Together, with William Strain and Michael Davis, I am working on creating a baseline data set of a diverging diffuser that establishes standardized geometry, boundary conditions, and measurement definitions for wall static-pressure distribution across a controlled flow-speed sweep. This dataset will serve as the reference case for one-to-one validation of our ANSYS Fluent models, enabling comparisons of separation behavior and diffuser performance metrics before extending the work into turbulence-model sensitivity studies.
