Verification & Validation

Verification

The first thing we check for verification is the analytical solution since we have one available. Then, we do a mesh refinement and use a smaller pseudo-time-step to check whether the results are consistent with the original calculation. By using a finer mesh and a smaller pseudo-time-step, we investigate the effects of truncation error caused by spatial discretization and temporal discretization. Then we will do a case comparison for the results obtained after spatial and temporal refinement.

Analytical Solution

The analytical solution is contained in this csv file that contains the concentration (or equivalently, the temperature) at various radial locations.
