6. RESULTS Simulations and productivity Boost the Innovation Reduce time to market by achieving a quick concept exploration Reduce the cost of the design stage  Trade-off to find btw simulation & experiment on demonstrator (ex. Wind tunnel) Provide solutions in diagnostic Reconstruct and understand known events by reverse analysis Identify the key parameters in multi-physics issues

7. RESULTS Simulations and productivity Optimise and guide the decision Technical/Economic optimisation Incremental/parametric process to identify the key parameters/phenomena  Predict future or unobserved situations  Improve the current situation Norms requirement check & product certification

8. RESULTS Boost innovation: TiO2 coating efficiency assessment 1.Extract the key parameters for product development 2.Tests KO → CFD/multi-physics with local effects

9. OUTLOOK Diagnostic: a production line of basalt fibers 1.Prevent damage to the production line (basalt solidification) 2.Advices for the adaptation of the production line to boost the line productivity CFD expertise (free surface flow and thermal transfers) Electro-magnetic analysis of the electrode effects Streamline of the molten basalt in the refiner (Colors represents temperature)
