Validation or benchmarking is the comparison of a model (usually embodied in software) with experiment, either to demonstrate some improvement in the model or to justify the use of the model for design purposes. Uncertainties in not only the experiment but also arising from the implementation of the model influence the interpretation of the comparison. Sources of such uncertainties are systematically categorized with particular reference to fluid transient analysis, and illustrated by two contrasting case studies: one a laboratory test for an unsteady friction extension to the elastic column water hammer equations and the other a field test justification of a rigid column model for a low head water turbine installation. © BHR Group 2008.
