physics.fluid.gradual_expansion

Three distinct suites: educational examples on the calculator page, this legacy regression count (17/17 golden + boundary), and the CVP verification suite below. They are not the same number. Property, metamorphic, round-trip, O3, and interface statuses/checks are recorded in the CVP Manifest . SKIP (0/0) means that suite has no published vectors.

CVP verification suite

Protocol checks from the Evidence Manifest. Distinct from the legacy regression suite above. Verification revision 2026-09-26.o2-o3. Calculation version 1.0.0. CVP 1.0.0-proposed. 4/4 golden · 9/9 CVP boundary · 10/10 invalid · 1/1 property · 1/1 metamorphic · 8/8 O3 · 2/2 cross-interface · 5/5 CVP contract. digest f9f998f9c669. O2: conical diffuser vs a separate-module identity (≤2 ULP). Not sudden expansion, not minor-loss K given, and not Q=Av. ≤2 ULP vs O3 applies only to the published tabulated gradual-expansion vectors. Not sudden expansion, not minor-loss K given, and not Q=Av.

• Golden (oracle-backed) 4 / 4
• CVP boundary 9 / 9
• Invalid input 10 / 10
• Property 1 / 1
• Metamorphic 1 / 1
• O3 high-precision 8 / 8
• Cross-interface 2 / 2
• CVP contract 5 / 5
• Interfaces PASS · UI (SSR) / REST / MCP
• Interface claim ui-ssr is query-result HTML, not a live browser session. Error-path engine·REST·MCP 1/1 (status, code, calculation_version). SSR compared on URL-canonical requested calculations; empty query is idle (not an error) and JSON-typed object/array inputs are REST/MCP-only.
• Verified scope h = k (v1 − v2)² / (2g) with k = 2.6 sin(α), plus pressure, velocity, and angle solves, + O3 mpmath tabulated head.
• Assurance Engineering
• Deferred Not sudden expansion, not minor-loss K given, and not Q=Av.

• release artifacts aligned PASS
• schema output required declared PASS
• schema valid input executes PASS
• engine success output validates schema PASS
• rest success payload validates schema PASS

Production attestation GETs canonical URLs twice (public/cached view and origin), including Capability HTML, via npm run attest:production --write (published at /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json) and fails if the public Capability page advertises a different calculation_version. This is artifact consistency, not an independent immutable release log.

Assumptions

• Conical diffuser: h = k (v1 − v2)² / (2g); k = 2.6 sin(α); α wall half-angle; k and K reported, not inputs
• Require 0 < α < arcsin(1/2.6); k=1 is sudden expansion; default g=9.80665 m/s²; default ρ=1000 kg/m³; incompressible; v1 > v2
• Not sudden expansion, not minor-loss K given, not Darcy f, not orifice C_d, not Q=Av, not sudden contraction

Limitations

• Conical diffuser: h = k (v1 − v2)² / (2g); k = 2.6 sin(α); α is wall half-angle; k and K are reported, not inputs
• Require 0 < α < arcsin(1/2.6); k=1 is sudden expansion, not this page; default g=9.80665; default ρ=1000 for Δp
• Not sudden expansion, not minor-loss K given, not Darcy f, not orifice C_d, not Q=Av, not sudden contraction
