Mesh Adaptation for k-Exact CFD Approximations

  • First Online:
Numerical Methods for Flows

Abstract

This paper illustrates the application of error estimates based on k-exactness of approximation schemes for building mesh adaptive approaches able to produce better numerical convergence to continuous solution. The cases of k = 1 and k = 2, i.e. second-order and third-order accurate approximations with steady and unsteady flows are considered.
