2 Overview Model Validation Data Classification Validation Metrics Examples Conclusions June 28,

3 Model Validation The comparison of experimental observations with model output Observed values contain uncertainties Experimental measurement error Limited/incomplete data Model form error Parameter uncertainty Approximation/discretization error Validation Metric: quantifies the difference between physical and simulation observations Observations may be considered with or without uncertainties June 28,

4 Data Types Type 1: Experimental and model values are treated without uncertainty Type 2: Experimental values are treated as uncertain Nominal value, given by experts Standard deviation, calculated using multiple experiments Type 3: Experimental and model values are treated as uncertain Uncertainty analysis June 28,

5 Data Types Type 1 (no uncertainties) June 28,

6 Data Types Type 1 (no uncertainties) Type 2 (experimental uncertainty) June 28,

7 Data Types Type 3 (experimental and model uncertainty) June 28,
