My name is Tomer (Tom) Avraham. I have been around fluid dynamics, CFD, and Physics in general for the past 20 years. Spent time at workplaces that I can nothing but own great gratitude for (Israeli Aerospace Industry, Elbit, head of engineering in Ansys channel partner, a consultant to STAR-CCM+ channel partner), then enabled myself to continue and finish my Ph.D. in the topic I love the most with and an endless drive to learn something new each and every day whilst keeping my uncontrollable need for epistemic stimulus.

I’ve started this blog for my own enjoyment and it is still such. After hundreds of posts I feel the fire in me to keep on going in full thrust, and into the most interesting and challenging fields as my epistemic need for cognition drives me to.

I would be thrilled if each and every one of you would follow along beside me and Rajat Walia (my co-author and advisor to many of the ideas and posts) in parts of the path, and create an UPDATED mapping for the “All About CFD” territory which stretches way beyond our hundreds of publications with the aim of achieving totally FREE networking and collaboration worldwide platform to keep us all up to date with our dynamic CFD surrounding.

Shall we begin?…

Join our “All About CFD” for FREE (that will never change…) uploading of recorded new and classic lectures, free online recorded courses and webinars, textbooks, “All About CFD” related posts, and the most attractive and exclusive to “All About CFD” subscribers hiring positions, renowned/classic articles and tutorials poured frantically into “All About CFD” Telegram group as a contribution for more than 800 subscribers: https://lnkd.in/eYffuT9K
