My Portfolio

A showcase of my projects and publications.

Hi, My Name is Marcus Ang

I find fluid flow interesting, but more importantly,
I'm passionate about the numerical methods to model engineering systems.

See some recent Activities below!

Porous Trailing Edge
For Noise Reductions

M.S. thesis project on noise reduction in separation/stall conditions. The flow field around the airfoil was predicted using LES while the acoustic properties were done using the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings Equation.

Wake Impact of
Wind Turbine Arrangement

Numerical analysis of the impact of three wind turbines aligned axially, diagonally, and in a staggered patterns. Actuator line method was used to model the rotor, and the wake was modelled using LES in OPENFOAM.

Guest Instructor on
Basics of FVM wih Applications

Designed and presented 2 trainings for a graduate level CFD course about OpenFOAM and High-Performance Computing. Some content on discretization and numerical schemes were presented, but a large portion was hands-on exercises on meshing, parallel computing, discretization errors and post-processing.

Graduate Seminar on
Surface Tension Driven Flow

Presented a graduate seminar to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Wichita State University. The content was focused on the improved volume of fluid method using the isoAdvector algorithm and in-house experimental methods to validate capillary rise.

Stirring my morning coffee

A fun CFD simulation where OpenFOAM's sixDoFRigidBodyMotion solver is used to stir some coffee and milk together. The coffee and milk are miscible, while the air interface remains immiscible.

Cessna 172

A fun CFD simulation of a Cessna 172 aircraft at a cruising speed of 122 knots.
