173 - Pathway to scalable fire CFD
Manage episode 445384491 series 2939491
CFD is the most talked-over subject in the Fire Science Show. There are two reasons for that: one, it is interesting and relevant for so many of the Audience, and two, it's something I do for a living.
There is also another reason: there are a lot of ideas and concepts of how CFD could be used "better", yet I struggle to see them make an impact in the world of practical engineering. I would love to see the CFD being used in fire as it is in aerospace or Formula1 industries, yet, there are some struggles and bottlenecks that prevent that.
In this podcast episode, I am trying to narrow down the issues and what breakthroughs are necessary to enable scalable CFD analyses for the future. We could get so much more out of our simulations if we fully benefit from the computational power revolution and pursue new data processing methods. The latter are discussed in-depth, showcasing our newest developments at the ITB.
Recommended Fire Science Show episodes:
- Fire Fundamentals pt 7 - CFD simulations in fire
- Fire Fundamentals pt 11 - Boundary conditions in CFD
- Episode 13 with Wolfram Jahn on Use and abuse of CFD
- Episode 81 with Kevin McGrattan on the origins of FDS
- Episode 167 with Jonathan Hodges on simulating fire effects and growth
