vamseeachanta Orcawave Aqwa Benchmark
When to Use
- Validating OrcaWave results against AQWA benchmarks
- Comparing RAO amplitudes and phases between tools
- Verifying added mass and damping matrices
- Running automated benchmark test suites
- Generating comparison reports for quality assurance
- Establishing confidence in diffraction analysis results
- Identifying discrepancies between panel method implementations
Python API
Basic Comparison
from digitalmodel.diffraction.comparison_framework import (
DiffractionComparator,
PeakRAOComparator
)
from digitalmodel.diffraction.aqwa_converter import AQWAConverter
from digitalmodel.diffraction.orcawave_converter import OrcaWaveConverter
# Load AQWA results
aqwa_converter = AQWAConverter()
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Peak-Focused Validation
```python
from digitalmodel.diffraction.comparison_framework import PeakRAOComparator
# Peak-focused comparison (recommended for validation)
peak_comparator = PeakRAOComparator(
aqwa_results=aqwa_results,
orcawave_results=orcawave_results,
peak_threshold=0.10, # 10% of peak magnitude
tolerance=0.05 # 5% tolerance
)
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Matrix Comparison
```python
from digitalmodel.diffraction.comparison_framework import MatrixComparator
# Compare added mass matrices
matrix_comp = MatrixComparator()
# Compare at specific frequency
freq = 0.1 # rad/s
am_comparison = matrix_comp.compare_added_mass(
aqwa_matrix=aqwa_results['added_mass'][freq],
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Statistical Analysis
```python
from digitalmodel.diffraction.comparison_framework import StatisticalAnalyzer
# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = StatisticalAnalyzer()
# Compute correlation metrics
correlation = analyzer.compute_correlation(
aqwa_raos=aqwa_results['raos'],
orcawave_raos=orcawave_results['raos']
*See sub-skills for full details.*
