Verification & Validation — Lesson 8

Verification Checklist

After getting a numerical solution, we will verify the results as shown in the following video.

Check Boundary Conditions

As first step of verification we will verify the behavior of the flow at the boundary as shown in the following video.

Check Mass and Energy Conservation

We can verify mass and energy conservation in Ansys Fluent. The following video shows how to do this.

Check Energy Conservation via Mixed Mean Temperature Variation (Optional)

The following video shows how to verify energy conservation by mixed mean temperature variation at the axial location.

Check Numerical Error

With numerical solution, some numerical errors are introduced. The following video shows how to check the level of numerical errors.

Validation Results

After verification, the following video shows how to validate the model used against the actual physical problem.
