In this episode I’m talking with Nicolas Tonello of Renuda about running a successful CFD consultancy / development / training business. We also open the box on Code_Saturne - an open-source CFD software that you may not know too much about. Nicolas & I chat about:

• why being independent is so important to them & how it benefits their clients;

• how they balance their consulting, development & training activities;

• how CFD can be much more than just an R&D tool;

• what is Code_Saturne & why aren’t more people using it?

• whether an OpenFOAM user would feel at home in Code_Saturne & some of the compelling reasons to switch;

• a nugget of advice for anyone thinking of starting their own CFD consultancy;
