CFD Analysis of Microtabs as a Means of Reducing Aircraft Noise

Dynnatecc Lab, Univerity of California, Davis

This project aims to reduce aircraft noise through micro tabs, small devices that can be
attached to the trailing edge of aircraft wings to manipulate airflow and reduce noise. Additionally, the optimal position to place the micro tabs will also be studied.

Design Optimisation of Grids in Grid Fins for Missiles and Rockets

Individual, Kumaraguru College of Technology

This paper studies the performance of Hexagonal, Trapezoidal, and Triangular with
normal and tapered grids in Grid Fins with a focus on exit velocity for use in lower altitudes. The parts were designed in Fusion360 and analyzed through CFD Simulations. The data was then compared to physical
experimental values.

Extra - Curricular Projects

SEDSKCT - Mars Rover for IRDC 2021 (Team Genesis)

The project was aimed as a technical demonstration for the International Rover Design Competition 2021 by the Mars Society South Asia. The problem statement was to design a rover to map and analyze the caves underneath the Martian Surface with a mission duration of 10 hours.
Individual Role:

Team Founder and Project Lead - Team Size: 33 Members
Mechanical Systems Co-Lead and Suspension Design Team Co-Lead
Administrative Head

UAV for IPAS Challenge (Team Renaissance)

The project was done as participants of the inaugural International Planetary Systems
Challenge conducted by Mars Society South Asia. The problem statement was to design an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that could map the Martian Surface and also aid humans on the planet.
Individual Contribution:

Mechanical Team - Designed the Structural Frame of the UAV and conducted structural analysis.
