Tests

Status from the gtest XML of the last run. A DISABLED_ test fails against the current laws; its numbers are in the tables below, and it stays disabled until the owner decides the issue.

No data yet

No trawl measurements yet. tests/data/trawl_*.csv does not exist, so NetValidation_Trawl_VALIDATION.S7_TrawlMeasurements skips ("awaiting trawl measurements"; plan Decisions 1). Until the data arrive the trawl path is covered by the towed panel (Validation: towed panel through the SimObject (S1)), the duality test S4 (Validation: Lader 2009 cages (S3, S4)) and the marenv grazing-wall wake test W11. Adding a tests/data/trawl_*.csv file with a provenance header enables S7 with no design change; this page then lists its provenance and the comparison.

The smoke run below exercises the S7 harness on the example trawl cone with the wake off and on; it is reported, not a validation.

NetValidation Trawl smoke report

tests/out/NetValidation_Trawl_smoke_report.txt, as the test wrote it.

NetValidation Trawl report (plan S7; MARE-0101). No trawl measurements yet (tests/data/trawl_*.csv absent): smoke run of the harness on WP-E3's trawl cone, HydroModel TwineCrossFlow (MARE-0111).

Conventions: error = model/measured - 1 (in %) for loads and coefficients, model - measured for ratios and localCd; ratio = measured/model; margin = tolerance - |error| (negative = fails).

Wake log lines, wake on:

Cone: wake rebuild 1 at t = 10.0006 s (Grid 480x48x48, cutoff 0.001): 84 of 84 panels cast a wake, mean relative flow 1.49799 m/s, source velocity (1.49799, -2.55106e-13, 6.52836e-14) m/s, 71.8517 ms; lumped source M = 1.25983 m^2, area 7.11352 m^2, rear centre (7.26032, -7.46097e-12, 10) m. Cable drag along the mean relative flow 260.976 N, panel drag 1448.87 N: cables and floats are 15.2632 % of the net's drag and are not in the lumped source (QF9).
Cone: wake frozen at t = 15.0008 s after 2 rebuilds: max(max|dR|, |dM|/M) = 0.00980412 < WakeTolerance 0.01.
Cone: wake rebuild 2 at t = 15.0008 s (Grid 480x48x48, cutoff 0.001): 84 of 84 panels cast a wake, mean relative flow 1.52689 m/s, source velocity (1.52689, -3.59926e-14, 1.39976e-14) m/s, max|dR| = 0.000904625, |dM|/M = 0.00980412, 72.0064 ms; lumped source M = 1.27231 m^2, area 7.16633 m^2, rear centre (14.904, -8.63658e-12, 10) m.

Wall time: wake off 6.0 s, wake on 6.3 s.
