ABOUT SHENOUDA MEKHAEL
Support NASCAR vehicle development within Hendrick Motorsports’ Aerodynamic & Performance Development Department, with a primary focus on high-fidelity, CFD-driven aerodynamic optimizationBuild, prepare, and execute Simcenter STAR-CCM+ & NX simulations, including geometry cleanup, region and RBM setup, meshing strategies, and physics model selection for full-vehicle and subsystem analysesPerform detailed CFD simulations and aero mapping studies to evaluate downforce, drag, aerodynamic balance, and flow sensitivity across vehicle configurationsAnalyze underbody, underhood, and cooling flow paths, including radiator performance, pressure losses, and flow distribution trade-offsPost-process CFD results to extract force coefficients, pressure distributions, velocity fields, and flow structures, translating results into actionable aerodynamic recommendationsCollaborate with design, wind tunnel, and trackside engineering teams to correlate CFD predictions with experimental and on-track dataSupport continuous improvement of CFD best practices, model fidelity, and simulation efficiency to enable faster, data-driven performance decisionsAssist in identifying performance opportunities and development directions that improve aerodynamic efficiency, balance consistency, and competitiveness across race conditions
