Blender Ray-traced Render of OpenFOAM simulation
Posted on October 16, 2025 by Nicolás Diego Badano
Over the years, I've tried several times to produce proper ray-traced renders of flow simulated with OpenFOAM — but I always ran into severe artifacting. This week, I spent some time on it again, and I think I've finally found a workflow that works!
Dynamic Remeshing in OpenFOAM
Posted on September 17, 2025 by Nicolás Diego Badano
I've been experimenting lately with combining mesh deformation and remeshing in OpenFOAM. It's an interesting technique, with strong advantages and some drawbacks.
Flushing the toilet with OpenFOAM
Posted on August 13, 2024 by Nicolás Diego Badano
Flush toilets 🚽 are unsung heroes of modern life. Not only are they super practical; but they can be exciting as well from a fluid mechanics perspective!
Stratified flow with OpenFOAM
Posted on May 16, 2023 by Nicolás Diego Badano
We have been discussing a problem involving stratified saltwater/freshwater. I don't have much experience with this type of problem, so I'm doing a few OpenFOAM simulations to better understand how they work.
Stirring Coffee with OpenFOAM - Now as a human!
Posted on May 3, 2023 by Nicolás Diego Badano
Do you stir your coffee like Team Robot or like Team Human? In this video, we get to see how different those look, courtesy of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Flow through a tunnel with columns - cyclicAMI
Posted on February 23, 2023 by Nicolás Diego Badano
Once in a while, I need to compute a steady state flow solution along a channel, or a conduit with regularly repeating geometry. Using cyclic boundary conditions can lead to very fast solutions for those cases.
Flow through a fish passage simulation - Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES)
Posted on February 7, 2023 by Nicolás Diego Badano
I've been fascinated with fish passages for a long time, and always wanted to simulate one. Unfortunately, the couple of proposals I presented for different projects in the past few years were not picked up.
Stirring Coffee with OpenFOAM

Ever wondered what happens within your mug when you stir your coffee? In this video we get to see this process unfold, courtesy of Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
PhD Thesis Defended
Posted on October 23, 2021 by Nicolás Diego Badano
The day has finally arrived. On Friday, I defended my thesis and received my PhD in Engineering from the University of Buenos Aires.
