Iterated discretization error transport equations for laminar and turbulent flows

Abstract

The focus of this work is on discretization error estimation for finite‐volume schemes using iterated forms of the linear and nonlinear error transport equations. The accuracy of the discretization error estimates is studied by applying the error estimates as corrections to the primal problem and calculating the observed order of accuracy of the corrected solution. The test cases used in this work include two‐dimensional Cross Term Sinusoidal manufactured solutions for laminar flow and turbulent flow modeled by the Spalart–Allmaras and Menter's Shear Stress Transport model and a boundary layer manufactured solution for the Spalart–Allmaras model. The discretization error estimates of the linearized error transport equations and the nonlinear error transport equations are compared. Higher‐order accurate corrected solutions have been obtained which shows that the discretization error estimates are sufficiently accurate.
