Evaluating Symmetry in 3-dimensional Simulation Data

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1808818· OSTI ID:1808818
The increasing use of three-dimensional simulations has led to an increased need for effective verification and validation, or V&V. Unfortunately, the high computational cost associated with three-dimensional simulations makes many standard V&V techniques cost-prohibitive. Given these circumstances, we must pay close attention to V&V metrics that can be evaluated using only a single simulation. One of the simplest of these metrics is the evaluation of physical symmetries. This report details a method of computing the deviation from symmetry in a three-dimensional dataset with an arbitrarily distributed mesh. Examples are presented for spherical and axisymmetric systems using the Paraview post-processing analysis workflow.
