CFD at P&G

An engineering section head for modeling and simulation at Proctor & Gamble gave the keynote presentation at the NAFEMS World Congress in Boston.  While the oft-quoted tale of CFD for a potato chip was repeated, P&G’s unique issues regarding simulation data management were cited.  While some companies can earn $1 billion by selling one submarine, P&G has to sell 7 billion items to earn the same amount of income.   Manufacturing that many items in a year places quite a burden on the effective use of modeling and simulation.
