NIRANJANAN C K

I did my B.E. in Aeronautical Engineering followed by a M.Tech in Engineering of Flight Vehicles from AcSIR (Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research). I joined NAL during December 2012 as scientist at CTFD division. My current field of work at NAL is Mesh-Free Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for aerodynamic problems. Some of significant contributions after joining NAL are listed below,

• Development of a dynamic pre-processor for mesh-free CFD solver to handle aerodynamic problems involving moving objects.
• Distributed memory parallelization of NAL-MCIR Mesh-free CFD solver.
• Development of Store Separation Suite using the above mentioned dynamic pre-processor and Distributed memory parallel NAL-MCIR Mesh-free CFD solver.
• Currently involved in various projects relating to store separation from aircraft. Above mentioned Store Separation Suite is being used in all these projects to predict the trajectory of store after being released from aircraft.

Apart from these I am also involved in algorithmic research and development work in the field of mesh-free CFD.
