You will evaluate AI-generated answers to complex computational fluid dynamics problems and use your engineering judgment to assess whether the reasoning and results are correct. The work combines practical CFD simulation, technical review, and clear explanations that help improve AI systems.
- Solve and evaluate problems involving mesh generation, turbulence models, multiphase flow, heat transfer, and solver configuration.
- Review AI-generated engineering responses for technical accuracy, correctness, and sound engineering judgment.
- Use mesh-independence studies, turbulence-model selection, boundary-condition checks, and convergence analysis to troubleshoot simulations.
- Validate fluid-flow, heat-transfer, and multiphysics results against experimental or analytical data.
- Write clear feedback and provide written and verbal explanations that help improve AI performance.
