Verification and validation can be thought as a formal process for checking results. We'll first check that the net heat flow to the domain is zero. Then we'll look into mesh refinement and comparison with the analytical solution.

We have written a MATLAB script that reads in the ANSYS results for heat flux along the bottom and right edges and does the necessary integration to calculate the total heat flow. Download the MATLAB script by right-clicking the link: post.m

We will look at the results for the dimensionless temperature along the line y=1. The plot below contains, the analytical solution, and the ANSYS solution for three different meshes.
