Mr. Bhaskar Atta

Biography

He is a postgraduate research student within the Engineering and Physical Sciences Faculty, specializing in Fluid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). He completed his MSc in Computational Engineering & Design from the University of Southampton, where his dissertation focused on the “Effect of Reverse-Hinged Spoiler for Lift Control using High-Fidelity CFD.” Before pursuing his MSc, he completed a BEng in Automobile Engineering from D.Y. Patil School of Engineering and Technology. For his final year project, he designed and developed an Electronic Differential Logic for a Next-Generation 4-Wheel Drive EV, focusing on the integration of advanced control systems for enhanced vehicle performance. During his academic tenure, he gained practical experience by actively engaging in student motorsports competitions. Through these events, he worked on various key components of the vehicle, including the chassis and aerodynamics and developed expertise in FEA, CFD, design optimisation and numerical methods. Through these academic projects and hands-on motorsports experience, he has built a solid foundation in engineering and developed a passion for exploring advanced computational methods in fluid mechanics, CFD, and high-performance systems.

Current Research Project

Title: Investigation of Channel Flow Dynamics Under Asymmetric Pulsatile Waveforms: Effects of Reynolds and Womersley Numbers.

This research investigates the behaviour of channel flow under asymmetric pulsatile waveforms, focusing on the effects of varying Reynolds, Womersley numbers and amplitudes. The study explores the flow characteristics through laminar and turbulent regimes, providing insights into how asymmetry during acceleration and deceleration phases influences flow efficiency, drag reduction, and other fluid parameters. Through computational simulations and analytical modelling, the research aims to establish a deeper understanding of these effects, with potential applications in optimizing flow systems, reducing energy consumption, and improving system performance.
