CFD and Multi-Physics Modeling, Multidisciplinary Engineering, Vacuum Science and Technology
ID: 725199
New Jersey, USA
Expert uses COMSOL Multi-physics software for his modeling work (Heat Transfer module, Chemical Engineering module, CAD files import module).
Expert has strong experience in modeling a wide spectrum of fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems. For example, he modeled forced and natural convection cooling of industrial equipment, radiation heat transfer, heat exchangers, continuum (laminar, turbulent, compressible) and free molecular flows in vacuum systems
Expert implemented computational models for high pressure (dense) fluid thermodynamic and kinetic properties.
Expert analyzed high vacuum processes and modeled performance of high vacuum equipment. He performed distributed outgas modeling to optimise vacuum system design. He modeled molecular flows in vacuum systems, dry vacuum pumps performance, counter flow diffusion of contaminants in semiconductor manufacturing vacuum systems, plasma processes in vacuum systems, etc.
Expert has strong experience in making quick quantitative estimates related to industrial technological processes as well as modeling a wide spectrum of technological processes. He has strong experience in helping customers to gain an understanding of complex manufacturing processes, develop process optimization techniques, benefit from an “arms-length” assessment of current manufacturing or process technology, overview and assess new technologies
Expert has strong theoretical knowledge in area of electrical breakdown and discharges in gases at low and atmospheric pressures. For example, he analyzed non-equilibrium "cold" plasma technologies related to plasma-chemical modification of molecular gases as well as treatment of effluent gases.
Expert developed models for condensing and boiling streams of cryogenic fluids, and led development of two-phase turbo-expander design computational tools. He modeled inlet flow evaporative cooling for air separation plants located in areas with hot and dry climate.
