.. highlight:: rst .. _Verification: Verification and Validation =========================== Single Droplet Tests -------------------- Single droplet tests are performed with `PeleMP` and compared with computational or experimental results published in literature. These tests are setup in ``PeleProduction/PeleMPruns/single_drop_test``. To run a test case, simply open ``Validate.py`` and set the case name from the table below :: case = TestCaseName() then do ``python Validate.py``. The following table details the parameters of each test: .. table:: +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ |Test Case Name | :math:`T_g` [K] |:math:`p_g` [bar]|:math:`T_d` [K] |:math:`d_d` [um] | :math:`\Delta u` [m/s]|Ref | | | | | | | | | +===============+=================+=================+=================+=================+=======================+=================+ |``Tonini_4_33``|1000 |1 |300 |200 |6.786 |[#ton]_ | +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ |``Abramzon`` |1500 |10 |300 |100 |15 |[#abram]_ | +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ |``Daif`` |348 |1 |294 |1334 |3.10 |[#daif]_ | +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ |``RungeHep`` |273 |1 |272 |500-570 |2.5 |[#runge]_ | |``RungeDec`` | | | | | | | |``RungeMix`` | | | | | | | +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ .. figure:: /images/ton_res.png :align: center :figwidth: 80% Droplet diameter, temperature, and n-octane mass fraction comparisons with Figure 4.33 in [#ton]_ .. figure:: /images/abram_res.png :align: center :figwidth: 80% Droplet diameter and temperature comparisons with [#abram]_ .. figure:: /images/daif_res.png :align: center :figwidth: 80% Droplet diameter and temperature comparisons with [#daif]_ ..
