About this paper

Yuxuan Chen, Xu Zhu, Hua Zhou, Zhuyin Ren

MetaOpenFOAM 2.0, developed at Tsinghua University, automates the full Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation and post-processing workflow using a GPT-4o driven multi-agent system, achieving an 86.9% pass rate and average executability of 6.3/7, representing a substantial improvement over previous LLM-driven CFD tools.

Key insights

  • The integration of two-stage Question Decomposition COT (QDCOT) and multi-level Iterative Verification and Refinement (ICOT) is crucial for managing the complexity and achieving high success rates in full CFD workflows.
  • A positive correlation exists between the number of COT steps (decomposition and iterative refinement) and both system executability and token consumption, aligning with 'post-trained scaling laws' for LLMs.
  • An LLM-assisted verification module significantly enhances the physical and numerical accuracy of results by identifying and rectifying errors, demonstrating the value of deep verification within scientific pipelines.
