The overall aim of the paper is to provide clear and thorough information for validation and verification of methods and codes used to analyze fluid related shape optimization problems.
This has potential to enhance the validation and reliability of our analysis through cross verification of methods used.
These efforts have merged the need of scientific verification of methods used in research, with the widespread practice of crowd-sourcing, to create a sort of collaboration-by-competition communities.
The validation or verification of methods, as defined in Table 1, is a formal requirement for the accreditation of laboratories according to the two major international standards applicable to genetic testing laboratories, ISO 15189 and ISO 17025.
This paper reports the theoretical development of the proposed method, and the verification of the method with one numerical case study by using a six-storey frame and one experimental case study by using a two-storey frame.
The verification of the method was performed in two steps.
Numerical simulations are used for verification of this method.
The calibration and verification of this method is described herein.
The derivation and numerical verification of this method are presented.
The results of the experimental verification of the method are included in this paper.
