ORNL: Science & Technology: Simulation Science: Experimental Validation

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY

Experimental Validation

Validation of many simulation models involves experimental testing on a physical model. For biological systems, much of this testing is done at ORNL Mouse House.

Design of Experiments and Data Analysis

Recognizing the critical link between data and supercomputing simulations, ORNL is a key player in gathering and providing the best possible data and analysis in a number of fields.

Developing Validated Models for Crashworthiness Simulations (SC98 exhibit)
Understanding Global Change: Data Gathering, Simulation, and Analysis (SC99 exhibit)
Virtual Human Initiative (SC99 exhibit)
CSM Statistics and Data Sciences Group
CSM Human Systems Research group
