs for heat transfer coefficients generated by the internal cooling flow propagating through the blade. This flow increased visual representation of system phenomena and aided customer validation of in-house HTC predictions for a given system.Baker-Hughs Group• Strategic Planning: planned and coordinated each task for a CFD project workflow (geometry creation/modification, meshing, analysis, and post-processing/customer presentation) for below surface oil drills and power generation engines used by BHI Group.• Prepared numerous contract quotes providing an expense forecast (dollar amount and number of man-hours per task) of work to be performed and aided the customer in creating a clearly defined statement of work to focus expectations, preventing scope creep.• Collaborated with the customer to evaluate the cost-benefit of utilizing CFD for different projects and groups within the company. Aided the customer in understanding expectations of CFD analysis and what aspects of a simulation best serve as metrics for determining the efficacy of results.• Designed a down-hole drill head that used a pressure-based signaling system to communicate drill position with surface side control center (US patent).
