A B C of Statistics for Verification and Validation (V & V) of Simulations of High-Consequence Engineering Systems

October 1, 2005

Author(s)

Jeffrey T. Fong

We begin this expository essay by reviewing with examples what a typical engineer already knows about statistics. We then consider a central question in engineering decision making, i.e., given a computer simulation of high-consequence systems, how do we

Applied Mechanics and Multi-Physics Simulations of High-Consequence Engineering Systems

Instability of steady circular Couette flow with radial heating across a vertically oriented annulus with inner cylinder rotating and outer cylinder stationary is investigated using linear stability analysis. The convection regime base flow is developed
