Professional Short Courses

Verification and Validation in Computational Simulation: This is a two day professional short course sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. This course is co-instructed by Dr. William Oberkampf, an AIAA Fellow and Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Course Description: Verification and validation are a set of procedures designed to build confidence in computational simulation by establishing the numerical accuracy of a simulation (verification) and the physical accuracy of the models employed (validation). Here computational simulation is defined as any application which involves the numerical solution to partial differential equations such as computational fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, structural mechanics, thermal analysis, etc. The course materials consist of approximately 300 PowerPoint slides developed by the instructors.
