Summary:

Icing alters the shape and surface characteristics of aircraft components, which results in altered aerodynamic forces and moments caused by air flow over those iced components. The typical effects of icing are increased drag, reduced stall angle of attack , and reduced maximum lift. In this analysis, the leading-edge and the piccolo type thermal anti-icing bay of an aircraft wing is simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for a range of inlet-temperatures and the flow-rates of the heating fluid. Furthermore, the bay skin temperature distributions are obtained by an integrated conjugate heat-transfer (CHT) analysis. It takes into account the skin heat transfer and conductivity. Finally the optimal flow-rates and temperatures of the heating-fluid are obtained for the Piccolo tube based anti-icing system.

Summary:

This project involved the optimization of Angle-of-Attack (AoA) of the wing of a commercial aircraft. The drag and lift around an aircraft-wing were predicted for different values of speed and AoA, using STAR-CCM+. The fluid around the wing was modeled using polyhedral cells. Based on the drag and lift coefficients, the most optimal AoA was predicted.

Summary:

This analysis was performed to study the temperature distribution across the solid as well as the fluid component of an automotive engine-manifold. The manifold geometry was wrapped using CCM+ and meshed with polyhedral mesh. The Conjugate Heat Transfer – CHT analysis was run to map the thermal field. The study of temperature variation across the walls of the manifold was used while estimating the thermal stresses.

Summary:

The purpose of this project is to check the capabilities of a car-radiator for multiple configurations. 3D model of the radiator is used to simulate the fluid-flow through the water-cooled radiator. The trimmer-mesh with prism-layers are used to capture the thermal-gradients accurately.

Summary:

This project aimed at optimizing the radiator-design, by identifying the most effective geometry and configuration of the fins. The effect of the parameters namely shape, size and spacing of the fins on the radiator efficiency was analyzed. Design of Experiments – DOE was conducted by analysing various CFD models of the radiator to arrive the optimal design of the radiator-fin.
