Summary

With support from the Norwegian Research Council, the simulation and analysis software tool AquaSim has been developed over a 20-year period. The report outlines several benchmarking tests to verify the accuracy and capabilities of the software tool.

Revision 2: all verification tests have been re-run to validate the 2.10- and 2.11-release of the AquaSim solver.

Revision 3: all verification testes have been re-run to validate the 2.12-beta version and 2.12-release version of the AquaSim solver.

Revision 4: all verification tests have been re-run to validate the 2.14- beta and -release version of the AquaSim solver.

Revision 5: all verification tests have been re-run to validate the 2.14_191213-beta version (dated 16.12.2019) solver, and then the 2.14_200110-beta version (dated 10.08.2020). The latter is the 2.15-beta candidate for release of 2.15.

Revision 6: all verification tests have been re-run to validate the 2.16-beta candidate for release of the AquaSim solver. The results are all identical to the 2.15-release version of the solver. Minor changes to the report are done.

Revision 7: all verification tests have been re-run to validate the solver 2.16.2-beta (dated 27.08.2021). Visual changes in the report, and text modifications are done. Density of air is changed from 1.21kg/m3 to 1.27kg/m3, this affects results in chapter 8. New analytic results are calculated and AquaSim results compared. This report is also regarded as valid for solver 2.16.2 (dated 13.09.2021). Justification is found in chapter 2.

Revision 8: all verification tests are re-run to validate release-candidate 2.17.0 (dated 06.01.2022) of the AquaSim solver.

Revision 9: all verification tests are re-run to validate release-candidate 2.17.2 (dated 27.05.2022) of the AquaSim solver.

Revision 10: all verification tests are re-run to validate release solver 2.18.0 if the AquaSim solver.

Revision 11: all verification tests are re-run to validate release solver 2.18.1 if the AquaSim solver
