Interview
I applied online at the end of December and got replied quickly within several days to select a time for the phone interview. The interview took around half an hour with the form unrelated to your own research. Instead, it covers questions such as numerical methods, a 1-D fluid problem to describe governing equations and how to simplify terms, compressible flow, probability, etc., which recalled me of my PhD prelim-exam.
