Are you confused at how to have a successful CFD career? Are you overwhelmed by where to start?
Then this is the right channel for you. I've interviewed over 20 CFD experts (some with over 50 years of CFD experience) to share their stories of success and failure. There are no shortcuts to good CFD, but this channel will help you avoid detours.
I've coached 50+ CFD professionals and my clients have received offers from companies like Ansys, Meta, and other cutting edge research startups.
I started learning CFD over 8 years ago and went from fresher to leading a CFD team for a 1000+ person company 2.5xing my income in the process and I'm sharing with you how you can find work you love and get paid well doing it.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you and Patrick Roache for this enlightening episode. I particularly appreciate Patrick's remark that individuals with theoretical backgrounds are often very clever, even though they might not fully grasp the practical aspects of CFD initially. This feedback is encouraging and fuels enthusiasm for those wanting to learn CFD, even when they find themselves unable to understand some aspects, especially at the beginning of their learning journey. Thank you!
Continuing from the previous comment, I would like to know if the developers of the conservation equations, such as the continuity and momentum equations-from Euler to Navier and Stokes-relied on experimentation or if they exclusively used theoretical methods to develop these formulas.
I had the honor of meeting Pat in the early 2000’s at the formation of the ASME V&V Standards Committee on Solid Mechanics. Pat’s guidance and participation in that standards effort lent the committee instant credibility and enhanced the committee’s first standards document. Pat is a most generous person, both professionally and personally. A bit of insight into the this Renaissance man can be had by reading his co-authored book “At Sea At Sixty: Reflections from a Round the World Voyage.”
"Pat is a most generous person, both professionally and personally." Amen. What an example. If more people were like Pat, the world would be a better place.
Thank you very much for this conversation. It is very exciting to listen to Mr.Roache and the early days of CFD. As an aeronautical engineer with Ph.D., I came to know him in the early 1990s through his and P.Mueller's 1970 article titled "Numerical Solutions of Laminar Separated Flows" published in AIAA. After all these years, it made me very happy to see and listen to someone whose name and work I only know and therefore I respect. I can't wait to watch the rest of the conversation.
Thank you for this podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed the topics discussed, the questions posed, and the insightful responses and advice provided by Youcef.
@@HOW-TO-BECOME-A-CFD-ENGINEER Actually just found out that you did civil engineering. I have also just finished my civil engineering undergrad degree. My final year project was based on CFD. Glad to find your channel ❤
I have been following you both! And its really quite interesting that both of them used to take podcasts, I never knew that Jousef will be coming in your podcast and discuss about his startup! Learnt lot from kade as well as Jousef too:
@@youssefbalhouh4958 Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics by Ferziger, Peric, and Street. It's an excellent text, I'd recommend getting the 4th edition if you're going to purchase it.
Dominique's advices and best practices are gold, as I already took his courses these have ease the intricated path that learning FEA is, no magic formulas, just trial and error as it has been referred. Thank you both for this great session! 👍
Lessons Learned’ has become my go-to inspiration during my daily commute or at my desk today! I wish I can turn it into a book. John Chawner & Kade Beck Cannot be more grateful to share this with us.
I've known John since he was in college (different field)...I'm very glad that we remained in touch with each other, and we've chatted about the ups and downs of our respective companies and families. He beat me to retirement--that rascal!
I'd love to hear what you found most helpful and what questions/topics you'd like addressed in future episodes! So please comment below or send an email to podcast@cfd4industry.com
As a lead engineer listening to this interview was fascinating than I had expectation. It is quite rare to have such content and I am grateful for your effort Kade! Usually due to the complexity of setting up the model and the processes it might need, design teams unfortunately prefer to go with higher specifications.
Thanks @temenow! I'm grateful Peter was willing to join the show. Yes, each industry is unique, but the overall trend is that simulation is getting adopted more and more we'll be forced to be more precise and less "overly conservative."

basis of science was verification by independent observers. improved communication reduces independence, which reduces posssibility of scientific verification. mankind might find its research capability reducing bdcause of the ease of communication.
Mr. Chopra's explanation of quantum computing is on another level. I had the pleasure of meeting him during the ACFD conference in Bangalore, and he truly is awesome. Thanks for the talk.
That's a great question. I'm pretty sure that Fluent has a larger marketshare. But more importantly, I think when you focus on physics first, learning a new interface is much easier when you know what's going on under the hood.
Great guests make for great episodes! Mo has a wealth of experience and I'm so glad he was willing to share with us. Thanks for taking the time to comment, it means a lot!

Hey dear. I saw your RU-vid channel. Your channel has many videos but not enough views and subscribers. Your channel should be optimized, your videos are very good but your video optimization is very bad Example: SEO score is zero, no perfect title - description - no SEO friendly tags added, no social media sharing Platform and some in your RU-vid channel Settings are not correct. Because of this your video is not reaching the people who are interested and you are not getting enough views, likes and subscriptions Many problems for which your video views and subscribers are not good. As a result, your video views are not affected. You need SEO for your RU-vid channel immediately. As a video SEO expert, I look forward to your response. Thank you.
AMAZING KADE; I have no other words !! The way Saplding spotted the problem, "Parabolic equation has no diffusion that propagates upstream." That is accurate, but imagine when they were learning and developing all that knowledge. It may be common sense today but look at it from the eyes of the people developing all this... I worked on parabolized Navier Stokes Equations at the beginning of my PhD and it struck me the simplicity and its resolving power simultaneously! That reminds me about the elliptic nature of disturbance in the BL; I remember I had a discussion with a lecturer many years ago about the nature of signals that trigger transition !! AMAZING !!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Julio. Reminds me of this statement from Hirsch's text "As with many ideas which appear simple afterwards, the orginal development required deep understanding of the problems both numerical and physical."
That episode was amazing! The creativity of the CFD developers in using pure physics to describe complex phenomena is truly inspiring. Thank you very much!
I enjoyed our discussion very much. For the next sessions, I recommend that 1. It would be great to have an expert working on CFD and AI (ML) together, most likely on flow past over airfoils, cylinders, etc., 2. CFD and parallel computation Thank you.
I think what resonated with me was the distinction between being a scientist and an engineer. Which is the difference between good enough to solve problems vs state of the art accuracy. Sometimes there can be frustration from CAE simulation engineers in small teams dealing with both method development and production pipelines, that designers do not care enough to understand the physics and limitations behind the insights given to them, they just expect an answer of go/no-go. When designs have less margins due to cost and efficiency reasons, models which were previously sufficiently accurate suddenly need improvement and this is where engineers need to put on scientist hats to figure things out. I think ability to adapt to this role switch is important to have in a career in this field.
