FDS, OpenFOAM, code_aster, EnergyPlus, OpenRadioss and more: describe what you need in plain language, and your AI assistant prepares, checks, launches and analyses the simulation on cloudHPC. Running a simulation in the cloud has always meant many small technical Read more
The classic design loop in CFD goes like this: guess a shape, mesh it, simulate it, look at the result, tweak the geometry, repeat. It works when a design has three or four parameters. It stops working when the Read more
Some flows don’t cooperate with a mesh. A wave breaking over a seawall, a dam failing catastrophically, debris tumbling through floodwater, a tank sloshing under motion — these are all problems where the free surface fragments, merges, and moves Read more
On September 8, 2026, OpenAI announced that an internal AI system had produced a proof that the three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations can develop a singularity in finite time. The announcement generated significant attention — much of it inaccurate. This Read more
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) has been the standard CFD tool for fire and smoke modeling for two decades — and for just as long, its pressure solve has been a CPU-bound bottleneck on large domains. FireX, NIST’s experimental GPU-accelerated Read more
“OpenFOAM” isn’t one piece of software with one release schedule — it’s a name shared by three actively developed, independently governed codebases that diverged from the same origin and have been evolving separately for over a decade. On cloudHPC Read more
Coastlines are where the most damaging events in coastal engineering happen in hours, not years: a single storm can carve meters of dune out of a beach, breach a barrier island, or push a surge far enough inland to Read more
Multi-domain physical system modeling — electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, control — often gets split across separate tools that don’t talk to each other well. OpenModelica, the open-source implementation of the Modelica language developed by the Open Source Modelica Consortium Read more
One of the greatest strengths of OpenFOAM is its open architecture. Whether you are developing a novel turbulence model, crafting a tailored boundary condition, or building a brand-new solver from scratch, OpenFOAM gives you total freedom to extend C++ Read more
The 21th OpenFOAM Workshop in Guimarães, Portugal was a fantastic gathering of open-source CFD minds. For my session, I wanted to step away from the abstract theory and focus on something highly practical: OpenFOAM Automation. Whether you are an Read more
