April, 07 2026 - Verified by The Honor Society of Phi Kappa PhiDelivered a specialized course on CFD, focusing on multiphase flow modeling, meshing strategies, and simulation techniques using ANSYS Fluent.
PIV Lab: Mentoring undergraduate student to characterize the liquid droplet properties.
Advising graduate students to run PIV for measuring solid particle tracking and resolving PIV issues.
Simulation of rain droplet erosion impact on wind turbine blades using FSI.
Adding new materials to the Liquid Impact Erosion Software (LIES) predictive tool for assessing liquid erosion in pipeline systems.
FEA to find a deflection of different bridges and trusses.
CFD simulation of the effect of pipe roughness in a turbulent flow.
Modifying the design of the wind turbine facility using SOLIDWORKS software.
Experimental investigation of water droplet erosion impact on different solid surfaces.
Utilized Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to characterize solid particles and liquid droplets, enhancing erosion prediction accuracy.
MATLAB: Processed and analyzed PIV data for validation against INSIGHT 4G software results.
Analysis of the solid surface damage using SEM and Profilometry test.
Programming via Mathematica to develop numerical methods.
Wind Turbine Facility Development for Water Droplet Erosion Evaluation: Improved the experimental setup by redesigning the system to reduce motor overload and successfully increase droplet impact velocity beyond the original 20 m/s limit.
PIV Laboratory Enhancement: Modified a static-flow Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) setup by developing a custom water droplet simulator to introduce controlled flow disturbances. This modification mimics turbulence effects induced by rotating blades in water droplet erosion environments.
LIES Software Development: Developed the Liquid Impact Erosion Software (LIES) by adding new non-metallic materials using VBA to predict erosion in pipeline systems. The tool is currently under consideration by the Erosion/Corrosion Research Centers (E/CRC) 16 oil and gas industry partners for industrial application.
