Ankur Jain

• • Performed high-fidelity multiphysics CFD simulations (STAR CCM+) to analyze coupled fluid flow, heat transfer, and phase change phenomena in thermal systems.

• • Developed physics-based 0D/1D models (MATLAB, Python) to predict system-level behavior and enable data-driven design decisions.

• • Automated simulation workflows and conducted parametric studies, accelerating R&D cycles and design optimization.

• • Validated simulations against experiments (up to 99% agreement) and translated results into actionable engineering recommendations.

HyAMAPU)

• • Executed high-resolution RANS/URANS/LES CFD simulations in STAR-CCM+ to analyze flow, mixing, combustion, and heat transfer in hydrogen micromix combustors.

• • Investigated turbulence–combustion model interactions and flow distribution to improve combustion stability and thermal performance.

• • Performed simulation-based design studies from single injector scale to full combustion chamber configurations.

• • Validated numerical predictions with experimental measurements, achieving up to 98% agreement in NOx emissions, supporting R&D development of hydrogen combustion technology.

Development of evaluation tool EVA in MATLAB App Designer

• • Backend development of MATLAB App Designer–based 1D simulation tool for engine performance analysis of core propulsion components (compressor, turbine, mixer).

• • Implemented and validated modular, physics-based component models, including systematic error analysis and verification to ensure numerically robust, traceable, and reproducible results.
