Talking CFD Live

It’s the final episode of the season & if the previous episode was a little different, then this one is a lot different. I was joined by almost the full cast of the first season for an hour long Q&A session, originally broadcast live on YouTube.

Our expert panel comprised Wolfgang Gentzsch (UberCloud), Patrick Hanley (Hanley Innovations), John Chawner (Pointwise), Haysam Telib (Optimad), Fred Mendonça (OpenCFD), Karim Fahssis (MeteoPole) & our sales coach Jeff Waters.

The sound quality isn’t up to standard, but hopefully the content makes up for it somewhat. We touched on:

• emerging technologies that could benefit CFD in the near future
• the “democratisation of CAE”
• the trends in outsourcing CFD groups in industry
• whether a CFD developer needs a computer science/engineering degree
• whether CFD will play a big role in healthcare & what other sectors could CFD benefit right now
• whether recent Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning developments (E.g. AlphaGo) could have any application in CFD
• what CFD businesses the panelists might start, if they had to start again right nowsk
