CFD Engineers are mechanics experts responsible for performing CFD (Computational

Fluid Dynamics) and thermal analysis. Typical duties listed on a CFD Engineer
resume include solving technical issues, improving quality, assisting the design
team, preparing CDS reports, taking part in team meetings, and providing design
engineering services. Based on our collection of resume examples, these experts
should demonstrate engineering expertise, CFD knowledge, problem solving
orientation, attention to details, good communication skills, and time management.
Eligible candidates usually hold a Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field like
engineering.

CFD Engineer
Design and CFD Analysis of a regenerator for a Turbo Shaft Helicopter Engine

Thermal analysis were done on the exhaust of a Turbo Shaft Engine, to confirm that
considerable amount of heat energy is present.
Designed the Regenerator to recover the heat and pre-heat the compressor, taking
into consideration the weight and space limitation.
CFD analyses were performed, and Results were compared to other regenerators.
It was observed that the thermal efficiency can be improved by 5% and specific fuel
consumption can be reduced by 20%

Performed CFD analysis of air flow dynamics to evaluate flow pattern and reduce
pressure drop of the liquid desiccant air conditioning units components (coils, fan
housings &, media bed shape) for a range of unit capacities (500-20,000 CFM).

Conducted CFD analysis for understanding the hydrodynamics and heat transfer
through different components of the air conditioning units to optimize the size of
heat exchangers and media beds.
Performed numerical simulation of heat/mass transport and distribution of aqueous
two-phase flow inside the sumps of the units to reduce the energy loss using ANSYS
Fluent.
Lead design engineers and test engineers to launch of new generation 22,500 CFM
liquid desiccant air conditioning unit.
Assessed test results, developed correlations with experimental data and suggested
corrective actions as required to optimize air flow pattern, heat/mass transfer.
Analyzed and negotiated design to increase the HVAC performance and reduce the
cost. (Cost reduction ranged from 7% to 35% based on unit capacity).
Developed and maintained HVAC Bill of Materials (BOM) including component
requirements and prepared CTS (component technical specification).
Daily collaboration with refrigeration, manufacturing and control Engineers as well
as other key areas of the organization to creatively and jointly develop the
overall optimal solutions.
Recognized the source of carry-over liquid desiccant after the media beds. The
proposed modified manifold led to 40% cost reduction and 200% reduction in carry
over and the proposed design was patented (SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE TRANSFER,
DISTRIBUTION, AND RETENTION OF A FLUID IN A HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGER (pending)).
