  • 1Benchmarks from literature (exact solution)
    Simple benchmarks for which an exact analytical result is available from literature.
  • Group 2Benchmarks from literature (approximate solution)
    More complex benchmarks described in literature for which an approximate solution is known.
  • Group 3Benchmarks from spreadsheets
    Benchmarks which test program features using Excel spreadsheets.
  • Group 4Benchmarks generated by the program itself
    Benchmarks for which the reference results are generated using D-FLOW SLIDE.
  • Group 5Benchmarks compared with other programs
    Benchmarks for which the results of D-FLOW SLIDE are compared with the results of other programs.

As much as software developers would wish they could, it is impossible to prove the correctness of any non-trivial program. Re-calculating all the benchmarks and making sure the results are as they should be will prove to some degree that the program works as it should. Nevertheless there will always be combinations of input values that will cause the program to crash or produce wrong results. Hopefully by using the verification procedure the number of times this occurs will be limited.
The benchmarks will all be described to such detail that reproduction is possible at any time. In some cases, when the geometry is too complex to describe, the input file of the benchmark is needed. The results are presented in text format with each benchmark description.
The input files belonging to the benchmarks can be downloaded from those pages.

Overview of the benchmarks

Legend:
(tick) = Results of D-Flow Slide and results of the Benchmark are identical.
(error) = Results of D-Flow Slide and results of the Benchmark differ.
