Abstract
Verification of solutions is crucial for establishing the reliability of simulations. A central challenge is to find an accurate and reliable estimate of the discretization error. Current approaches to this estimation rely on the observed order of accuracy; however, studies have shown that it may alter irregularly or become undefined. Therefore, we propose a grid refinement method which adopts constant orders given by the user, called the Preset Orders Expansion Method (POEM). The user is guaranteed to obtain the optimal set of orders through iterations and hence an accurate estimate of the discretization error. This method evaluates the reliability of the estimation by assessing the convergence of the expansion terms, which is fundamental for all grid refinement methods. We demonstrate these capabilities using advection and diffusion problems along different refinement paths. POEM…
