Graduate Research Assistant at the Eagle Flight Research Center. Was involved in various projects that included combustion modeling research and flight test engineering for an external partnership. The following were the rolls and responsibilities for each project. Combustion Flashback Simulations:• Set up 3D CFD cases with combustion modeling in ANSYS Fluent and Converge CFD. These cases used built in and external chemistry mechanisms such as the GRI3.0 mechanism. The cases were… Show more Graduate Research Assistant at the Eagle Flight Research Center. Was involved in various projects that included combustion modeling research and flight test engineering for an external partnership. The following were the rolls and responsibilities for each project. Combustion Flashback Simulations:• Set up 3D CFD cases with combustion modeling in ANSYS Fluent and Converge CFD. These cases used built in and external chemistry mechanisms such as the GRI3.0 mechanism. The cases were run using RANS and LES turbulence modals.• Analyzed cases based on different flow parameters that lead to the flashback condition. • Communicate results and ideas to supervisors via written reports and presentations.Flight Test Engineering:• Flight Test Engineer for in flight testing of a test article looking for an STC. • Lead the test and collected data during in flight testing.• Produced the test plans and schedule for the project. • Participated in the design process of a test boom attached to the wing of the aircraft for the flight test project. • Produced CAD drawings and 3D printed prototypes. • Analyzed prototypes for structural stability and reliability.• Conducted ground test of entire aircraft integration for flight safety prior to moving to flight testing.
