Technology & Engineering / Mechanical
This book presents selected, peer-reviewed papers of the Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI) CFD Symposium 2024, held at the Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi during 11–13 August 2024. The symposium was organized by the CFD Division of AeSI in association with the Birla Institute of Technology. The AeSI CFD Division has been involved in promoting computational fluid dynamics research and applications in India since its inception in 1998.
The volume brings together research contributions covering a wide spectrum of emerging areas in computational fluid dynamics. The selected papers highlight the advances in algorithms and numerical schemes. Emphasis is placed on applications in turbomachinery and internal flows, high-speed and compressible flows, unsteady flow simulations, and industrial CFD applications. Some aspects of recent developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning for CFD-driven design and optimization have also been highlighted.
This volume will be of significant value to researchers, engineers, academicians, and graduate and post graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, and related engineering disciplines.
Dr. Priyank Kumar is an Associate professor and Head of the Department of Space Engineering and Rocketry at the Birla Institute of Technology (BIT) Ranchi. He holds a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from BIT Mesra. He has academic and research experience in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, wind tunnel testing, and bluff-body flow analysis. His professional background includes teaching, research, and prior work in industry, along with involvement in several sponsored research projects supported by national funding agencies. Dr. Kumar has served in multiple academic and administrative roles within the institute, including coordination of laboratories, academic initiatives, and innovation-related activities. He is a fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India), a member of National Academy of Science India (NASI) and Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power (FMFP).His research interests include low-speed aerodynamics, wind-tunnel experimentation, missile aerodynamics, high-angle-of-attack flows, and applied computational and experimental methods.
Dr. Santanu Ghosh is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. His academic work is centred on computational fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on immersed-boundary methods and their applications to complex and turbulent flows. His research includes the formulation and assessment of algorithms for flow reconstruction near immersed boundaries, simulations of shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions and its control, transition modelling, performance analysis of morphing wings, and flapping-wing aerodynamics. Dr. Ghosh has published his work in several journals in aerospace and mechanical engineering and also presented at multiple international conferences. His work spans both fundamental aspects of numerical method development and applied studies relevant to aerodynamic performance and flow physics. At IIT Madras, he teaches core and elective courses on Fluid mechanics and Computational methods, and supervises doctoral and master’s theses in related areas.
