Multi-physics Interactions Research Group (MIRG)Advisor: Professor Jack J. McNamara, PhDCreated point-matched structured computational fluid and thermal models of a representative hypersonic vehicle using Pointwise meshing software. Developed and implemented a framework to localize simulations of control surfaces on hypersonic vehicles.Designed a framework to initialize high-fidelity local thermal solution from an AFRL trajectory scale design level tool. Obtained high-speed CFD solutions of a representative hypersonic vehicle using US3D. Constructed a partitioned loose coupling framework between the CFD code US3D and Abaqus using python.Generated time accurate loosely coupled fluid-thermal responses of my configuration: The control surface fin-body-gap region.

Munitions Directorate | Summers 2020 - 2024.Project Title: ``Efficient, Scaleable Computation for Fluid-Thermal-Structural Interactions Analysis''Developed a Python script to read a CSV file, set up directories, and modify input files and submission scripts.Submitted over 400 US3D CFD cases simultaneously to the DoD High-Performance Computing (HPC) system using the scripted automation.Collaborated with other graduate students to generate a multi-fidelity machine learning model based on CFD data. Authored detailed technical memorandums on summer research progress. Presented research findings to large scientific audiences which included the Chief Scientist of the Munitions Directorate.

Flight Demonstration of Novel Atmospheric Satellite ConceptWinner of 2016 Phase II NASA Innovative Advanced Concept (NIAC) AwardPreprocessed 3-D glider wing in Pointwise and ran angle of attack sweep from -8 to 10 degrees in Ansys Fluent. Then in Tecplot, using the entire flow field solution, found the upwash and side wash at specified location to be used for calibration of a real air data probe. Preprocessed entire 3-D Glider with multiple different flap, alieron, elevator and rudder deflection angles. Ran using Ansys Fluent on school cluster at different angle of attack sweeps.
