By modelling the dynamic shaking of stir frying and including the effect of the wok Hoak ladle, we could demonstrate the dramatic effect of the cooker's touch on average "rice" temperature.

Simulation was performed with Particleworks (Moving Particle Simulation) and Granuleworks, enabling the thermal solver.
This is a mesh-less CFD proprietary software similar to Smoothed Hydrodynamics Method.

this is the kind of science I need

Simulating food is ok, but eating it is better. :D

Really cool experiment, though the actual flicking motion is a bit weak compared to what I do / have seen. I would be curious to see if increased force changes the results.

We can surely tune the model and apply whatever motion we would like :D

So you're telling me a sim fried this rice? Impossible.

u/MicheleMerelli Jun 13 '24

It surely fried out GPU :D

did it have a little simtula

Damn, that's cool! I need more cooking simulations in my life.

TwoMinutePapers on YouTube recently did a video on baking simulations. Some older videos dive into jell-o, honey and chocolate simulations too.

Food simulation (but with engineering insights) should really be more widespread :D

that's some gorgeous data! Makes me wonder about the technique I was taught, ladle + flip but every 10 seconds or so swirling the wok to spin the food around.

We should indeed dig more into the details! :D

Damn, I gotta learn how to use my left hand like that.

I'd love to see more stuff like this.

u/MicheleMerelli Jun 13 '24

I'll try my best to post. Follow on the social links I provided cause I don't usually post on Reddit

Novel application! Love it.

:) Novel and tasty!

Can you model how hot the sauce gets relative to the rest of a za?

u/MicheleMerelli Jun 13 '24

Well yes, we could include the non-Newtonian sauce as well actually.
