Technical Behavioral
I submitted my application online in late December and heard back within a few days to schedule a phone interview. The interview itself lasted about 30 minutes and wasn't focused on my prior research. Instead, it delved into topics like numerical methods, a 1-D fluid problem where I had to explain the governing equations and simplification of terms, compressible flow, and probability. It reminded me a lot of my PhD qualifying exams. I felt I did alright, but the outcome about 10 days later was disappointing.

Technical Behavioral
I sent in my application via email after seeing the job posting on the cfdonline jobs database. About a month later, I was set up for a phone interview. The interview itself was pretty technical, focusing on basic theory about CFD, numerical modeling procedures, and algorithmic differences.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Could you explain numerical viscosity and its origins?
- What distinguishes pressure-based solvers from density-based solvers?
- Regarding the stability of implicit and explicit schemes, why are explicit schemes generally preferred?

Technical Presentation Behavioral
Had a phone interview where we talked about the job and they asked some technical questions. Then, there was a second interview which involved a short presentation about my educational background and work experiences. This presentation was attended by about 12 people, and after that, there was an individual discussion about the job details.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you explain the CFL condition?
- What are some typical CFD problems?
