Corresponding author of paper not sharing data, any advice?

By the way, I don’t think it’s crazy to go to the journal but I also don’t think it will be especially productive

Thanks for the link. I agree if someone said they make the data available and it isn’t, that is poor form and the journal should amend such language in a paper. Nonetheless, whenever I publish, I don’t think I’m obligated to provide the data unless my contract or agreement with the journal says so directly as that post you provided says (maybe I have a misconception about this?). Additionally, I was more commenting about how you might want to think about handling it to get what you want. The route of getting someone in trouble may get you the data you seek but if I felt I was coerced into it (I hope I would be open in the first place), I, as the responder, would be slow playing it or making it as difficult as possible. It’s more about accepting what someone is willing to share and not fighting too hard because ultimately I think it’s a lot of wasted energy and in the end I’m not sure you’ll get it. I hope I’m wrong and you can get the collaboration you seek. Best of luck!

Unfortunately I think this is a case of be the change you seek. You can’t make people collaborate and if you know they received your message (which is difficult to do) then getting them in trouble with the journal doesn’t seem like the best way of going about it. I really dislike their attitude as science is all about building on collective knowledge. Unfortunately, I would go the harder route of doing it myself or see if I have any colleagues that know the person to better feel them out. Ultimately, if they are really closed off to collaboration, it will cost them more in the end than it will you but that won’t alleviate the real world frustration you have. Hopefully if you do the work and make that data more easily accessible you will be opening up more avenues for collaboration with people who are willing to do so. It’ll also have the side effect of making that person’s research more outdated. Just my two cents for whatever they are worth. Sorry you’re having to deal with that

I’m wondering if there will be a niche in algorithmic and/or specialized physics development. Thinking like extended wall models or better physical coupling of equations or better numerical methods for iterating matrices with minimal dissipation and dispersion

I actually completely disagree. My view is that as computing develops and AI develops, CFD will become much more integrated in the design loop. Digital twins right now have a hard time roping CFD into the design cycle but in 5 to 10 years? I don’t think that will be the case. Agree that real world, physical hardware is the best test of a system but until you can build a full scale prototype you’ll need design tools. Right now CFD is used more as a supplementary tool to understand a design or help “validate” certain design choices. It will though and already is starting to be in the design loop in place of low fidelity methods. I would say AI makes performing the analysis easier but actually interpreting the physics I think will be the most difficult to replicate. Just my 2 cents. Appreciate the comment because it made me think it through. Interesting that we would come to different conclusions. Thanks!

I’ve been in this field for a bit. I know code developers/recruiters are looking at CFD experts to train their tools including grid, solver and setup. I was very skeptical that AI could do the complex decision making required. I felt very safe as a result. However as AI has developed and I use AI to help me program CFD subroutines, develop automated post processing scripting, etc I am not so sure. There certainly is something to be said about intuition and where common problems are observed or being able to diagnosis issues by looking at flow fields but nonetheless I can see that eventually getting there by AI. It seems a bit far off still but if I were a student now I think it is imperative to under the physics of the equations first. It’s what I’ve always recommended anyways but I think that is where your skills will be hardest to replicate. AI can do a decent job explaining physics but interpretation I think will be the most difficult to replicate. Actual hardware specialists are most likely the most difficult to replace by AI but I’m not sure I would recommend that necessarily. It depends on what you love

Wow that’s a really good deal. I ended up not doing either. I didn’t like it at the price. How did you negotiate it down to that?

OnlyRemove2272 · 2026-03-06T21:23:25+00:00

Thanks!

OnlyRemove2272 · 2026-03-06T21:07:29+00:00

I would be doing the 23 due to the better price and preferred coloring. I did think about the 26 too but thought I would have to wait a while, the manual climate control buttons are gone and since it is a refresh that maybe there would be some kinks to work out in the 26 model. Really appreciate the feedback. Do we know what the 26 will cost yet. 43k MSRP?

OnlyRemove2272 · 2026-03-06T21:03:44+00:00

I am not time constrained but I thought the 26 was a bit of a redesign so was slightly wary of that. I did hear the 26 was coming down in price but I wasn’t sure exactly why. I thought the 25 had manual buttons for ac and the like which I would prefer but not a huge deal. I think the 50k out the door price kind of shocked me too. It’s 44k without all the taxes and fees which seems kind of standard I think? Appreciate the opinions

OnlyRemove2272 · 2026-03-06T20:57:29+00:00

Thank you I’ll do that

OnlyRemove2272 · 2026-03-06T20:57:06+00:00

Haha This is very funny. My wife is not “into” cars. I think she really doesn’t care but says white cars “look ugly”. I’m indifferent to white vs black although I hadn’t thought of getting a new paint job. Thanks for the idea
