Rajat Walia — Product Manager
Hey, This is Rajat, a Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD Engineer by profession and a Team Player by Heart. I am on the never-ending journey of exploring the beautiful CFD & Thermal Engineering field. As an Aero-Thermal Engineer in Mercedes-Benz, I work on Vehicle level Aerodynamics and 2-Phase simulations using SPH & FVM for Mercedes-Benz Cars. At Valeo, As an CFD Engineer, I have worked on Powertrain Electrical products to improve the cooling efficiency by performing Aero-Thermal CHTs, Multiphase simulations for the E-Machines. I create and promote technical content and blogs related to science and engineering on my personal LinkedIn profile. Expertise: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Turbulence, Fluid Dynamics, Aerodynamics, Multiphase flow, Python, ANSYS, Star CCM +, PreonLab, OpenFOAM. I decided to pursue Engineering when I was in 10th Standard because I was a Science & Technology loving person since my childhood. I started following Formula One in 12th standard, that’s when I fell in love with Aerodynamic design. So, I decided to give my professional life a start with Mechanical Engineering. The decision which I am really proud of. I joined Vellore Institute of Technology, got graduated as Mechanical Engineer in the year 2019. I am very fascinated by Fluid Mechanics, Thermal Engineering & CFD. I have always been crazy to find out what is happening behind the laptop screen while solving non-linear PDEs using CFD and then relate the result with Fluid Dynamics. Another milestone for me was "Shaurya Racing", the Formula Racing team which I joined in 2nd year during my graduation which changed my perspective towards my career and gifted me with a passion. A passion to become a national champion at Formula Student Competition. Year on Year, we, as a Team of 20 members, designed and manufactured 3 Formula-Style Vehicles. I still remember I used to design parts on CAD, simulate them via CFD, and manufacture them. The garage, where I spent uncountable nights just to manufacture and see that car on 4 wheels. The only driving force was my passion and hunger to see my team among the top scorers. In 2018, we secured the 12th national rank at Formula Bharat Competition. And finally, our hard work paid off and, in 2019, we secured 5th national rank at that Competition.
