Verification and Validation

Verification and validation of Cardinal is essential to justify relevance of this application to end-use applications in energy. Below, we collect a summary of the Verification and Validation (V&V) cases included in Cardinal; each includes a brief documentation describing the test case, the input files, and V&V results. Cardinal and its dependencies have a very rich history of V&V, and the cases shown on this page only represent those test cases which are included in Cardinal's V&V suite and which have been documented here; extending this page is actively funded through the Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program.
