Verification and validation testing for NS/THM

[lindsayad]

Reason

For confidence in our module, we want to do V&V

Design

Desired V&V test cases should be listed here

INSFV

• [ ] reproduce verification tests from here which is the finite element version of MOOSE
  • [ ] Jeffery-Hamel flow; FE version here
  • [x] RZ cone; FE version here
  • [ ] flow over sphere; I need to upload the FE version
  • [ ] vortex shedding/flow-over-circle; verify we get correct frequency (example here)
• [ ] Closed loop forced convection, XY and RZ
• [ ] Closed loop natural convection, XY and RZ
• [ ] Open loop 2 parallel channels, XY and RZ

PINSFV

• [ ] conical flow, with and without PINSFVMomentumFrictionCorrection. Do the solutions look similar?
• [x] Straight channel uniform porosity/porosity jump, XY
• [ ] As above, but RZ
• [ ] Elbow channel uniform porosity/double porosity jump, XY and RZ
• [ ] Divergent convergent loop with penalty BCs uniform porosity/porosity Jump, XY and RZ

Impact

More confidence in our module

For @albertjp7's work this summer

I think @tanoret is also planning to do something like this. Maybe a coordination would be beneficial between them.

This is the ERCOFTAC flow database that we generally use to validate CFD codes (http://cfd.mace.manchester.ac.uk/ercoftac/doku.php). Let's select some cases from this base for validation?

sounds great!
