critical

The hasattr and getattr calls are hiding a critical issue. The CavityResult2D object returned by solver.solve() does not expose the u_field, v_field, p_field, iterations, or residual attributes. You can verify this by inspecting the PyCavityResult2D struct in crates/cfd-python/src/solver_2d/cavity.rs.

As a result:

  • The u, v, and p fields for the cfd_python solution will always be initialized as arrays of zeros.
  • iterations and residual will always be their default values (0 and 0.0).

This renders the subsequent validation comparison incorrect, as it will be comparing the external solution against zero fields.

To fix this, the PyCavityResult2D struct in the Rust code needs to be updated to include and expose these fields from the underlying Rust solver result.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Potential shape mismatch when fields are missing.

The default np.zeros((ny, nx)) uses the function parameters, but if the solver returns different dimensions, the zero arrays won't match the x_coords/y_coords arrays accessed on lines 64-65. Consider deriving the shape from the coordinate arrays:

According to PEP 8, imports should usually be at the top of the file. Please move this import statement to the top-level of the module to improve readability and conform to standard Python style. Since scipy is a required dependency for this validation script, there's no need for a local import.

The interpolation logic for the u, v, and p fields is duplicated. This can be refactored into a loop to make the code more concise and easier to maintain.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

RectBivariateSpline requires strictly ascending coordinates.

If the solver returns grid coordinates in descending order or non-monotonic order, RectBivariateSpline will raise a ValueError. Consider validating or sorting the coordinates before interpolation.

         # cfd_python_result original grid

+            print("ERROR: Grid coordinates must be strictly ascending for interpolation")
+            return None

RectBivariateSpline requires strictly ascending coordinates so validate and fix
x_old and y_old before creating spline_* (spline_u, spline_v, spline_p): check
if x_old or y_old are strictly increasing and if not, sort them (or reverse them
if they are strictly decreasing) and reorder the corresponding
cfd_python_result["u"], ["v"], ["p"] axes to match the sorted coordinate
ordering; then construct RectBivariateSpline with the corrected x_old/y_old and
proceed with spline(y_new, x_new); also catch ValueError from
RectBivariateSpline and raise a clear error if coordinates are non-monotonic
(not sortable) so the caller can handle it.
