Modeled Arizona State University's old disk cavity rig in Solar’s 1D flow network code (Finesse) and validated the Disk Cavity Analysis Tool (DCAT) for radial in-flow against experimental data and CFD results. I gained proficiency in STAR-CCM+ to model the disk cavity geometry and perform refinement and sensitivity analyses over a range of flow rates and compared static pressures, temperatures, and swirl to see how DCAT may be overpredicting or underpredicting. I identified that DCAT loses accuracy at the radial extremes of the disk cavity and tends to over-predict swirl across the cavity. Using these results, we may better refine our prediction capabilities and budget cooling flow more effectively to other parts of the engine to overall boost the performance of a package.

Sdsu Computational Physics Lab

Collaborated with undergraduate researchers and Ph.D. candidates to develop a dye injection system for visualizing vortex shedding patterns over a rectangular wing constrained by end walls. Discovered alternating vortex shedding patterns at low Reynolds numbers during experimentation and currently testing the implementation of vortex generators to control the shedding frequencies

San Diego State University

• Tutored a medium size group of students for a comprehensive review of calculus working with an instructor to develop lesson plans and create effective teaching strategies• Taught calculus and integrated new and relevant developments that apply concepts taught in class to help students develop an interest in the material

Low Speed Wind Tunnel

Researched the effect of Synthetic Jet active flow control under Dr. Gustaaf Jacobs as part of the Faculty Student Mentorship Program (FSMP) and the Center for Industrial Training and Engineering Research (CITER). For this project, I designed, manufactured, and tested a 3D-printed wing with piezoelectric diaphragms to inject the boundary layer with momentum as an active flow control for compressor blade applications. I collaborated with other undergraduate researchers to operate a subsonic wind tunnel and force balance equipment to obtain results that were post-processed in MATLAB. We presented at the SDSU Student Research Symposium on how the synthetic jet actuators delay flow separation by energizing the boundary layer, increasing aerodynamic performance.
