}An important element in the development of a CFD design or analysis tool involves the validation and / or calibration of the methodology using experimental and /or other computational data. The various types of validation processes include, full configuration studies, major component studies and when possible, fundamental flow physics studies. Fundamental flow physics type of experimental studies, have commanded less interest and consequently less funding in recent years. Consequently, locating…
