Scientifically and ethically, can the same validation data for the CFD model, previously published by the authors in their last research article, be included in an upcoming paper if it is deemed adequate for the new study, or should new validations be carried out?
Yes, why not? The scientific novelty value of your new publication is most likely not in the validation study itself, but in an additional investigation, where you used the once already validated model combination for.

Scientifically and ethically, reusing previously published validation data in a new CFD study is permissible under certain conditions, but it must be done transparently and appropriately:
When Reuse is Acceptable:
When New Validation is Required:
Best Practice:
- If the validation data is reused, clearly state its source and justify why new validation is unnecessary.
- If feasible, supplement with additional validation to strengthen credibility.
- If in doubt, consult the target journal’s guidelines or editors.
Yes, obviously, you can. I have utilized the strategy sometimes Validation is a small part of your paper and the scientific value of your new publication doesn't get reduced if you use this strategy with proper citation!
Also, I suggest please, you supplement with additional validation to strengthen credibility.
Please go ahead.
