Abstract
Disclosed is a method for evaluating computational fluid dynamic simulation results. The method includes: performing at least two baseline runs of a simulated area or volume containing a first vehicle body shape using a set of initial conditions, performing a change run using a second vehicle body using the set of initial conditions, creating a noise map based on differences between the second baseline run and the first baseline run, creating a change map based on differences between the change run and a selected baseline run, and comparing the change map to the noise map.
