Box 217, 7500 AEEnschede, The Netherlands, +31-(0)53-4894346, r.loendersloot@ctw.utwente.nlVerification of numerical methods is considered to be a vital part of applied sciences. Behinda façade of solution algorithms, clever function operators and other numerical tricks, oftenresulting in the colourful images, emerges the workshop reality; a different battle is fought here.Little trouble would be encountered if only it were the numerical results to be proven right.This, unfortunately, is nearly never the case. Many hours are spent on how to measure whatwe want to measure, how to know that what we measure is indeed what we think we measureand how to deal with output generated by our - beforehand considered as - cleverly positionedsensors. An example of this process will be presented, based on permeability measurementcarried out at the KU Leuven and at the University of Twente. In addition, the methodologyis addressed to treat the experimental data such that comparison with numerical models ispossible.Figure 1: Resin Transfer Moulding set up of KU Leuven, used for permeability experiments.
