Mechanical engineer, 16 years in engine durability simulation - multibody dynamics, finite element analysis and combustion CFD on large-bore diesel and locomotive engines. I build the tools now as well as drive them.
MSc Automotive Engineering, Coventry University. Two granted US patents and three ASME ICEF papers co-authored with Argonne National Laboratory. Bengaluru, India.
Currently: BriskFyr, a browser-based multibody dynamics environment built on MBDyn. Model a mechanism, solve it, animate the results, without installing anything. FEA and CFD follow on the same platform. (Live. Source is private.)
cfdpre - boundary-layer mesh sizing for CFD.
First-layer thickness, growth ratio and prism-stack height from mass flow and geometry,
for internal and external flow, using the Haaland friction correlation rather than
Blasius so it stays valid past Re 1e5.
pip install cfdpre
siglyser - signal analysis for measured test
data. FFT, speed-resolved 3D FFT for rotating machinery, RMS and amplitude. Written
originally for engine and driveline measurements.
pip install siglyser
