CFD Project Portfolio

Dennis Joel Roman Salinas

Aerospace engineering student building recruiter-ready CFD project workflows with strong verification, validation, and reproducibility discipline.

Focus: CFD, V&V, automation, HPC execution

Domains: external aerodynamics, internal flows, and multi-physics simulation workflows

Tools: Fluent, FENSAP-ICE, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, Python, MATLAB, SLURM

Role Focus

Targeting CFD and aero simulation roles where V&V discipline and decision speed both matter.

What Each Project Shows

Setup assumptions, solver workflow, validation checks, and reproducible post-processing outputs.

Current Project Tracks

HyTech Racing Formula SAE-EV, Ben T. Zinn Combustion Lab, and the High Powered Electric Propulsion Lab.
