(2) The dataset is specifically chosen to be challenging for k-omega SST; models that score well here may still need separate validation for industrial-scale geometries. (3) DNS/LES references have finite statistical and numerical accuracy; the current score does not weight cases by reference uncertainty. (4) Some baseline-RANS quantities have known artifacts at body surfaces (e.g. Faith Hill PSP probe failures inside reverse-flow regions) and are excluded via NaN-aware scoring.", "rai:dataSocialImpact": "Provides a community-standardised benchmark for evaluating machine-learning-based turbulence closures, enabling reproducible comparison across modeling approaches.

It is therefore biased toward research-grade flow configurations rather than industrial-scale geometries, and toward incompressible to low-Mach steady-state regimes rather than transonic, hypersonic, or strongly unsteady flows. The cases are also intentionally chosen to be challenging for the k-omega SST baseline, which biases the difficulty distribution toward separated and adverse-pressure-gradient flows. No human-subject, demographic, or socioeconomic bias is present because the dataset contains only fluid-mechanics measurements.", "rai:personalSensitiveInformation": "None.

The high-fidelity references include both physics-based numerical simulations (DNS and LES, which are algorithm-generated and therefore synthetic in the RAI sense) and real-world laboratory measurements (PIV, LDA, PSP, FISF, hot-wire, surface pressure taps). The k-omega SST baseline predictions are simulation outputs.
