Abstract:	Creating qualitative Multiphysics models of technical and natural processes is a demanding yet fascinating task. It requires careful observation, thorough analysis and the ability to break up complex phenomena into simpler sub-problems. However as scientists work ever more closely together with industry, one basic truth becomes clearer and clearer: Qualitative modelling is often just the very first step on a ‘long, hard journey’ from grasping the mere physical principles of any technological problem towards creating a fully validated, comprehensive simulation approach. One that can not just replicate, but reliably predict, one that can actually be applied in ‘real-life’, one that stands up to the task of seamless integration into cost- and time- driven, competitive industrial development efforts. This Keynote-talk will focus on one representative example of such a ‘long, hard journey’. It will focus on ‘Modelling, simulating and predicting particle cloud behaviour in the context of complex, industrial surface treatment applications’. This concrete case shall demonstrate just how time-intensive and demanding the path from creating a Multiphysics simulation model that ‘just looks about right’, towards ‘full validation’ and ‘actual industrial applicability’ can really be. The talk will span a journey form first qualitative simulation models, via thorough step-by-step validation, towards the creation of a novel, cloud-powered simulation software, capable of computing 100s of simultaneous process scenarios and ready for industrial application. We will cover a span of seven years of development-effort and approximately 16’000 manhours of work invested. Thus the talk will hopefully show that for us Multiphysics enthusiasts and experts, persistence, obsessive love for detail, accuracy and diligence are just as important as creativity and knowledge. And finally there is one essential realisation: we can never ‘know’ the actual truth, all we can ever do is ‘to model it’.
