I developed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models in Ansys for effectuating thermal energy systems simulation, while training teammates to enhance implementation of CFD methods and high-performance computing. I performed small-scale experiments for power generation and air heating systems, aiding in the learning of measurement and instrumentation. I modeled the systems on SolidWorks in combination with Ansys for use in CFD simulation. I developed a pilot-scale experimental framework for computational model validation by coordinating construction management within allocated budgets.• Proposed substitution for existing mining energy systems with advanced technologies, such as geothermal, solar, and waste heat for remote arctic communities, demonstrating potential annual savings of up to C$7M in off-grid arctic mines.• Established an experimental test rig for exhaust heat recovery and heating of arctic mine air by adjusting a budget of approximately C$25K.• Installed effective procedures for guiding a 5-member team on computational fluid dynamic methods and high power computing simulations.
