Breakthrough Technology for a Secure Future

Technical breakdown:

CFD sim of a fuel–air explosion:
1️⃣ Fuel disperses into vapor.
2️⃣ Mixes with oxygen.
3️⃣ Ignition creates a fireball & sustained blast.

Thermobarics: lower peak pressure than TNT but higher impulse - lethal in enclosed spaces.

[Synthetik @synthetik_tech]

One of the most powerful non-nuclear weapons: the fuel–air (thermobaric) explosion.

Long-lasting blast (impulse) - lethal against bunkers/buildings.

🎥 Vapor cloud ignites ➡️ shockwave races out.

Some countries ban them. Others still build them.

Following selection to the Team Hypersonics UK Framework, we compare #blastFoam results with experimental data for the HIFiRE vehicle at Mach 7.19.

Still free, still #opensource, still awesome.

A really interesting day at the Battery Tech Expo Silverstone 25th April 2024, gathering information on current and emerging battery technologies and innovations. Our BD Manager was so tempted to swing onto the track but decided not to as her hire car wasn't an EV or racy enough!

Synthetik is delighted to have been selected to join the #SeaJapan trade mission. We are extremely grateful to @TMABlueTech , and @TradeGov (@CommerceGov) for this opportunity and look forward to supporting the U.S. Maritime Technology Export Initiative to promote U.S. #BlueTech.

#blastXiFoam simulates a deflagration to detonation (DDT) experiment by @TU_Muenchen

The model resolves critical aspects of the flow:

1) correct turbulent burning rates,
2) local density increase due to shocks, and
3) potential for shock induced detonation.

#blastFoam simulating thermal effects from detonations.

1. Janaf thermodynamic model to calculate gas temperatures.
2. fvDOM to calculate thermal radiation from the fireball.

Fireball & shock front visible. Thermal radiation dose shown with grayscale color map.

We are delighted to have been selected by @AFWERXChallenge to showcase OBEX Aircraft Revetment as part of their Expedient Basing Challenge Focus Area 1 - Site & Logistics Optimization. OBEX is a modular, scalable, fully transportable, expeditionary protective walling system.

[Synthetik @synthetik_tech]

OBEX Aircraft Revetment – expeditionary protection set up in hours. Showcasing at AFWERX this week. Self-contained, modular and scalable blast and ballistic walling system that is fully recoverable, reusable and easily repaired, providing survivability, resilience and flexibility

Another blastXiFoam simulation. The solver leverages the #blastFoam flux schemes to transport the conserved quantities, and this allows a more accurate description of combusting highly compressible flows (e.g., #DDT)

378M children believe in Santa
3.5 children/house = 91.8M homes

823 visits/s on a total trip of 75.5M miles

Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles/s, 2.4M mph, 3000x speed of sound!

Why OpenFOAM?

Recently I have been asked, "Why OpenFOAM over proprietary solutions?". Here are my (personal): https://t.co/1S5y9qOe6G

Lots of questions from #blastFoam users regarding gas explosions.

blastXiFoam leverages the blastFoam flux schemes and allows more accurate description of combusting highly compressible flows (e.g., DDT).

[Synthetik @synthetik_tech]

A great day at The @LartaInstitute #eco2023 @NOAA #sbir Demo Day yesterday. The team were ably represented by our Director of Research and Development, Josh Hatfield, describing DeepSpaceAI - a web-based software platform for improved #environmental modeling and #forecasting.

[Synthetik @synthetik_tech]

We're attending the @Lloyds_Lab Demo today, listening to the latest innovations under the theme of ‘Asia-Pacific Climate Risk, Cyber and Sustainability’ & ‘Data Models and Processes’. Synthetik works with reinsurer @GuyCarpenter to enhance their terrorism modeling capabilities.

[Synthetik @synthetik_tech]

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) contaminate water sources, damaging water environments, killing aquatic life and are associated with serious health effects in humans. Synthetik are working with @NOAA to help develop better tools for environmental monitoring and forecasting.

[Synthetik @synthetik_tech]

Are you visiting the @LartaInstitute #ECO2023 this week? We will be sharing our development of #deepspaceAI - a web-based software platform capable of automated identification of environmental phenomena, for real-time #environmental monitoring and forecasting. Visit on Wed Dec6th
