Projects

Details of some of the projects that I've done as part of my coursework can be found in this section. In my opinion, besides requiring a significant amount of effort, these projects also taught me a lot about the subject on which they were based.

Computational Fluid Dynamics II

A benchmark problem in aeroacoustics is solved in this project. The problem involves sound wave propagation in a transonic nozzle and shock-sound interaction in a supersonic nozzle and has been solved using the optimized explicit DRP scheme in space and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme in time. According to my professor (Dr. Ray Hixon), my results were pretty good and compared well with those obtained by other respected names in the field of aeroacoustics. More details including the project report can be found here. The code was written in Matlab and is available upon request (use the CONTACT ME link).

Advanced Measurement Systems

This project was a group effort (Honghao Tan, Sunil Patil and Kirk Gomes) and involved transforming an experiment performed by undergraduates enrolled in the Mechanics and Vibration class so that it could be performed remotely from any computer in the world equipped with an Internet connection and a browser (and proper login credentials). More details including the project report can be found here. The LabVIEW VIs are available upon request (use the CONTACT ME link).
