Bio

Adarsh Prasannakumar earned Masters in Engineering Mechanics from IIT Delhi in 2017. He has over two years of industrial experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Mercedes Benz Research and Development India working on analysis of ports and piston of internal combustion engines. He worked as a Doctoral researcher in Junior Research Group of “Flow Physics of Laminar wing and Fuselage” as part of Cluster of Excellence SE²A - Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation [EXC 2163]. During that time, he developed ASPeCT (Actual Suction and Power Calculation Tool) which is used for the design of suction system for laminar flow control application. Currently, he is involved in the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking project known as the Fuel Cell Propulsion System for Aircraft Megawatt Engines (FAME). His research is centered on the numerical study of the air intake system of fuel cells using Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations. His research aims to reduce pressure loss and additional drag of the air intake through Adjoint Shape Optimization techniques.
