Experience:
At the Formula Student Racing Team, I conducted CFD analyses with Ansys Fluent and OpenFOAM on multi-element aerofoils to optimize downforce distribution. I achieved a 10.2-second reduction in simulated lap time. I created the sidepod design while keeping in mind the geometric constraints of the chassis, radiator and diffuser, I also learnt a lot about the effect of rotating wheels on airflow and correcting them. Additionally, I explored FEA to look into the suspension geometry. Mentored and helped 2 students fabricate the chassis, wing, undertray and diffuser with resin and carbon composites. My work also included facilitating effective communication and information exchange among team members by helping set up the Solidworks PDM server and switching communication platforms.
In my spare time, I also like to work with the Aero Design Club which creates small-scale remote-controlled RC aircraft to participate in SAE competitions. These are made using mainly everyday items like wood, shrink wrap and cardboard which presented an interesting challenge to me.
In my project analyzing the Porsche 911 RSR, I designed a detailed baseline model in SolidWorks, incorporating research on ducts, radiators, and rear wings, and modelled various spoiler configurations in Siemens NX. I understood the impact of different spoilers, duct placements, and winglets on aerodynamic performance. Using Fluent, I tabulated data for each aerodynamic configuration compared their effectiveness, and presented the results.
Additionally, I conceptualized and built a desktop wind tunnel to test scaled models. Equipped with a flow straightener, viewing chamber and diffuser. I used a 120mm computer fan to pull air through the wind tunnel. To visualize the flow I started by using incense cones eventually upgrading to a smoke generator using glycerine. The wind tunnel provided insights into aerodynamic characteristics and taught me about airflow scalability.
