CFD

• Characterization of fluid-structure interaction along the human larynx using ADINA.
• Developed a one-dimensional FSI code in FORTRAN for characterization of stress in vocal fold tissue during speech.

• Characterization of shock attenuation and combustion of jet and rocket fuel inside shock tubes (used OpenFOAM).
• Helped develop a one-dimensional gasdynamics (compressible CFD + chemical kinetics) FORTRAN code as a tool for design of shock tube experiments.

• Characterization of blade loads (in OpenFOAM) to validate reduced-order multi-physics models used for reliability of wind turbines.
• Developed an optimization framework for operation strategy of wind turbines considering reliability.
• Developed a novel statistical method based on SCADA for estimating fatigue loads that lead to damage in gearbox components.
