Can computer simulations improve fly casting?


Welcome to an interest presentation, Wednesday night August 21, 17.00-19.00 at Åhus Resort. You will learn more about how to use simulation to improve the perfect cast.

Mr Hans Ekander;  M.Sc Mech. Eng. Chalmers Univ. of Tech. Gothenburg,  Lic. Eng. Appl. Mech., Royal Inst. Tech., Stockholm will
perform in a presentation customized for you. The presentation will be followed by an
open forum on issues related to competitive
fly casting.


The presentation will cover the
following topics:


  • Current status on simulation models for fly casting.
  • How to move between “the simulation world” and “the real world”.
  • Some possibilities presented by a modern simulation program.
  • Research experience: MIT (turbulence modeling), industrial applications e.g. ABB, Saab Kockums, Alstom Power, NKT.
  • My passions in life: My family, Fly fishing, Physics and Simulation.
  • Has developed a physically based simulation model for fly casting during 10 years.
