# Aaditya Wangikar on Tal

## Headline

Aerodynamics & CFD Engineer \| Passionate about AI\-Driven Flow Simulation \| M\.Tech IIT Kanpur

## About

I’m an Aerospace Engineer passionate about combining Computational Fluid Dynamics \(CFD\), AI, and physics\-based modeling to solve complex aerodynamic problems\. With a Master’s from IIT Kanpur and over 3 years of experience in aerodynamics, design optimization, and machine learning, I’ve worked on projects ranging from high\-altitude platforms and VTOL systems to supersonic dusty\-gas simulations and reentry\-like flow analysis\. My work bridges engineering physics and intelligent computation — developing custom solvers in OpenFOAM, and creating aerodynamic prediction tools I’m particularly interested in AI\-assisted CFD, reentry aerodynamics, and aero\-thermal modeling, with a long\-term goal of contributing to next\-generation flight and space systems\.

## Work experience

Engineer II \- Aerodynamics at NewSpace Research and Technologies, Jul 2023 \- Present · 3 yrs 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Teaching Assistant at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, Aug 2022 \- Jul 2023 · 1 yr, Teaching Assistant for the course TA101 : Engineering Drawing

Postgraduate Student at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, Jul 2021 \- Dec 2023 · 2 yrs 6 mos, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India

Project Intern at Indian Institute of Science \(IISc\), Mar 2021 \- Jul 2021 · 5 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Multidisciplinary work involves design and optimization of conceptual air breathing hypersonic vehicle\. Four different modules \- Aerodynamics, Aerodynamics, Thermo\-Structures and Stability were designed and analysed using MATLAB\. Scramjet integrated waverider was designed using Stream Thrust Analysis\. Forebody of the vehicle was designed using oblique shock relation\. Combustion unit was designed using Turbulent shear mixing relationship and generalised ODE for heat addition with increasing area for constant pressure\. Nozzle was designed using Method of characteristics\. Thermostructural analysis was carried out by calculating aerodynamic heat flux and subsequently determining the equilibrium wall temperature for given thickness amd material\. Waverider concepts were incorporated in integration of the vehicle and subsequently shock expansion method was used to calculate aerodynamic forces acting on the vehicle\. Stability analysis was performed to calculate position orientation and shape of the stabilizer\. Various parameters were identified and parameterization was performed linking input and output parameters\. NSGA and ANN concepts was used to build surrogate model which is used for optimisation of the vehicle\.
