CFD Expert in Anaerobic Digestion & Bioreactor Design | ANSYS Fluent Specialist | Biogas System Optimization | Published

Profile Summary

I am a postdoctoral researcher and environmental engineer specializing in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, anaerobic digestion systems, and bioreactor design optimization. With a PhD in Environmental Engineering from Soka University, Japan, my research focuses on improving biogas production efficiency through structural modification and hydrodynamic analysis of anaerobic digesters. Core Expertise: My technical capabilities span CFD modeling and simulation using ANSYS Workbench (Fluent, CFX, SpaceClaim, DesignModeler), multiphase flow analysis (VOF models), reactor hydrodynamics, and sludge behavior characterization. I have extensive experience in designing, simulating, and experimentally validating bioreactor systems, including Chinese dome digesters, UASB reactors, helical ribbon reactors, and stirred tank systems. Research Contributions: My doctoral research led to the development of a novel two-way flow Chinese dome digester (TWF-CDD) that improved mixing performance by 21.3% and increased methane yield by 73% compared to conventional designs. This work combined CFD simulation (transient multiphase flow, laminar mixing analysis) with experimental validation through semicontinuous anaerobic digestion trials. I have published peer-reviewed articles in Biosystems Engineering and BioEnergy Research, demonstrating practical applications of CFD in solving real-world biogas production challenges. Project Experience: I have contributed to multiple funded research projects, including Japan's Ministry of Environment Carbon Neutral Technology initiative (CFD simulation of helical ribbon bioreactors) and the SATREPS-EARTH project on waterweed biomass utilization in Ethiopia (biogas analysis, process optimization). My work involves reactor geometry design using CAD software (Autodesk Fusion 360, SpaceClaim), mesh generation, simulation setup, post-processing analysis, and translation of CFD results into engineering recommendations. Technical Services I Provide: CFD simulation and analysis for bioreactors, digesters, and chemical process equipment Multiphase flow modeling (liquid-gas, liquid-solid systems) Mixing performance evaluation and impeller/agitator optimization Reactor design modification for improved hydrodynamics Biogas system troubleshooting and performance enhancement CAD modeling and 3D geometry preparation for simulation Technical report writing and data visualization Anaerobic digestion process optimization (HRT analysis, substrate characterization, VFA/biogas composition analysis) Why Work With Me: I deliver engineering solutions grounded in both computational analysis and experimental validation. My approach combines mechanistic understanding of biological processes with rigorous fluid dynamics analysis, ensuring that simulation results translate to practical, implementable improvements. I communicate complex technical findings clearly, providing clients with actionable recommendations supported by data visualization and engineering calculations. I am available for short-term consulting projects, CFD simulation contracts, technical writing assignments, and reactor design optimization work. Whether you need multiphase flow analysis, biogas system troubleshooting, or bioreactor performance evaluation, I provide expert analysis backed by peer-reviewed research experience and hands-on laboratory validation.
