EXPERIENCE

SCIENTIST
Jan. 2011- Oct. 2015
National Institute of Ocean Technology, India

 Performed Multi-Phase flow analysis for entrainment of water droplets along with
water vapour inside the flash evaporator for thermal desalination by STAR CCM+.
 Evaluated water surface area exposed to vacuum by conducting fluid flow analysis
using VOF method inside the flash evaporator for thermal desalination by Open
FOAM.
 Simulated flows on different outline shapes (the spout diameters and the vapour duct
heights) on the water vapour distribution inside the flash evaporator by Open FOAM.
 Field experiments on flash evaporator were carried out to improve the performance
of desalination plant which resulted in reduced TDS and increased water quality.
 CFD studies were conducted for pressure drop characteristics and vapour
distribution pattern in shell and tube heat exchanger. Also performed heat transfer
analysis for estimation of shell side and tube side heat transfer coefficient by using
STAR CCM+.
 Performed vibration analysis for tube bundles of shell and tube heat exchanger by
using HTRI software.
 Evaluated the temperature loss for intake pipeline for desalination plant in shallow
water region by using STAR CCM+.
 Performed CFD analysis for optimum orientation of secondary air inlet of
combustion chamber of a gasifier wooden cook stove by using FLUENT.
 Wave-Pile Interaction studies have been carried out using Open FOAM for the
optimal design of supporting structure of offshore wind turbine.
 Assessed intake pipes of desalination plant for vortex induced vibrations by using
DNV Codes.
 Designed and fabricated glass fiber reinforced plastic pipe for marine application in
shallow waters by using AWWA and BS standards. Finite Element Analysis was
performed for estimation of allowable stress and deformation by using ANSYS.
 Designed and fabricated flash evaporator and heat exchanger for desalination plant
by using ASME code, TEMA code and ANSYS.
 Developed MATLAB codes for data processing.
 Played team role for the planning and execution of the projects and prepared
technical reports to Project Review Board and Scientific Advisory Committee for
their critical review and suggestions.
