Error estimation in Fluent
 
Hello, I need to know how you estimate the solution error in simulation using Fluent or have an idea about it. Regards, Chouki

Re: Error estimation in Fluent
 
There is no simple method as there are so many potential sources of error. Amongst other things you need to:

Do a grid independance study.
Do a timestep independance study.
Test sensitivity of solution results to inputs e.g. viscosity.
Validate your results against experimental data.
