What we solve and what it is checked against

The table procurement asks for when prequalifying. Physics solved, how it is discretised and the reference it is validated against, line by line.

The exact solver version and the assigned team are declared in each project proposal, together with the validation plan.

Demonstration figures and fields: they show the format of a delivery, not an executed project. They are replaced by real cases with their validation before publishing.
