BLUE – Micro Turbojet Project

As part of Aerotéc, I am currently leading the design and optimization of radial impeller and diffuser components for a student-developed micro turbojet engine. My responsibilities include:

Developing MATLAB scripts to calculate blade geometry, flow paths, pressure ratios, and performance parameters for the centrifugal compressor.
Creating detailed 3D CAD models of impeller and diffuser components in SolidWorks and Siemens NX, integrating aerodynamic efficiency with manufacturing constraints and structural integrity considerations.
Conducting CFD simulations in Star-CCM+ to validate impeller performance, analyze flow separation, and optimize blade angles to meet design targets.
Ensuring system-level integration of the compressor with combustion chamber and turbine sections to balance overall engine performance.
