Fluid Mechanics & Numerical Methods
CFD, solver development, high-order numerical methods, and HPC.
Sydney, Australia · Physics into practice
Engineer working across fluid mechanics, fire safety, and machine intelligence.
The hard problems never come with a template. I work from the physics up — research-grade methods applied to buildings, machines, and the tools engineers use every day.
The throughline
It looks like three separate fields. To me it's one habit of mind. The equations of motion in a turbulent flow, the physics of fire moving through a building, a model that learns from data — different problems, one demand.
I make the problem computable, ground it in the physics, and build something that actually works — from research solvers to performance-based fire strategies to the tools other engineers rely on.
Rigorous, computational, and built to work.
Domains I work across
CFD, solver development, high-order numerical methods, and HPC.
Performance-based design, fire & smoke modelling, real-world projects.
Neural networks and applied ML — pattern, prediction, intelligence.
EngToolbox and independent builds — turning methods into tools.
Selected work
Platform
A free, vendor-neutral, multi-discipline engineering platform — calculators, data sheets, standards references, and articles across fire, CFD, and general engineering. Designed, built, and written solo, from the brand to the numerics.
