Bio-Inspired Disc Brake Dust Collector Design
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
Project Title:
Bio-Inspired Disc Brake Design with Dust Collection System (ANSYS Analysis)
Project Description:
I am a final-year engineering student working on a disc brake project. The main aim is to reduce the formation of the third body layer (dust and debris) on the brake disc by improving airflow and adding a dust collection system.
We have already:
Designed a basic disc brake model
Tried different groove patterns (including Tesla valve-inspired shapes)
Studied airflow behavior for dust movement
Now, we want to develop a final improved design using bio-inspired groove patterns that can help create unidirectional airflow, pushing dust towards the collection system.
What I Need Help With:
I am looking for an experienced engineer who can guide and assist with:
Suggesting bio-inspired groove designs (like leaf veins, shark skin, etc.)
Modifying the existing disc model with final groove geometry
Setting up and running CFD / airflow analysis in ANSYS Workbench (or similar)
Comparing:
Modified disc vs unmodified disc
Airflow pattern, dust movement, and performance
Helping interpret results and improve the design if needed
Tools & Skills Required:
ANSYS Workbench (CFD preferred)
Experience in fluid flow / airflow simulations
Knowledge of brake systems is a plus
Basic understanding of bio-inspired design
Expected Output:
Final disc brake CAD model with bio-inspired grooves
Simulation results (velocity, pressure, flow pattern)
Comparison between old and new design
Short explanation/report of results.
Timeline:
Flexible (preferably within 2-3 weeks)
Additional Notes:
This is an academic project, so clear explanations and guidance are important. I may ask questions during the process.
