About Mbaye

Mechanical-energetics engineer specializing in numerical simulation and fluid mechanics, I work on CFD, thermal, and HVAC issues. I have worked on thermo-fluid studies in demanding environments, particularly at Renault through Segula Technologies, where I developed models, analyzed complex physical phenomena, and produced clear and actionable technical reports.

I master modeling, numerical resolution, and result interpretation, with a rigorous and performance-oriented approach. I place particular importance on physical understanding, mesh quality, the relevance of turbulence models, and the communication of results.

I can be involved in simulation, analysis, optimization, technical popularization, or methodological support missions.

    CFD Engineer – Thermal Comfort & HVAC
    AUTOMOBILE
    January 2024 - September 2025 (1 year and 8 months)
    Guyancourt, France
    Role Summary:

    CFD Engineer specialized in aeraulics, thermal comfort, and HVAC systems. Responsible for full CFD study cycles, from requirement definition to modeling, validation, optimization, and result presentation. Collaborates closely with project teams, internal experts, and software editor (Siemens) to ensure robust, industrializable methodologies.

    Key Achievements:

    - Led the transition of CFD methodologies from Ansys Fluent to STAR-CCM+, ensuring reliable and automated processes for vehicle HVAC duct design.
    - Developed complete CFD models for ventilation, feet heating, and windshield defrost systems, including automation of boundary conditions and post-processing, reducing analysis time and improving result clarity.
    - Conducted correlation studies between simulation and physical tests, enhancing model confidence and supporting project decision-making.
    - Authored methodological deliverables, templates, and HPC procedures to standardize CFD practices across teams.
    - Provided training and mentorship for new CFD users and supervised an intern on external aerodynamics with active flow control.
    - Collaborated with Siemens software experts to optimize model performance and validate numerical approaches.

    March 2023 - August 2023 (5 months)
    Nantes, France
    Role Summary:

    Intern in Research & Innovation focused on the numerical study of hydrodynamic behavior of flexible composite structures for an energy-generating hydrodynamic pump. Responsible for modeling, simulation, and analysis of fluid-structure interactions to optimize performance and understand resonance effects.

    Key Achievements:

    - Conducted numerical simulations of composite flexible structures under hydrodynamic loading using FINE/Marine coupled with deformation modes from Abaqus.
    - Performed modal analysis of composite structures, assessing the influence of anisotropy and natural vibration modes on lift and performance.
    - Identified resonance phenomena affecting hydrodynamic efficiency and structural behavior.
    - Designed and executed parametric studies and numerical experiments to evaluate performance across different configurations of composite.
    - Analyzed fluid flow hydrodynamic response to inform design improvements.
    - Applied knowledge of composite material behavior in marine environments to optimize structural and hydrodynamic performance.
