🌍 Focus: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Thermal Systems, Space Materials, and Spacecraft Environment Simulation

I am a Space Engineering MSc student at the University of Miskolc with a background in Mechanical Engineering.
My primary focus areas include fluid flow, heat transfer, and solidification phenomena under extreme or space-like conditions.
I aim to combine CFD analysis with space materials research to simulate and optimize thermal and propulsion systems for space applications.

I enjoy working with tools such as:

• 🧩 ANSYS Fluent / CFX for CFD, MHD, and thermal simulations
• ⚙️ SolidWorks for geometry and mechanical design
• 📊 MATLAB / Python for data analysis and automation
• 💻 C for custom User-Defined Functions (UDF) in Fluent

• 3D MHD Simulation of Ga75In25 & Taylor-Görtler Vortices (Phase 2)
  3D periodic simulation investigating secondary flow regimes under RMF. Features a comparative study between a custom C-based analytical Lorentz force UDF and ANSYS Fluent's built-in MHD module, capturing kinetic energy dissipation via Taylor-Görtler vortices.

• Ga75In25 2D Axisymmetric Flow under RMF (Phase 1)
  Comprehensive 2D CFD parametric study and mesh independence analysis (65k vs 250k) of liquid metal. Rigorously validated the transition from laminar to turbulent flow ($Re^* > 4000$) using the experimental Pressure Compensation Method (PCM).

• MHD-Driven Flow in Continuous Casting (CFD Validation)
  Replication and validation of the electromagnetic stirring (EMS) experiment from Zhang et al. (2022). Implemented a custom C-based UDF for Lorentz force with frequency correction and soft-start ramping. Achieved <4.2% error margin against experimental benchmark data.

• MHD-Driven Solidification & Macro-Segregation (Multi-Scale)
  Numerical simulation of directional solidification and macro-segregation in Ga-In alloy under Rotating Magnetic Fields (RMF). Coupled solidification, species transport, and MHD flow using Solutal Buoyancy and Scheil Rule.

• Axisymmetric Bézier Nozzle CFD Study
  Bézier-shaped nozzle vs. De Laval — smoother shocks, lower wall forces, enhanced flow stability.

• De Laval Nozzle Analysis
  2D compressible flow analysis through a De Laval nozzle to observe choked flow and Mach distributions.

• NACA 2412 Airfoil Stall Study
  Lift/drag analysis with SST k-ω model; stall prediction and MATLAB visualization.

• Two-Phase Air–Water Flow (VOF Transient CFD Simulation)
  2D transient simulation of air–water interaction using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model in ANSYS Fluent. Includes geometry, mesh, interface contours, and animation of air–water phase evolution.

• Comparative Cooling: Wind vs Water Flow
  Performance comparison of air and water cooling for solar panel surfaces.

• PV Panel Cooling with Air Flow
  CFD study of photovoltaic panel temperature reduction using forced air convection.

• 2D Solar Chimney Simulation
  Natural convection flow and heat transfer study in a solar chimney structure.

• Supersonic Bullet Flow Analysis
  Supersonic flow modeling, drag coefficient validation between CFD and analytical results.

• Building Vortex Shedding Analysis
  Vortex shedding frequency and aerodynamic response of high-rise structures.

• Solidification of Water in a Square Cavity (2D Transient CFD)
  Transient laminar CFD simulation of water freezing using ANSYS Fluent — includes temperature and liquid fraction evolution, mesh visualization, and phase change animation.

• Structural Analysis of Roller Coaster Rails
  Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS and SolidWorks for optimal structural performance.

• Pneumatic Tube Automation System
  Automation concept for medical sample transport using pneumatic systems.
