In Utah, Barney is recognized as winning the first Alta Snow Cup race with Gretchen Fraser in 1940 and also winning the first Alta Cup race with Virginia Gurnsey in 1942. He ski jumped many times on famed Ecker Hill and was good enough to make the 1948 Olympic ski jumping team,but chose instead to compete as captain of the U.S. alpine squad. McLean was a close personal friend of Alf Engen and was inducted into the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame, with Alf, in 1959.

  • 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.
