title = "Software quality assurance and V \& V procedure during the development stages of EDF CFD tool code saturne: Focus on verification tests",
abstract = "The present paper gives the state of the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) practices and the unitary Verification and Validation (V\&V) procedures of the free Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software Code Saturne. The strict definitions of verification and validation are detailed. The autovnv framework embedded in Code Saturne and dedicated to automate the V\&V procedure is presented. A focus on the verification methodology is presented and particularly the computation of the time and space discretization errors. At the end, three verification test cases from Code Saturne 4.0 autovnv are detailed.",
