Thermal-Structural Analysis of a 1:30 Low Earth Orbit Satellite
(July 2025 )

What (Task/Objective):

  • Investigate the thermal and structural behavior of a small satellite in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) through computational simulation, using SolidWorks Flow Simulation and finite element analysis (FEA) tools. The study aims to analyze the effects of solar radiation, orbital shadowing, and radiative heat exchange on surface temperature distribution, contributing to a deeper understanding of passive thermal control strategies in orbital environments.

​​​

How (Method/Process):

  • Designed and simulated a satellite CAD model in SolidWorks to evaluate passive thermal regulation in LEO using surface-to-ambient and surface-to-surface radiation

  • Incorporated internal heat sources, realistic emissivity materials, and orbital conditions across multiple transient cycles

  • Attempted to extend analysis to atmospheric re-entry (Mach 27) with hypersonic heating, but was constrained by SolidWorks’ physical modeling limitations

​

Results (Outcomes/Impact):​​

  • Gained deeper insight into orbital thermal design principles and tool selection strategy for future aerospace simulations

  • ***Couldn't finish the project due to software limitations and the project scope exceeding the time***

Design and Development of an Aeroacoustics Noise Reduction Solution for Landing Gears
(Sept 2025 - May 2026)

THESIS

What (Task/Objective):

  • Identified, analyzed, and modeled the primary aerodynamic noise sources (aeroacoustics) generated by a representative aircraft landing gear during approach/landing.

  • Theoretically proposed and validated a passive or active noise reduction concept (e.g., fairings, porous surfaces, plasma actuators) that was technically feasible for implementation.

​

How (Method/Process):

  • A comprehensive study of existing landing gear noise generation mechanisms and reduction technologies was completed.

  • Ansys Fluent and other similar software were used to simulate the airflow and noise field around a simplified landing gear model.

  • A geometric design for the proposed noise reduction device was developed based on the simulation results.

​​

Results (Outcomes/Impact):​​

  • Demonstrated a reduction in predicted aerodynamic noise levels by applying a simulation-driven landing gear noise mitigation concept, with observable decreases in dominant tonal and broadband noise components.

  • Validated the feasibility of a passive or active noise reduction device by linking unsteady flow structures to key acoustic source regions, enabling informed geometry refinement based on aeroacoustic behavior.

  • Developed a repeatable CFD-based aeroacoustic analysis workflow that integrates unsteady flow simulation and noise field evaluation, providing a scalable methodology for future aircraft noise studies.
