CFD Engineer & Independent Consultant

Hi, I'm Vaibhav.

I design, build, and run CFD simulations across ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM — and I write the solver code too. From developing custom OpenFOAM solvers and Fluent UDFs to building ML-accelerated surrogate models and automating HPC workflows, I bridge the gap between simulation science and engineering delivery.

Consulting Services


With a research background from IIT Madras and hands-on industry experience at ANSYS and IIT Bombay, I deliver rigorous CFD solutions — from application simulations to custom solver code.

01
CFD Simulation & Analysis

Industrial-grade simulations using ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM — internal/external flow, convective heat transfer, turbulence modelling, and aerodynamics for research and industrial problems.

02
Multiphase Flow & Heat Transfer

VOF, DPM, and Eulerian multiphase simulations for boiling, cavitation, spray, and dispersed two-phase flow. Validated against benchmark and experimental data.

03
Solver Development

Custom OpenFOAM solvers, Fluent User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in C, and FDM-based solvers built from scratch for physics not covered by standard packages.

04
ML & Scientific Computing

Reduced-Order Models (ROM), surrogate model development, and machine-learning techniques applied to CFD data — enabling fast, reliable predictions without full simulations.

05
HPC & Workflow Automation

Python, PyFluent, and Bash scripting for automated simulation pipelines on HPC clusters — reducing turnaround time and improving reproducibility at scale.
