Comparison of CFD Calculations with Experiments
Discuss how well the CFD calculations of the assessment quantities
compare with experiment and with one another. Present some key
comparisons in the form of tables or graphical plots and, where
possible, provide hyperlinks to the appropriate results database.
Results with different turbulence models covering as wide a range as
possible should be included in the discussion. However, if too many
different calculation results are available (e.g. from workshops) do
not present all the comparisons here. A selection should be made
showing results only for the most typical and practically important
models. Comprehensive comparisons can be made available via a link to
the associated databases. Finally, draw conclusions on the ability of
the models used to simulate the test case flow.
