About
Passionate CFD Engineer | Driving Innovation in Automotive, Rail, and Energy Systems
As a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer with over two years of experience, I specialize in solving complex fluid flow, aerodynamics, and thermal management challenges. My work focuses on optimizing performance and efficiency for cutting-edge automotive, rail, and power generation systems. Collaborating with the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and leading clients, I’ve delivered impactful solutions for industry giants like Eicher, Volvo, Uno Minda, and KOEL.
My expertise lies in external aerodynamics, HVAC system design, and thermal analysis, with hands-on experience in meshing (HyperMesh), simulations (ANSYS Fluent), geometry preparation (SpaceClaim), and post-processing (EnSight). Key projects include aerodynamic optimization for Eicher and Volvo buses, thermal management for 500-1500 kVA generators, and HVAC simulations for Vande Bharat trains. I’ve also evaluated tire aerodynamics, centrifugal pump performance, EV bike airflow, and headlamp condensation, delivering measurable improvements in design efficiency.
I thrive on transforming engineering challenges into actionable solutions, leveraging CFD to enhance vehicle performance, energy efficiency, and system reliability. My technical proficiency, combined with a collaborative mindset, allows me to bridge design and analysis for real-world impact.
Currently, I’m eager to contribute my skills to innovative projects in automotive, electric vehicles, or renewable energy. Let’s connect to explore how CFD can drive your next breakthrough!

As a CFD Engineer with Designtech Systems, I was deployed on-site at the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Pune, contributing to advanced R&D projects for leading automotive and power generation clients. This role immersed me in cutting-edge simulations, focusing on aerodynamics, thermal management, and fluid flow analysis using tools like HyperMesh, ANSYS Fluent, EnSight, and SpaceClaim.
• Executing CFD simulations for external aerodynamics of Eicher and Volvo buses, incorporating prism layer capturing for precise boundary layer modeling to enhance vehicle efficiency.
• Performing thermal management analysis for diesel generators (500 kVA, 910 kVA, 400 kVA, 1010 kVA, 1250 kVA, 1500 kVA) from KOEL, GCL, and FMTU, optimizing cooling systems for improved performance.
• Simulating HVAC systems and external aerodynamics for all coaches of the Vande Bharat train, improving passenger comfort and energy utilization.
• Evaluating aerodynamics of Uno Minda tires with alloy wheels, reducing drag through detailed airflow studies.
• Assessing fluid flow and performance for KSB vertical multistage centrifugal pumps, identifying design enhancements for industrial applications.
• Analyzing airflow and thermal performance for Kinetic EV bikes (electric two-wheelers), supporting battery cooling and overall EV optimization.
• Conducting radiator fan performance evaluations and headlamp condensation/evaporation simulations to ensure automotive reliability.
• Optimizing intake airflow for Ashok Leyland buses, minimizing restrictions for better engine efficiency.
