This project presents a numerical study of heat transfer in a heat sink using ANSYS Fluent. Four cases were simulated, including pure water (single-phase) and three nanofluids (water mixed with TiO₂, SiO₂, and Fe₃O₄) using the mixture multiphase model. The geometry was created in ANSYS DesignModeler, and a high-quality mesh of about 1.6 million elements was generated. A pressure-based, steady-state solver with the SIMPLE algorithm was applied. The results, illustrated in contour plots of velocity and temperature, show that nanofluids enhance cooling efficiency compared to pure water. Among the tested fluids, the Fe₃O₄–water mixture demonstrated the best thermal performance at the fins and base plate, highlighting its potential for advanced heat sink applications

Tower aerodynamic project presents a CFD analysis of the Burj Khalifa (828 m) and Jeddah Tower (1000 m) under a steady 10 m/s wind using ANSYS Fluent. Geometries were built in SpaceClaim/Design Modeler and meshed in ANSYS Meshing, later converted into polyhedral elements for efficiency. A pressure-based steady solver with the Realizable k-ε turbulence model was applied, with velocity-inlet and pressure-outlet boundary conditions. Results show pressure drag dominates in both towers, while torque due to height is a critical factor, influenced strongly by tower geometry.

In Quadcopter Aerodynamic Analysis, a numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the Dynamic Stability Derivatives of a quadcopter using ANSYS Fluent. A 3D symmetric geometry of the quadcopter was designed in SpaceClaim, capturing the essential aerodynamic features of the body and blades. The geometry was meshed using ANSYS Meshing, resulting in a high-quality grid with 3736312 elements. The simulation was performed in an unsteady (transient) framework to capture the time-dependent aerodynamic behavior. Mesh Motion techniques and User-Defined Functions (UDFs) were employed to define the rotational motion of the blades and the oscillatory motions of the quadcopter. This approach enabled the extraction of stability derivative data, providing insight into the dynamic response and control requirements of the quadcopter system.

This project involves the simulation of a broad-crested weir using ANSYS Fluent to analyze fluid dynamics parameters. The primary goals are to assess the flow rate, drag force, and water level at various sections of the weir and compare these with experimental results. The geometry is created in SpaceClaim and meshed in ANSYS Meshing, resulting in a structured mesh with 1,222,021 elements for improved accuracy. The CFD simulation employs a pressure-based solver and a multiphase VOF model to address the incompressibility of fluids, with air as the primary phase and water as the secondary.

This report presents a simulation which investigates the multiphase flow and mass transfer phenomena within a pressure cooker, focusing on the interactions between liquid water, water vapor, and air. The evaporation rate, pressure build-up, and temperature distribution within the pressure cooker were analyzed over a 30-second period. A high-quality tetrahedron elements mesh was generated using ANSYS Meshing software. Appropriate multiphase settings and boundary conditions were applied to correctly simulate the boiling process and vapor generation.
