About Ivan

Fire and thermal simulation engineer with 13 years of experience in CFD, heat transfer and fire dynamics. Specialist in FDS, Blender geometry preparation, and FireFOAM/OpenFOAM for advanced fire modelling. I help industrial clients assess fire scenarios, heat fluxes, smoke movement and thermal risks through high‑fidelity CFD.

I deliver complete studies: geometry preparation, meshing, simulation setup, transient fire modelling, radiation/heat flux analysis, and technical reporting. Strong background in radiation modelling (FireFOAM development), multiphysics CFD and industrial environments (oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, R&D).
