Numerical Errors in CFD and DEM Modeling

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: RILEM State-of-the-Art Reports ((RILEM State Art Reports,volume 15))

Abstract

Numerical error present in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is given in Chapters 4.1. to 4.6. In the last chapter of this document, Chapter 4.7, a special attention is given to the error present for the Discrete Element Method (DEM). However, it should be clear that much of the topic present in Chapters 4.1 to 4.6 applies also for DEM, and other numerical flow techniques not mentioned here.
