Hi there 👋 I'm Thamil.

I'm a PhD candidate working on the supercritical water flow and heat transfer studies under Prof. Sandip K Saha and Prof. Amit Agrawal at IIT Bombay. My works involves modelling non-equilibrium in supercritical heat transfer arising due to variation in properties in buoyant-driven channel flows.

I love programming for,

  • Postprocessing and Data Visualization
  • Automating my workflows
  • Works on ANSYS Fluent, Python, C, C++

Currently Working on

  • Building a journal file from ANSYS Fluent case file for easier automation of cases within supercritical CLI
  • foamMeshToFluent3D and optimize it to run faster than in-built OpenFOAM converter
  • parametric study in supercritical CLI for batching multiple cases

Previously Worked on

  • supercritical_CLI: Fully automated CLI based ANSYS Fluent Workflow for simulating supercritical heat transfer through pipe
    • Meshing done in OpenFOAM Blockmesh
    • Conversion to 2D by own-code base (foamToFluent2D)
    • Property journal generated for maximum accurate interpolation based on gradient descent
    • Job handling, monitoring, postprocessing and then report generation based on defined template in LATEX.
    • Conducts a mesh dependency test based on optimized set of parametersand generate a report.
  • residual_HPC: Simultaneously monitor residuals for multiple ANSYS Fluent running in ROCKS HPC.
  • post_CLI: Postprocessing CLI tool based on pyFluent that batch postprocesses all files inside a target folder based on a template settings from JSON
  • foamToFluent2D: Mesh conversion tool for converting all structured 2.5D meshes in OpenFOAM into 2D meshes for ANSYS Fluent (polyMesh to .msh)
