Experience
2021 - Present
whirlpool
Lead Engineer - Simulation Based Design
- Thermal and fluid science expert for Whirlpool Global Technology and Engineering Center in all product categories - Lead combustion simulation practice, test facility development, and external research (combustion) tie-ups to support burner development - Developed 3D thermal system performance models for cooking ranges - Mentor engineers in CFD and Six Sigma certification projects
2019 - 2021
whirlpool
Sr CAE Specialist
- Delivered US$ 800k annual cost-savings in gas technology - Delivered subject matter training sessions on atmospheric gas burners - Developed a 3D thermal system performance model for Wall Ovens
2017 - 2019
whirlpool
Global Project Engineer
- Started Combustion CFD sub-group at Whirlpool Global Technology and Engineering Center (GTEC) India. - Designed test and CFD methods for the quantification of primary aeration, CO, and CO2 for cooking burners - Delivered a quick and directional CFD approach to predict flame stability and flammability, implemented in burner development projects resulting in US$ 1.2 million annual cost-benefit, reduced burner development cycle time by 40%
2015 - 2017
greaves cotton
Manager - R&D
Started 3D CFD activity in Greaves Cotton Ltd. Provided a cost-effective (no-cost!) solution for CFD projects using AcuSolve. Documented the best practices to reduce the person-dependency. - Developed and tuned 1D sub-system level models in GT-Power for 4 single-cylinder (diesel, CNG; air-cooled, water-cooled) and 1 three-cylinder (diesel; water-cooled) engines - Established a 3D-CFD practice, modeled swirl in CFD for diesel engine intake port with 90%+ accuracy, saved US$4000 per test for prototyping and testing - Virtually validated ports, manifolds, cooling system, cylinder head and exhaust after-treatment components, avoided annual costs of US$ 135,000+ in CAE outsourcing - Set up 1D-3D co-simulation workflows and wrote best-practice guides
2013 - 2015
ensight by cei software
Application Engineer
Initiated CONVERGE CFD - applications and support activities in CEI India (now a subsidiary of ANSYS Inc). IC engine combustion projects: - 3D IC engine combustion and pollutant formation simulations using detailed/simplified chemistry models - Establish best practices for mesh generation strategies for IC engine cases (Adaptive Mesh Refinement) to reduce grid-dependency - Predict effects of variation in EGR, geometry, nozzle parameters; on performance and emissions Non-combustion CFD projects: - IC engine cold flow analysis (swirl/tumble) - EGR mixing, Intake/Exhaust manifold optimization - Conjugate Heat Transfer, multi-phase flows etc. Technical Support: - Work closely with customers for troubleshooting in CONVERGE CFD and EnSight (post-processing) - Onsite support/user training sessions for CONVERGE CFD and EnSight - Support clients in CONVERGE-GT Power coupling - Write Shell/Batch scripts for software installation, batch submission of CFD jobs, etc.
