Phoe interview was setup. The person speaking was friendly. He explained the answers the if I admitted that I didn't know the answer. I'm writing this part to just fill up the 30-word limit.

I applied online at the end of December and got replied quickly within several days to select a time for the phone interview. The interview took around half an hour with the form unrelated to your own research. Instead, it covers questions such as numerical methods, a 1-D fluid problem to describe governing equations and how to simplify terms, compressible flow, probability, etc., which recalled me of my PhD prelim-exam. My performance was not bad in my mind. However, the result after about 10 days made me disappointed.

I applied via email after seeing a posting on the cfdonline jobs database. I was scheduled for a telephonic interview a month later. The telephonic interview was mostly technical, with basic theoretical questions about CFD, numerical modeling procedures and algorithmic differences.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1) What is numerical viscosity and what are its sources ?
2) Difference between pressure based and density based solvers
3) Question about stability of implicit and explicit schemes and why explicit schemes are more popular
4) Question about a hypothetical 2-d flow scenario and what the velocity profile might look like
5) Question about probabilty
