  Thermal analysis and flow visualization of a flat loop heat pipe

  Loop heat pipe (LHP) is a highly efficient two-phase cooling system used for the passive cooling of critical electronic components. LHP uses capillary pressure developed in the pores of the wick material to pump the fluid through the evaporator and condenser. • Designed and fabricated a flat loop heat pipe • Fabricated a wick structure of approximately 10µm pore diameter from copper powder by sintering• Fabricated the main structure of LHP inside a transparent acrylic plastic block to investigate the flow behavior in the loop• Utilized a high-speed camera to observe two-phase flow behavior at evaporator and condenser• Obtained thermal data at different components of LHP by thermocouples • Evaluated startup behavior and performance of different components of LHP up to 100 Watt heat load• Determined thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient in the evaporator.

  Large-eddy simulation of canopy flow in nature

  Small-scale hydrodynamics inside aquatic ecosystems is rare and critical for understanding coastal resiliency. But limited acoustic and optical access at the interior of coral poses a big challenge for experimental study and provides a few measured values inside the colony. Here, I have performed the first detailed simulations at the interior of a Computed Tomography (CT) scan of a real coral skeleton to capture the local flow field and mass transfer mechanism in the interior of a colony. # Utilized in-house IB FORTRAN code to capture turbulent flow inside the coral colony# Used volume of fluid (VOF) method with a ray-tracing algorithm to track the complex solid-fluid interface on the orthogonal grid # Applied LES dynamic eddy viscosity model to compute turbulent flow statistics# Determined mean velocity profile and turbulent stress along the height with a coral colony# Revealed the highly vortical flow field inside a densely branched colony for the first time# Explained the transport mechanism from overlying water column to the interior of the colony# Showed that the advective time scale inside the densely branched coral colony remained almost the same even though the velocity reduced substantially # Demonstrated the effect of coral branch density and roughness on the flow profile# Determined mass transport mechanism, velocity, and time scale at the interior of branching coral# Solved passive scalar transport equation for turbulent flow in OpenFOAM Show less

  Structural noise analysis of tire at low and high frequency domain

  Tire noise has a significant impact on ride quality and vehicle interior comfort. The frequency response of the tire changes at both low and high frequencies. In this project, we observed the structural behavior of tires at low (20 to 200 Hz) and high frequency (200-700 Hz) domain by finite element analysis.• Supported a future product development project with a focus on the construction of low noise tire• Performed static footprint and steady-state transport analyses of the tire in Eulerian-Lagrangian framework• Implemented hyper and viscoelastic modeling of rubber• Performed stress and strain analysis at different loading condition• Extracted Eigen frequency for static and rotating tire • Analyzed structural behavior of static and rotating tire at low (up to 200 Hz) and high frequency (up to 700 Hz)• Experienced in developing mathematical models and writing finite element solvers in MATLAB Show less

  Crash analysis by the dot tracking algorithm

  For the automobile industry, the crash experiment is performed by post-processing the crash data to construct the scenario during the impact. In this project, we take the challenge to obtain real-time data from the region of interest during the impact. • Developed a new crash analysis methodology to obtain direct deformation data during a crash• Designed a prototype vehicle with cameras and data acquisition system and crashed it in a lab environment• Used dot-tracking algorithm to reconstruct 3D deformation of the region of interest during a crash• Prepared technical report, presented the results in biweekly meetings, and provided support to the development team Show less

  Aug 2018 - May 2019

  Virginia Sea Grant Fellow

  I was a part of an interdisciplinary team that worked on societal challenges in coastal and marine environments of a small waterfront village-like Willis Wharf. These facilities reside on the unique land-sea interface, which emphasizes their reliance on the water and displays their vulnerability to rising seas. In addition, the current typology is causing increased rates of erosion, contributing to issues of flooding. Here, I proposed a conceptual framework and research questions regarding resilience from a holistic and community-driven perspective. Show less

  Postdoctoral Researcher

  Quantitative measurement of annual and seasonal organic and inorganic carbon and nitrogen exports from rivers to the ocean is critical to understand the impact of natural forcing and anthropogenic activities on the global carbon and nitrogen pool. Currently, I am working on the development of an in-stream biogeochemistry module based on the Model for Scale Adaptive River Transport (MOSART) under the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) by DOE.• Developed biogeochemistry transport module in FORTRAN to simulate the transport of chemical species in the river • Traced the transport of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous through the river and validated with observed data• Developed tools using MATLAB for statistical analysis of large datasets on flow and physical parameters of river• Experienced in debugging and maintenance of large-scale parallel code Show less
