DFI's Rumble: Numerical Modeler vs Skeptic

DFI's Rumble

Episode 2 of DFI’s Rumble podcast pits Augusto Lucarelli — a seasoned numerical modeler — against Brian Anderson, Ph.D., — an academic researcher and educator at Auburn University. Anderson scores points when emphasizing that numerical models can be misleading and even dangerous without a sound engineering understanding. Lucarelli counters when he calls a numerical model a “tool” or “lab” where he can study the problem and come to a better understanding. These two heavyweights give must-have advice to aspiring modelers and information that is helpful to all.
