EP16 - Darrin Stephens - Chris Sideroff - Caelus

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 & why Red Hat Linux was a source of inspiration; • why they have "a thing" about validation; Shownotes Applied CCM — http://www.appliedccm.com/ Caelus — https://www.caelus-cml.com/
