SOLAR GATORS / CFD ANALYSIS
Cooling duct airflow.
Evaluating how a custom intake directs cooling air toward the battery pack.
01 / MODELING THE DUCT
Building the flow model.
I prepared duct geometry and developed an ANSYS Fluent model to evaluate velocity, pressure, and mass-flow performance.
The setup used a 30 mph velocity inlet and a pressure outlet. I refined the mesh and solver setup to achieve a converged solution.
02 / CONNECTING THE WORK
From the intake to the pack.
This study provided a foundation for my subsequent work on battery-pack airflow and heat transfer.
