1	#	Title	Detail	Essential Skills	Desirable Skills
2	1	Developing Gas Turbine Performance Analysis Tool	Developing an in house tool to predict and study the gas turbine engine performance. Initial plan is to cover the steady state performance predictions and later developing this to study transient performance. Developing a FORTRAN code in modules to predict the performance of each component of gas turbine engine. Further, correlating the performance of each module to the whole gas turbine engine performance.	Good gas turbine engine and propulsion domain knowledge. Interested in FORTRAN coding.	Good gas turbine engine and propulsion domain knowledge
3	2	Random field discrtisation and application in FEM	1. Devlopment of Code for Random Field discretisation for Gaussian Fields. 2. Application of RFD code to Simple FEM application 3. Development of GUI	Good FEM knowledge and Interested in coding	Good FEM background and love of mathematics
4	3	Development of stator blade using naca aerofoils	1. Development of code for generating Stator Blades. Development will staged and the larger goal is to create a general purpose tool for practical application 2. Development of GUI that will latter be extended to a preliminary compressor design program	Good knowledge of gas turbine propulsion and Interestd in coding	Analytical and Logical skills
5	4	Development of CFD post processor and analysis tool	One of the simplest yet most useful applications of scripting is the automation of manual interaction with the computer. Here, it means running programs for mesh generation, flow simulation, post– processing analysis, and plotting, and doing it over a complex matrix of initial conditions, boundary conditions, fluid properties, and geometry variants. Python scripting provides the ability to interact with both the operating system and each of the component codes, and to perform complex analysis and plotting. With this objective in mind, a modular approach will be adopted with a small achievable targets for each set of students for a targeted three months of duration. The process will continue with various student groups keeping the greater objective in mind.	Good knowledge of excel and data analysis and interested in coding	Python
6	5	Developing Rocket Engine Performance Analysis Tool	Developing an in house tool to predict and study the solid and liquid rocket engine performance. Initial plan is to develop a tool to carry out a basic level steady state performance predictions. Developing a FORTRAN code in modules to predict the performance of a typical rocket engine (solid or liquid rocket engines) under consideration.	Propulsion domain knowledge. Beneficial for students who have opted for “Rocket Propulsion” subject as their specialization. Interested in FORTRAN coding.	Propulsion domain knowledge.
