Table 2.

Input parameter uncertainty analysis. Results of the average input parameter uncertainty (u¯input) analysis. Xi represents the corresponding input parameters to the CFD simulations, with uXi representing their systematic uncertainties obtained from the experiments. The nominal values of the parameters were taken from Table 1. The scaled sensitivity coefficients (X^i(S/Xi)) calculated for each input parameter is also shows, which was fed into Eq. (16) to calculate uinput.
