Experience

Senior Research Fellow, (3 years)

Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Hyderabad.

I am in a Senior Research position at CFD and aerodynamic design directorate of DRDL (DRDO missile complex). I joined as Junior Research Fellow (JRF) and was promoted to Senior Research Fellow (SRF). With 3 years of experience in CFD and aerodynamic design, I am involved in intense reasearch of strategic missile design, hypersonic weapon systems and CFD. I am involved in top missile system projects for the Indian defense sector in collaboration with Scientists of DRDL and also in CFD solver code development, missile, and aircraft aerodynamic characterization and design optimization studies.

Projects involved:

My areas of expertise:

1. Grid generation for complex geometries to perform aerodynamic analysis and heat transfer analysis.

2. Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) analysis in CFD solvers ( in Starccm+ and Fluent).

3. Multi-body dynamic simulations ( Moving Mesh and Overset mesh methods) in Starccm+.

4. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis in Starccm+ and Fluent (Ansys).

5. Aerodynamic design optimization using the Adjoint solver method.

6. Fatigue analysis using Ansys solver.

My area of research:

1. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) : Application of FSI approach for computational aero-elasticity analysis of flutter, limit cycle oscillations (LCO) and supersonic panel flutter.

2. Aero-servo-elasticity: Methodology for computational Aero-servo elasticity.

3. Development of AI algorithms (back-propagation algorithm and advanced optimization techniques): Application of AI for Computer vision (CV) and aerodynamic trajectory optimization using machine learning.
