Portfolio Summary

DrivAer Vehicle Aerodynamics Full CFD simulation of the DrivAer model (an automotive-industry benchmark geometry) in Simcenter STAR-CCM+, validated against a reference thesis and Audi wind-tunnel data. C_D obtained: 0.274 C_D reference (thesis): 0.282 Error vs. thesis: 2.9% | Error vs. wind tunnel: 9.1% 12M-cell mesh, RANS k-omega SST turbulence model Composite Rear-Wing Spar Sizing Structural redesign of the internal spar of a Le Mans Hypercar's rear wing, replacing Aluminum 2024 with a Graphite/Epoxy laminate, sized against the FIA-WEC deflection regulation and cross-validated with FEA. Composite spar deflection: 0.186 mm (FIA limit: 10 mm) Reduction vs. aluminum beam: -86% Safety margins: 835% in compression, 38.8% in tension Material: Graphite/Epoxy, 20 plies Horten IV Flying-Wing Lift Distribution Classical lifting-line theory (Fourier-series / Glauert method) applied to a flying-wing planform reconstructed from historical drawings, replicating a published spanwise lift distribution and induced-drag polar. C_L total: 1.16 | C_Di (analytical): 0.0247 Aspect ratio: 21.3 | Span/wing area: 20 m / 18.8 m² Reynolds number: 1.5 × 10⁶, Fourier-series solution (m = 300) Centrifugal Compressor Design Full CFTurbo design of a turbocharger centrifugal compressor for a production engine, sized to double its power output — from impeller to volute — exported to SolidWorks as a manufacturable 3D model, with first-pass performance maps. Pressure ratio, π_tt: 2.5 | Power required: 10.58 kW Design speed: 150,000 rpm | Impeller material: Titanium Specific speed, n_q: 51.6 Top Race V6 — Aero Comparison An 81-page comparative CFD study benchmarking the three homologated aero packages (Ford, Lexus and FIAT) of the Argentine Top Race V6 championship, all sharing one spec chassis, resolving drag, downforce and aerodynamic efficiency at 160 km/h. Best aero efficiency: Ford — 0.9538 Drag coefficient, C_x: 0.2232 – 0.2299 Total downforce: 944 – 1041 N ≈10M-cell mesh, simulation speed 44.44 m/s (160 km/h)
