Omid Bordbar
CFD Engineer, Aerodynamics & Hydrodynamics Specialist
About me
With several years of professional experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, propulsion systems, and thermal engineering, I have worked on more than a hundred engineering projects across aerospace, marine, energy, and industrial applications.
My academic background and professional expertise are rooted in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, with extensive experience in simulation-driven design, performance analysis, and engineering optimization. Throughout my career, I have been involved in the design, analysis, and validation of propellers, marine propulsion systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ducted fans, turbomachinery, pumps, turbines, cooling systems, underwater vehicles, and a wide range of fluid and thermal engineering systems.
I am proficient in industry-standard engineering tools including STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX, NUMECA Fine/Turbo, SolidWorks, and CFturbo. My work frequently combines fluid dynamics, heat transfer, aeroacoustics, fluid-structure interaction, stability analysis, and multidisciplinary engineering approaches to solve real-world engineering challenges.
My teaching philosophy is built on practical engineering experience rather than purely theoretical instruction. The courses are designed to help students, researchers, and industry professionals understand not only how to use simulation software, but also how to interpret results, recognize modeling limitations, and apply sound engineering judgment. Particular emphasis is placed on Verification and Validation (V&V), ensuring that simulations are both technically rigorous and physically meaningful.
Whether you are taking your first steps in CFD or seeking advanced simulation techniques for professional applications, my goal is to provide a structured learning path from fundamental principles to industry-level practice. Many of the examples and case studies presented in my courses are inspired by real engineering projects and practical design challenges encountered throughout my career.
As part of a modern approach to technical education, course narration is produced using advanced AI-generated voice technology to deliver clear, natural, and professional audio quality. This creates a consistent learning experience and allows students to focus on the engineering concepts and technical content being presented.
I look forward to helping you develop the knowledge, analytical thinking, and practical skills required to solve complex engineering problems with confidence.
