Topics of discussion will include:
- appropriate measures by which to judge the fidelity of industrial & environmental CFD;
- quantification of uncertainty for CFD applications across a range of sectors;
- challenges that arise in quantifying uncertainty, and solutions.
Methodologies to obtain reliable and consistent results from CFD are of prime importance in reducing uncertainty. Best practice guidelines can play a key role. The seminar will therefore also discuss best practice across a number of application areas, highlighting findings which have wider relevance and impact.
This will be the third joint meeting on this theme co-organised by NAFEMS and ERCOFTAC. It follows successful meetings in March 2004 and September 2005.
