Abstract: Transient convection has been investigated experimentally for the purpose of providing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation benchmark data. A specialized facility for validation benchmark experiments called the ...

Abstract: Natural convection is a phenomenon in which fluid flow surrounding a body is induced by a change in density due to the temperature difference between the body and fluid. After removal from the pressurized water reactor ...

Abstract: This paper documents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation benchmark experiment for flow through three parallel, heated channels from one plenum to another. The test section was installed into a facility designed ...

Abstract: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation dataset for turbulent forced convection on a vertical plate is presented. The design of the apparatus is based on recent validation literature and provides a means to ...

Abstract: Model validation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), where experimental data and model outputs are compared, is a key tool for assessing model uncertainty. In this work, mixed convection was studied experimentally for ...

Abstract: Chauvenet's criterion is commonly used for rejection of outliers from sample datasets in engineering and physical science research. Measurement and uncertainty textbooks provide conflicting information on how the criterion ...
