I've wanted to have a guest on the show to chat about artificial intelligence & machine learning in relation to CFD for a while now.

47:10

Simon & I celebrate 50 episodes of this podcast, share our thoughts on the last 2 shows & disappear down a few tangential rabbit holes. It’s just your typical social episode really, including: • getting it done - having ideas & then executing on them (even without a coffee boost) • different ways to make CFD more accessible (AirShaper & Discovery L…

In our third insight episode, Kurt Smithgall, formally of S20 Design, takes us into the fast-flowing world of whitewater-park design or, to borrow a phrase from Kurt - “recreational hydraulics.” Kurt gives us an insight into how CFD is helping in the design of whitewater parks & some of the challenges therein - including: • mitigating the risk of b…

You may have noticed that I’m a big fan of doing CFD in the cloud & a big fan of interesting CFD companies, so today’s interview is a particular favourite. I’m talking with Wouter Remmerie, founder of AirShaper a cloud CFD platform aiming to make aerodynamic analysis more accessible & affordable. Wouter shares his experiences, thoughts & stories on…

In the second of our "insights" series Brian Willis, of specialist engineering consultancy Astrimar, is taking us deep into the world of CFD for oil & gas. Not deep into the technicals, but deep under the ocean & into the mud. Hold onto to your headphones, we’re going downhole for a spot of plugging & abandonment. Brian gives us a flavour of what C…

You wait around for a CFD consultant interview & then two come along at once. This is the second “founder” interview of the season & the second CFD consultant - duff scheduling, my bad. Today I’m chatting with James Linfield, one half of the dynamic duo behind Navier Flow Consultants – a (relatively) new CFD consultancy based in Nottingham, UK. Jam…

🎉 We’re Back 🎉 It's time for another a round of "social" episodes. In this season, Simon & I will be discussing our takeaways from the latest interviews, sharing cool CFD-things we’ve seen on the internets & generally shooting the CFD-breeze.

Insight - CFD in the Built Environment 33:39

5+ y ago33:39

33:39

This is the first of our new style of shows where I talk to CFD practitioners / experts / “those that do” to find out what CFD looks like in their world. We typically start these episodes with an overview of how CFD gets used in their industry, then zero in on some of the uniquely challenging aspects and dig a little deeper. In this show I’m talkin…

It’s the first episode of Season 04 & we’re back with the usual problem - how to condense 25+ years experience running a simulation business into a single episode.

Social - Do you need a PhD to do CFD? 42:54

6+ y ago42:54

42:54

Someone once described these episodes as Simon and I "noodling it out" - you get to listen to us working through our thoughts and (hopefully) coming to some conclusions or at least giving you something to think about. And that description probably best fits this episode. We started out with a provocative-ish question, left over from the NAFEMS epis…

Social - NAFEMS UK Conference 40:29

6+ y ago40:29

40:29

We don't get out much. So when one of us does manage to break away from our workstation and get to a conference, it's worth talking about. Simon gives us the lowdown from the NAFEMS UK conference including his key takeaways, what themes stood out & what was missing. Question of the day "which conferences are worth getting out of the office for and …

Social - NASA CFD Vision 2030 1:01:30

6+ y ago1:01:30

1:01:30

In this episode we break down some of the NASA CFD Vision 2030 document, to see if our vision of CFD in 2030 looks anything like NASA's (spoiler alert - not so much ;-). We pick out some of what we feel are the most important topics & put them in context of where we (Simon & I - not the industry as a whole) are now & where we think they're going. P…

Social - Cloud CFD - Part 02 54:23

6+ y ago54:23

54:23

We've still got our head in the the clouds this week, covering some of the topics we didn't touch in the last episode. Including –but not limited to– addressing your cloud security concerns by having a cloud-in-a-box delivered to your front door (not exactly elastic computing). The data transfer conundrum & why I think that you need to think a litt…

Social - Cloud CFD - Part 01 48:37

6+ y ago48:37

48:37

We could talk about cloud CFD until the cows come home (& we did) so we've split this topic in two. In this first part, we start by trying to answer the question - what do we even mean by "cloud?" - before going on to elaborate on some of the differences between doing CFD in the cloud and in-house. Simon picks me up on why I think "bursting into th…

Social - ParaView 43:59

6+ y ago43:59

43:59

This second instalment of the Social can only be described as a fanboy-episode. Simon & I coo over ParaView whilst discussing post-processing in general. We touch on what we need from a post-pro package, how we do our post-pro & why we're so fond of ParaView. I guess the question of the episode is - "when an open-source package is this good, why ev…

Social - Intro 13:22

6+ y ago13:22

13:22

Not your usual Talking CFD episodes & definitely not an interview. Rather it's a series of conversations between two friends who’ve both been CFD-ing for a while & take an interest in what’s been, what’s what & what’s to come in CFD. Topics vary from show to show, but over the course of a few episodes we’re likely to give our take on (amongst other…

NUMECA 36:15

6+ y ago36:15

36:15

It’s always a pleasure to talk to a guest that has been at the top of our industry long enough to help shape how it looks today. Professor Charles Hirsch founded NUMECA 25 years ago, and has grown it into one of the pillars of commercial CFD, particularly in the maritime sector. It’s difficult to distil 25 years into a 30-minute interview, so we do…

Resolved Analytics 30:23

It's always good for me to speak to other CFD consultants. It's an opportunity to compare notes & to make sure that I'm not missing out on a "magic bullet" that no one told me about. Today I'm talking to Stewart Bible of Resolved Analytics about how he built a CFD consultancy, sold it & then built another one. We chat about: • the acquisition proce…

Engys 35:08

35:08

I enjoy all the interviews, but I particularly enjoyed this one — part-business, part-history lesson, in a good way. I’m joined by Eugene de Villiers to talk about the company he co-founded – Engys. Alongside discussing Engys, it’s products and services, we also dig into the wider world of OpenFOAM, including: • Some of the early history, before FO…

I’m talking with Luboš Pirkl, one of the co-founders of CFD Support, a multi-faceted CFD company based in Prague, Czech Republic. We dive into some of the usual stuff that comes up when we talk OpenFOAM, but Luboš also gives us some extra insig…

New Episode – New Tech. In this one we're looking at the move towards GPUs for compute & talking with Envenio - one of the companies looking to take maximum advantage of this emerging hardware trend for better CFD. I’m not super-familiar with what you can (and can’t) do with a GPU in a CFD context - so forgive me if I ask some 101-level questions. …

It’s the last episode of this season & we’ve covered some ground in those 10 episodes. Both in terms of the types of CFD we’ve featured & the countries we’ve touched. So I’m pleased to round out the season with a combination of the two. I’m joined by Joana Bretz, founder of CINAR Brazil, a consultancy that uses specialist CFD to solve some pretty c…

In this episode, I’m talking with Sandip Jadhav, one of the founders CCTech - the team behind a host of CFD-related projects.

32:55

As this is the last 1-to-1 interview episode of the season, I thought I'd try something a little different.
