• Wrote thesis report and published findings at SSRN

Project Title: CFD Analysis of Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger | ICEMCFD, ANSYS Fluent

Supervisor: Mostafa Rafid, Lecturer, Dept. of ME, SUST

• Collaborated on thesis, studied five cases, and optimized tube design using CFD models
• Applied laminar and turbulent models to analyze heat transfer and pressure drop
• Evaluated pumping power and thermal performance of heat exchanger (THPP)
• Published findings as a case study in the AIP Conference Proceedings

Project Title: CFD Study of VAWT Flow Control | ICEM CFD & ANSYS Fluent

Supervisor: A K Mashikuzzaman, Lecturer, Dept. of ME, SUST

• Studied various airfoils for VAWT and optimized lift/drag ratio (Cl/Cd) using Spalart–Allmaras model
• Applied passive flow control methods, including flap and trailing-edge gap
• Published findings in the AIP Conference Proceedings and on arXiv.
