DAVE is a general framework which can be used for many purposes. In this section we list tests that confirm that DAVE delivers the outcome that is to be expected based on either an analytical solution, common sense or other software.
These documents are produced using the PDF export option of jupyter lab. The source notebooks can be found in the public repository, so you can download and run them yourself if you want.

We need more of these tests. If you have or know of any reference that can be used to verify DAVE and are able to share those publicly then please contact me at dave@open-ocean.org or create a pull request at at https://github.com/RubendeBruin/DAVE-notebooks.
