Adaptive error control for finite element approximations of the lift and drag coefficients in viscous flow

Abstract:

We derive estimates for the error in a variational approximation of the lift and drag coefficients of a body immersed into a viscous flow governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. The variational approximation is based on computing a certain weighted average of a finite element approximation to the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Our main result is an a posteriori estimate that puts a bound on the error in the lift and drag coefficients in terms of the local mesh size, a local residua...
