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 🙏

Today I’m chatting with Jens Cornelis, one of the founders of FIFTY2 Technology – CFD software developers based in Freiburg, Germany & home to the particle-based CFD code PreonLab.
Jens shares some of the story of FIFTY2 Technology & the development of what became PreonLab, including:
• why PreonLab is about more than just pretty pictures (but boy, do they make some pretty pictures) & whether using a CFD package can actually be “fun”
• how it was a little “too physical” for Pixar
• how they “crossed the chasm” & their journey from academia (University of Freiburg) into business
• the benefits of partnering with a distributor & having an industry focus
A couple of “must watch” videos to get a better handle on what we’re talking about:
• The “wipers & rain” video I mentioned - https://youtu.be/J-tvjQVQ3hQ
• The water wading simulation Jens mentioned - https://youtu.be/zku5AJ-_NNI
• Another video featuring windscreen wipers, this time dealing with snow - https://youtu.be/YrWQsrBNDBg
