Quantitative V & V of CFD Solutions and Certification of CFD Codes

Concepts, definitions, equations and procedures are provided for quantitative assessment of numerical (verification) and modeling (validation) errors and uncertainties for CFD simulations and of intervals of certification for CFD codes at 95% level of confidence. Examples are provided for ship hydrodynamics. Comparisons are made with alternative approaches.
