PhyNiKCE introduces a neurosymbolic agentic framework to overcome LLM limitations in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. It decouples neural planning from symbolic validation using a Constraint Satisfaction Problem approach to enforce physical laws. Validated on OpenFOAM tasks, it achieves 96% improvement over baselines while cutting self-correction loops by 59% and token use by 17%.
