Do You Need a PhD to Run CFD‪?‬ The CFD Mixtape

    • Physics

This week, guest Eric Janz, Faculty of Practice at University of Dayton Innovation Center, joins John to discuss his experience with CFD and address a frequently asked question: Do you need a Ph.D. to run information from a CFD simulation?

In this episode, John and Eric talk about:


The acceleration of CFD over the past 25 years in industry and academia.
Traits and skills of successful simulators.
Advice for people who want to get good at CFD.

“The ability to understand what you're expecting out of the tool helps you inform whether or not you're getting reasonable answers. But I think getting your hands dirty and understanding the tool you're using is important to know what inputs you need to get good answers out.” – Eric Janz
