Graduate Research Assistant
Investigated the differences between Newtonian and non-Newtonian assumptions in order to enhance the modeling of non-Newtonian transitional and turbulent flow in various diameter pipes• Built and maintained in vitro models of a closed loop circulatory system and corresponding testing facilities to acquire experimental data in laminar, transition and turbulent flows• Inspected, diagnosed malfunctions and performed repairs on laboratory equipment of both straight and constricted pipes with different interior constriction shapes• Measured and collected substantial quantity of experimental data for multiple Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids with various components• Conducted extensive data analysis using SPSS and Matlab, identified outstanding flow characteristics of non-Newtonian transitional flow in straight and constricted pipes• Managed to complete the pipe flow research project, author of a journal article in which the results and impact were highlighted
