cfd-reproducibility-checker

name	cfd-reproducibility-checker
description	Use when auditing CFD-AI/SciML papers for reproducibility: governing equations, nondimensional numbers, geometry, mesh, boundary conditions, solver settings, datasets, splits, baselines, hyperparameters, compute, and exact commands.

CFD Reproducibility Checker

Trigger

Use when a manuscript reports CFD simulations, CFD-generated datasets, neural surrogates, PINNs, closure models, or flow-control experiments and needs reproducibility review.

Progressive disclosure

CFD anti-patterns

• “OpenFOAM default settings” with no dictionaries.
• no mesh/time-step convergence.
• random split causing regime leakage.
• force/drag averaging window unspecified.
• nondimensionalization inconsistent.

Verification

• Missing details are flagged, not guessed.
• Highest rejection-risk omissions are prioritized.
• Every 0-1 score has a concrete required fix.
