How can I validate my time integration scheme for my dynamic linear elasticity FEM code with a manufactured solution or similar?
I am solving for a dynamic linear elasticity problem:
\begin{equation}
\dfrac{\partial^2 u}{\partial^2 t} - \nabla \cdot \sigma = f
\end{equation}
where $ u \in R^2 $ with sufficient BCs and ...

How are topology optimizations validated?
How are topology optimizations validated?
I've been confused. Doesn't this mean that each of such design (e.g. N=100) would still need to be validated empirically or is there something that allows one ...

Which 2D PDE with an exact solution can I use to test/verify my FEM-PDE code?
I have created a program to solve 2D, time-dependent PDEs with the finite element method and get reasonable looking results for the 2D acoustic wave equation. Now I would like to go further and solve ...

Verifying convergence of a stationary solution to a PDE with the Runge-Kutta method
I am numerically solving a nonlinear wave PDE using the Runge-Kutta method, and I know the solution I am looking for is constant in time, but I do not know the solution. What is a good way of ...

Method of manufactured solutions - choice of type of boundary conditions
I am attempting to use the method of manufactured solutions (MMS) for code verification for linear elasticity. However, this is more of a general question regarding the general use of MMS.
In MMS, ...

In practice, what are the most useful ways to visualize 2d fluid flow, to tell what is happening in the simulation? Esp for verification and debugging
My simulation creates a 2d grid of vectors and scalars (EDIT of velocity, depth etc), at 60 frames per second. Is it correct? It looks sort of right... but who knows?
How can I tell what's happening - ...

What would be a simple approach to validate a wave propagation code?
I have a linear elastic wave propagation code and an elastoplastic wave propagation code based on FEniCS.
For now, I keep the 2D mesh (100, 100) fineness unit square and give a source wave of $\sin(...

Verification in Eigenvalue problems
Let us start with a problem of the form
$$(\mathcal{L} + k^2) u=0$$
with a set of given boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, Periodic, Bloch-Periodic). This corresponds with finding the ...

Guidelines for choosing manufactured solutions for numerical PDE schemes
When testing a numerical method for a PDE, I know that it's often useful to compare it to a known analytical solution. If none is available, one can always 'manufacture' a solution, substitute it ...

manufactured solutions for incompressible Navier-Stokes -- how to find divergence-free velocity fields?
In the method of manufactured solutions (MMS) one postulates an exact solution, substitutes it in the equations and calculates the corresponding source term. The solution is then used for code ...
