Project Scope:

Experimental and analytical study of an aerodynamic performance on airfoil wing morphing. The research aims to design an optimum combination of multiple types of wing morphing profiles. The effect of Fluid-Solid interaction is one of the major design factors in this project. MATLAB, SolidWorks, and ANSY-Mechanical model are the software used in this study.
Design and implementing cooling system of Gas turbine blades by creating CFD models using ANSYS- FLUENT. The performance of gas turbine engines can be improved by increasing the inlet gas temperature. Turbine blades can be damaged by high gas temperature, unless additional cooling mechanisms are incorporated to maintain the blades below an acceptable temperature limit.
