A podcast for self-confessed CFD nerds 🤓
A show where we geek out on CFD-related stuff, talk to founders about their CFD “journey” & chat with industry experts about what CFD looks like in their world.
It’s not technical, it’s never technical, but it is niche. So, if you know your lattice from your Boltzman & a discontinuous Galerkin doesn’t sound like a medical condition, then you’re in the right place.
This is the show for you & you are most welcome 🙏

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 building a water park that doesn’t work
• dealing with uncertainty in geometry & flow conditions
• scale - both in terms of the mesh/physics, but also the length of the transient simulations
• the importance of domain expertise & whether you need to be a paddler to do this job
• the future - mixing CFD post-pro & virtual reality to “paddle” features before they’ve even been built
