PhD. Dissertaion
subject: Numerical Simulation of Reactive Flow through Porous Media, Using LBM and GPU
Discription: The main part of this research is to simulate and analyze reactive flow in porous media. The main phenomenon which is interesting in this kind of physics is surface reaction in porous particles exposed to a flow field. LBM would be considered to simulate the flow field through porous media coupled to surface reaction on the boundary surface. To decrease the computational time, parallel processing using GPU is used to reach the significant speed up. In this matter, an in-house code is developed.  Also, to simulate the real geometry, image processing is added to convert the target geometry to a binary file in our simulator code. Simulation and analysis of chemical reaction in packed bed of porous media at the re-breathing system is one of the applications which would be considered. In this regard, the simulation of flow field and chemical reaction of converting CO2 into O2 through porous media is the main aim.

M.Sc. Thesis
Title: Simulation of a Sonic Jet into a Supersonic Cross Flow, Using Parallel Computing
Discription: As part of my M.Sc. thesis, I developed an in-house CFD code. On the first part of this project, I developed a general coordinate CFD code with parallel computing to simulate and to study jet into cross-flow interactions on a wide range of jet velocity (subsonic to supersonic) injection into supersonic cross-flow. I also developed another code to generate the required grid. As the second part of the project, I studied many effective physics of this flow structure (e.g., momentum ratio, jet penetration, etc.).
