Abstract

Validation of a numerical simulation based on mathematical model is part of its development and in practice this validation is based on the comparison with experiments. However, the uncertainty of experiment and numerical simulation has not yet received any attention. Generally, only a qualitative assessment of the numerical simulation is provided. Knowledge of the uncertainty is required in order to compare the results since it allows users of the result to assess its reliability. This paper emphasizes numerical simulation components uncertainties. A procedure is adopted to validation of numerical simulation considering the uncertainties and an illustrative calculation will be discussed.
