Oth- erwise you’ll enjoy only a fraction of the performance you paid so dearly for...sorta like driving a Porsche with bald tires! Basic tuning and waxing isn’t rocket science. It doesn’t take much time to learn. It can save bucks and make your day on the slopes a lot more enjoyable. Armed with some basic tools and information, you can learn to tune and wax achieving the same results that you’d expect from a shop...and enjoy yourself in the process too. Here at Tognar we don’t try to be all things to all skiers and riders...we simply stock all the tuning and waxing stuff you’ll ever need, and provide the helpful info you’ll need as well. See you on the slopes! SKIVISIONS SKI SHARP One of our most popular tools. The SkiSharp files, bevels and pol- ishes both base and side edges simultaneously...instead of one at a time like other bevel tools. It features separate adjustments so you can choose different bevel angles for each edge surface in precise 1/4 degree increments from 0° to 3°. It includes a pair of replaceable mill file inserts for basic filing or beveling needs. Optional inserts include - Carbide Skiver blade (for rapidly “roughing-in” side bevel angles), Green Stones (for new skis/firm snow), Ceramic to sharpen & polish edges.The Stone grit can be refreshed almost indefinately with the proprietary diamond file.

  • Verification and Validation in Computational Fluid Dynamics1
    SAND2002 - 0529 Unlimited Release Printed March 2002 Verification and Validation in Computational Fluid Dynamics1 William L. Oberkampf Validation and Uncertainty Estimation Department Timothy G. Trucano Optimization and Uncertainty Estimation Department Sandia National Laboratories P. O. Box 5800 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185 Abstract Verification and validation (V&V) are the primary means to assess accuracy and reliability in computational simulations. This paper presents an extensive review of the literature in V&V in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discusses methods and procedures for assessing V&V, and develops a number of extensions to existing ideas. The review of the development of V&V terminology and methodology points out the contributions from members of the operations research, statistics, and CFD communities. Fundamental issues in V&V are addressed, such as code verification versus solution verification, model validation versus solution validation, the distinction between error and uncertainty, conceptual sources of error and uncertainty, and the relationship between validation and prediction. The fundamental strategy of verification is the identification and quantification of errors in the computational model and its solution. In verification activities, the accuracy of a computational solution is primarily measured relative to two types of highly accurate solutions: analytical solutions and highly accurate numerical solutions. Methods for determining the accuracy of numerical solutions are presented and the importance of software testing during verification activities is emphasized. The fundamental strategy of 1Accepted for publication in the review journal Progress in Aerospace Sciences. 3 validation is to assess how accurately the computational results compare with the experimental data, with quantified error and uncertainty estimates for both.
