Summary

Verification checks that the program solves the model equations correctly; validation checks the results against fire experiments. Based on Cox and Kumar (2002), p. 3-203, and Najafi et al. (2007), p. 1-2.

Original illustration for Verification and validation, level 4 Expert.

Source basis: Cox and Kumar (2002), p. 3-203 (AIAA definitions; turbulence, combustion and radiation submodels validated, accuracy of solution is verification); Najafi et al. (2007), p. 1-2 ("built correctly" versus "right model built")
Alt text: Flowchart: real fire, model equations and computer program; verification links program and equations, validation links results and experiments.
