Using Fuzzball to simulate air flow and drag

This quick demo shows Fuzzball running a simulation of air flow and drag, the kind of computational fluid dynamics work common in engineering and research. In just over a minute it moves through the stages of a Fuzzball workflow: preparing the job steps that make up the simulation, launching the workflow and then reviewing the results it produces.

There is music but no narration, so the video is best suited to viewers who want a glimpse of the Fuzzball interface and the flow from job definition to output. It pairs with CIQ's longer Fuzzball webinars, which explain how workflows, containers and compute resources fit together.

Key takeaways

• The simulation is set up as a Fuzzball workflow made of individual job steps prepared before launch.
• Once the workflow is started, Fuzzball runs the air flow and drag simulation and then presents its results.
• The video runs just over a minute with no narration, focused on showing the interface rather than explaining it.

Questions this video answers

Can Fuzzball run fluid dynamics simulations like air flow and drag?

Yes. This demo shows CIQ using Fuzzball to simulate air flow and drag. The workflow is built from prepared job steps, run through Fuzzball, and its results are then displayed, illustrating that Fuzzball handles simulation workloads alongside other performance-intensive computing jobs.
