Abstract

A number of tests have been performed, under controlled conditions, with the SWIFT model in order to complete its quality-assurance records. Some of these tests verify the numerical algorithms employed by the code implementation through comparison with analytical data. Other tests validate the processes addressed by the model through comparison with field data. These tests show good agreement between SWIFT and the reference data. In this paper several of the tests are highlighted.
