error analysis and consistent splitting method

Hi everybody!!
I am trying to solve Navier-Stokes equations with incompressible and laminar flow. The scheme I have chosen is a consistent splitting method in order to decoupled velocity and pressure. The temporal scheme is a semi-implicit one; Diffusion matrix is treated implicity and Convection matrix and pressure are treated explicity. As space discretization I am using finite element method. As a benchmark I use Kim and Moin problem. And I am calculating the error as the time step decreases in both variables, velocity and pressure. I calculate the velocity error with Lmax(T=[0,1],L2(space)) and the pressure error with L2(T=[0,1],L2(space)) The weird thing is that I obtain the following errors as the time step value decreases: incrT=0.03125; error_vel=0.00247964; error_pre=0.00176696 incrT=0.015625; error_vel=0.00262931; error_pre=0.00187242 incrT=0.0078125; error_vel=0.00290054; error_pre=0.00196216 In all cases, the solution I obtain is really similar to the exact solution, but, as you can see, the error is bigger as the time_step_value decreases, something absolutely wrong. I have checked the code several times and I cannot see the problem, could you give me any advice? Thanks in advance. Isi |
