This project effectively models aerodynamic heating in a rotating spherical vacuum chamber using advanced CFD methods. The comparison between air and helium environments is insightful, with helium showing clear thermal advantages. Including viscous heating and full Navier-Stokes equations adds rigor. Cooling recommendations are practical and well-aligned with the findings. Overall, a technically sound and impactful study.

Working with Adaptive Concepts LLC on the thermal management of a fast-paced spherical centrifuge was a fantastic experience. Our team dove into full-on simulations using the Navier-Stokes and energy equations, even factoring in viscous heating to see how the system performs in air and helium. We uncovered some really important insights, especially about how helium has better thermal properties, which led us to design tips for preventing overheating. This project really helped us strengthen our understanding of thermal design and showed just how crucial it is to get boundary conditions and fluid properties right in high-speed enclosed systems. I’m proud to have played a part in a study that improves design strategies for aerospace and biomedical fields.

David Clark is an incredible mentor, and the project he proposed was a perfect balance of challenge and learning. It pushed us to develop practical engineering skills, especially in CAD and ANSYS, both of which are essential tools in the industry. Mr. Clark met with us weekly, offering valuable guidance and engaging in thoughtful discussions that really enhanced our learning experience. He helped us build strong problem-solving skills and provided us with great resources, which was especially helpful for someone using ANSYS for dynamic simulations for the first time. This was a 5/5 experience. Thank you, Mr. Clark!

It was a great pleasure and experience for my students and myself to work with Dave at Adaptive Concepts. The feedback and mentoring throughout the project really helped the student. One of the challenges in any project is " Scope Creep", the students and Dave were able to focus on ergonomic benefits of the Prototype medical device. The students presented their findings as a poster presentation at the Association of Canadian Ergonomists Conference. It was such a great experience all round.
