Evaluation of fluid dynamics simulation performance on the Navier-Stokes dataset configured with viscosity nu=10^-5 and resolution 64x64 under the unified protocol, measured on the test set.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Fluid Dynamics Simulation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Navier-Stokes (NS) nu=10^-5 at 64x64 unified-protocol (test) |
| Metric | Relative L2 Error (Test) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 31 of 31 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics
