Optimization of a function through genetic algorithm

AIM: The aim of this project is to write a MATLAB program to optimize the stalagmite function and find the GLOBAL MAXIMA of the function. STALAGMITE FUNCTION: Stalagmite function is as shown in the figure it is just like any other function. Here we are using the stalagmite function as a function that needs to be optimized to show how we can use MATLAB’s in-built function GA to optimize the stalagmite function.

Creating your own OpenFOAM solver

AIM: The aim of this project is to create a custom solver in OpenFOAM that solves a transport equation for a scalar named s. This project also aims to understand the structure of the OpenFOAM files and organisation that will help to make any changes required to make a new solver OBJECTIVES: The solver will be modified from icoFoam which is present in $FOAM/applications/solvers/incompressible/icoFoam. The case should be a scalar quantity ’s’ that is being transported by velocity u and the transport equation is represented by $$ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot (u s) = 0 $$ The case will be modified from
CFD meshing of a Tesla Cyber truck

CFD meshing of a Tesla Cyber truck

AIM: The aim of this project is to pre-process the tesla cyber truck and mesh it. The CAD model of which can be found here. OBJECTIVES: For the given model, check and solve all geometrical errors and Assign appropriate PIDs. Perform meshing with the suitable Target length and element Quality criteria. PROCEDURE: We start with importing the file. The geometry is filled with single cons to eliminate these we use the Topo option.

1D Supersonic Nozzle flow simulation using MacCormac Method

AIM: Aim of this project is to model the Isentropic flow through a quasi 1D subsonic-supersonic nozzle using mathematical equations and solve the equations to simulate a flow. OBJECTIVES : The objectives of this project are To solve the equations that govern the flow through a supersonic nozzle for both conservative and non conservative forms. To find the differences between them by comparing their solutions. Steady-state distribution of primitive variables inside the nozzle.

Parsing NASA thermodynamic data using MATLAB

AIM: The aim of this project is to write a MATLAB program that can read a file that contains thermodynamic data in a polynomial format (eg. files from CHEMKIN II). NASA thermodynamic data OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT: The above file contains a set of compounds for which a set of coefficients are given. These coefficients are used in the above equation to get the values for Cp, enthalpy, and entropy. Each compound or gas contains 14 coefficient and the first 7 coefficients are to be used if the temperature are high and the next 7 coefficients are to be used if the temperatures are low.
