What problem does it solve? Fluid dynamics notebooks, tests, and scripts need trustworthy numbers, but it is easy to fabricate benchmark values, cite sources from memory, or embed unverifiable data. This Skill enforces a strict sourcing hierarchy so every reference value is reproducible, cited, and accessible both locally and on Google Colab. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-tier data policy: analytic/synthetic generation first, then cited published benchmarks, then free online datasets, then manual downloads staged in Google Drive. - Citation and provenance rules: benchmark tables live in reference/chNN/ with a SOURCES.md recording DOI, retrieval method, and verification date; scalar constants like Blasius f''(0) carry citations in docstrings. - Colab-aware loading: a single loader resolves reference files, cached downloads, manual data folders, and Drive mounts with clear error instructions. - Use Case: When writing a lid-driven cavity validation test, generate the Ghia et al. (1982) centreline profile as a cited CSV in reference/ch10/ rather than typing numbers from memory, and record the source in SOURCES.md. ## Quick Start Apply the data-and-benchmarks policy to decide where the reference values for my chapter 10 cavity-flow test should come from and how to cite them.
