The experimentation part of my project was the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations I conducted. The CFD was probably the hardest part of my project, with numerous major setbacks, and at times I didn't think it would be possible. A big thank you to my academic mentor, Zayd, for guiding me through this.
I initially planned to use Altair AcuSolve CFD for this, but ended up using ANSYS Fluent CFD.
