Senior Thermodynamics Consultant | 20+ Years CFD Simulation Expertise | Ansys Certified Innovation Courses

Profile Summary

Core Expertise & Experience I am a Senior Thermodynamics Consultant and Academic with over 20 years of experience in mechanical engineering and advanced fluid dynamics. Holding a Master’s degree in "Thermodynamics and Related Studies" from the University of Birmingham, I have spent two decades educating undergraduate engineers while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of computational research. My expertise lies in bridging theoretical thermodynamic and fluid mechanic principles with complex industrial applications through high-fidelity simulations. Technical Proficiency & CFD Specialization As a long-term practitioner of Ansys Fluent, I specialize in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to solve intricate flow and heat transfer problems. I remain at the forefront of the industry by continuously updating my technical toolkit, having successfully completed 19 Ansys Innovation Courses. This blend of deep-rooted experience and modern certification allows me to deliver simulations that are both theoretically sound and technically precise. Research & Key Projects My research focuses on high-efficiency propulsion systems, specifically the Advanced Aerospike Nozzle. I authored the publication "Numerical Simulation of Aerospike Nozzle Inviscid Isentropic Flowfield," where I utilized CFD to unravel the intricate flowfield flow structures to optimize the rocket engine thrust. My ongoing work involves refining propulsion flowfields and consulting on thermal management systems for aerospace and mechanical applications. Available for Collaboration I am available for technical consulting, CFD simulation auditing, research manuscript peer-review, and complex thermodynamic modeling projects. My goal is to provide data-driven insights that accelerate engineering innovation.
