Introduction

In a planet which is functional due to fluids, I want to be one of those who can predict and channel the fluid properties for sustainability and efficiency of everything involving fluids. I am a Mechanical engineer having 2+ years of industrial experience in foam technology. Currently, I am pursuing a Masters certification in CFD in Skill-Lync,India. I am specializing in CFD application techniques. During the course period, I have worked on 15+ industry oriented projects involving various CFD models such as Turbulence models, Multi phase modeling, CHT analysis and species transport models. And I have hands on experience in tools like Ansys Fluent, Star CCM+, MATLAB and ANSA.
