Project Highlights

The project is a beginner level project

        This project is great for an undergraduate student (2nd year)

          This project helps to understand the fundamentals of CFD


          Pre-requisites

          Should have a basic understanding about the Fluid Mechanics.  

          Requires SolidWorks with Flow Simulation Add-ins (SolidWorks 2017 or above)

          Transient Simulation of Flow Over a Cylinder

          External flow past around a circular cylinder has been extensively studied by the fluid community because of their practical applications. Flow over heat exchanger tubes and civil structures are such examples. The flow past a circular cylinder experiences a boundary layer separation and very strong flow oscillations in the wake region behind the body. The flow pattern is dependent on the Reynolds number and is affected by the surface roughness, compressibility of the fluid and other factors.

          • Learn to perform the transient analysis in SolidWorks
          • Understand the significance of the Parametric study

          Quasi 1D simulation of a Subsonic-Supersonic Nozzle

          In this project, you will simulate one of the most important problems in aerospace applications- the convergent-divergent nozzle. You will solve the quasi 1D Euler's equations in Matlab to simulate and study the conditions for an isentropic flow inside a subsonic-supersonic nozzle. This project will provide insights into how a super-sonic aircraft is able to attain such speeds with the help of a simple convergent-divergent nozzle setup.
          Flow over a Mercedes Benz Actros Truck using StarCCM+

          This project deals with simulating the flow around a Mercedes Benz Actros truck with and without the trailer attachment, We will be studying the production of wake and how the trailer attachment affects the wake produced by the tractor and the effect this has on the production of drag on the vehicle. Suitable reports and plots will be used to measure the drag coefficient and to assess convergence. Various post processing techniques can be used to provide animations that clearly show the flow patterns.
