A full case study on combustion physics and chemistry of RP1 as a fuel and H2O2 as oxidant. We used NASA CEA code to get the data and also attempted to model certain aspects of combustion on our own. The project was done in collaboration with Ms. Disha Gupta, a fellow batch mate and a student working under Prof. Gadgil of Dept. of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay (who was also the course instructor of AE 656 :Aviation fuels and their combustion). The final report is attached besides.
During Spring 2024 at IIT Bombay, I took AE 682: Introduction to Thermoacoustics with Prof. Vineeth Nair. For the course project, I worked with Isha Mukherjee, Gaurav Rathod, and Sanskar Maddi to develop a 3D FEM solver for the Helmholtz eigenvalue problem with Neumann boundary conditions on cuboidal domains. I implemented a Python-based solver using object-oriented design with first-order shape functions. Our results also supported a companion FDM solver code written by Maddi.
A detailed literature study and attempted simulation of the sound generated due to aerodynamics of a helicopter rotor. This project was done as part of the AE 777 rotary wing aerodynamics. We also developed a new FWH based aeroacoustic module for my solver Aavritti.

Project Report
AE 242 or Aerospace Measurement Laboratory is a Lab course under supervision of prof Hemendra Arya of IITB Aerospace Dept. In this course we learned about the working of various measurement sensors, tracking, and navigation systems used in aerospace vehicles. We also learned how to calibrate them along with some practical experience. The aim of this group project was to apply what all we learned and create a working system that uses and processes the measured data to give a desired output. Me along with my lab partners Mayank Grithlahre and Darshan Kumar designed a system that maintains ambient light intensity in a room using sensors and an actuator bulb with negative feedback given by an Arduino board. Details are in the report attached in this page.
