Support to Rolls-Royce-Derby Project: 1. Internal CFD analysis of cooled turbine blades 2. Calculate Bend loss factors, Inlet loss factors for cold flow and in-engine conditions of Trent-1000 Engines 3. Extract HTC Coefficients from turbine blade coolant passages to apply in 1D thermal model. 4. Built 1D thermal models including ducts, film holes and ribs Trent-1000 HP Turbine blades using JB63 and SCO3 tools.

Support to Bell Flight- Canada Project: 1. Innovation Project: Aerodynamic study on Distributed Propulsion System for EVTOL, Bell Flight. 2. Support to Airframe Design Team in Canada, by addressing engineering Issues on airframe structures, application of GD & T Knowledge, 2D drafting, 3D modeling using Catia V6, Release of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and PLM on Enovia V6.

1. Internal flow CFD analysis: 3D analysis of HV wiring harness and charging components using Ohmic Heating Model in STAR CCM+ for predicting the heat transfer coefficients by thermal simulations and optimization analysis. 2. Developed 1D thermal model in Matlab Simulink for system level analysis with appropriate correlations to analyze the effects of cooling in charging components and HV wiring harness.
