Error Estimation And Adaptive Discretization Methods In Computational Fluid Dyna

As Computational Fluid Dynamics (cfd) Is Applied To Ever More Demanding Fluid Flow Problems, The Ability To Compute Numerical Fluid Flow Solutions To A User Specified Tolerance As Well As The Ability To Quantify The Accuracy Of An Existing Numerical Solution Are Seen As Essential Ingredients In Robust Numerical Simulation. Although The Task Of Accurate Error Estimation For The Nonlinear Equations Of Cfd Seems A Daunting Problem, Considerable Effort Has Centered On This Challenge In Recent Years With Notable Progress Being Made By The Use Of Advanced Error Estimation Techniques And Adaptive Discretization Methods. To Address This Important Topic, A Special Course Wasjointly Organized By The Nato Research And Technology Office (rto), The Von Karman Insti Tute For Fluid Dynamics, And The Nasa Ames Research Center.
