      -MAE93@UCI in partnership with Air Systems of California - William Genevro• Using generative design to improve the flow uniformity at the outlet of an air duct for a re-modified 2008X X-series aircraft oil cooler• Utilized NX to prime the given geometry for CFD simulation• Simulated the velocity profile for the given air duct using StarCCM+• Using adjoint topology optimization to modify the internal baffles of the air duct; however, the solution failed to converge due to the lack of knowledge and training on CFD.• Proposed design solutions to the sponsor based on the benchmark velocity profile analysis.
