As well all know that it was the wright bros who gave the first successful manned flight to the world, and there are better proofs that eight years earlier to wright bros, an Indian Sanskrit scholar S B Talpade designed a basic aircraft called marutshakti, unmanned aerial vehicle at Chowpatty beach in Bombay, crediting him the first creator of an aircraft in modern times. He used Vedic technology for designing the aircraft.

It is expensive to use physical experiments to get essential engineering data for designing is quite expensive. Getting engineering data of a fluid in motion, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations are relatively inexpensive. Costs are likely to be decreased as computational power has increased. So, using numerical methods to solve various flow problems is effective. In this project, you are going to solve a 1D Shock tube problem using Finite Volume Method.

All the engineering devices we use involves the conversion of energy. In this process, a lot of heat released to the surroundings as a part of energy loss. The efficiency of any device can be increased by minimizing loss due to heat transfer. That’s why a lot of research going on around the world in the field of heat transfer. To solve real-life heat transfer problems Numerical methods are preferred, because of less time consumption, ease, and convenience. To get hands-on experience on numerical methods, here you are going to solve the Two-Dimensional flat plate problem with Constant conductivity heat transfer by using Numerical methods.

The Aerospace industry is increasingly relying on advanced numerical flow simulation tools for analyzing all the components of aircraft. The main part which helps in producing lift is wings. So, the shape of the aerofoil should be designed in such a manner so that maximum lift can be achieved.

The aerodynamic properties of a cricket ball can greatly be affected by the prominence of the seam, the surface roughness of the ball in play, and the launch attitude of the ball by the bowler. Based on seam angle and surface roughness of the ball, an asymmetric airflow over the ball due to pressure difference can be generated thereby deviating the flight from the intended path. This potential flight deviation is called swing. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand the aerodynamic properties of used cricket balls as wear and tear can have a major effect on the swing. The primary objectives of this work were to understand the aerodynamic properties of a series of used cricket balls, thus the mechanism of swing as well as the drag of a cricket ball.

Project Description

A decade ago aerodynamics was insignificant among commercial vehicle manufacturers. It had its application in aerospace industry and F1 or any other racing. Today more and more companies are focusing on aerodynamics of even the mid-range road vehicles. Researches have concluded that with proper optimization of aerodynamics, fuel efficiency improves.

In this project you will learn to use SIM SCALE, an online tool for performing the CFD analysis of a formula style racing car. SIM SCALE allows us to upload and perform analysis online so that we do CFD on even low end computers.

In this CFD project, you will use ANSYS to analyse the fluid flow and heat transfer in a mixing elbow. Mixing elbow is used in piping systems of power plants and process industries to find the flow field and temperature field in the region of the mixing section which helps to fix the position of inlet pipes. 

Before starting the project here is an overview of the problem which we are going to solve - Now a cold fluid (20C) is going to enter through the large inlet and it is going to get mixed with the warmer fluid (40C) which enters through a smaller inlet at the elbow. For the flow at the large inlet, the Reynolds number is 50,800,  hence the turbulent flow model will be needed.

INTRODUCTION: 

A wing is a sort of balance with a surface that produces streamlined power for flight or drive through the climate, or through another vaporous or fluid liquid. A wing's streamline quality is like lift-to-drag proportion. The lift of a wing creates at a given speed and approach can be one to two significant degrees. It is more prominent than the complete delay in the aircraft wing. A high lift-to-drag proportion requires an altogether littler push to move the aircraft wing through the air at an adequate lift.

A device that is used to reduce pollutants and toxic gases in the exhaust gas from the combustion engine by chemical reactions is known as a catalytic converter. These converters need a temperature of 426-degree centigrade so that it can convert harmful gases into non-toxic gases, so these are placed as close as possible to the engine to get enough temperature which it requires.

These converters are mostly used in automobiles, but their application has also been increased in mining equipment, generators, etc. where the amount of harmful gas emission is high.

For analysis of the catalytic converter, Ansys has a different software which is FEA (Finite Element Analysis) followed by CFD Analysis by which we can know how efficient the converter is.

The method which uses vacuum to deposit materials that produce high-performance, high-quality solid materials is known as chemical vapor deposition. CVD is mostly applied in semiconductors manufacturing to coat/ produce thin films. CVD has become the most versatile and important method to synthesize any product.

In CVD, mostly water is used as a substrate and is exposed to one or more volatile presses which then reacts and deposits on the surface of the desired product. CVD widely produces microfabrication to deposit various materials like Si, C, W, etc. which are good conductors. 

The main step in CVD is to study the properties of the material which has to be deposited and the properties of the substrate on which it has to be deposited.

To know about the vapor deposition on a substrate, Ansys has a separate software called Computational Fluid Dynamics software ANSYS/FLUENT is used.

Centrifugal blower was designed mainly to handle air and gases which are compressible fluids. A blower contains more than one stage of compression which is mounted on a single shaft. Blowers are mostly used in power stations, ventilation, workshops, etc. 

A centrifugal compressor can be related to a fan-based on the type of application which it has been applied to. For the simulation of a centrifugal blower, Ansys’s CFD simulation software helps to analyze and give the result which is required.

In brakes, the main property is the thermal conductivity as a lot of heat is generated in the brakes when it is applied. So, the brakes must be strong enough to control or dissipate the heat and to stop the vehicle with minimum displacement in urgent situations.

The main property of the brake is that it should cool down rapidly to avoid any structural imbalances to the brakes and another thing is that it should clean itself automatically.

Disc brake slows the rotatory motion of the wheel by the abrasion of brakes pads onto the wheel. During braking, kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, which heats the air present in between the brakes by which the durability of the brakes increases.

Finite element analysis helps in numerically solving any engineering problem. FEA represents every engineering problem in a numerical way by which the solution to the problems can be known and whether the process is feasible or no can be known.
