Today is the first episode with 2 guests – Darrin Stephens & Chris Sideroff – business partners in Applied CCM & based in Australia & Canada respectively.
Whilst Applied CCM have several CFD-related activities, this interview is essentially all about Caelus, their CFD software derived from OpenFOAM. I really wanted to take this opportunity to dig into the whys & wherefores of Caelus, including:
- what makes Caelus different to OpenFOAM, both in terms of features & philosophy;
- why forks/derivatives detract from their parent open-source project & what they signify;
- what “industrially-hardened” means in a CFD context & how Red Hat Linux was a source of inspiration;
- why they have “a thing” about validation;
