Emily Combs

Emily Combs is a senior at Liberty University studying Mechanical Engineering. Currently, she is researching how various non-Newtonian fluids behave compared to Newtonian fluids through simulations in Ansys Fluent and also researching on the flow of fluids through a channel and over a heated cylinder. Other research projects she has worked on include simulating pedal box and brake rotor behavior for a Formula SAE car during operation, rocket canard optimization, designing an inexpensive brick press, and the effects of a lack on backwashing on a Grifaid filter. She desires to continue her fluids research, especially if the research can help improve other people’s lives.
