Title: Direct Numerical Simulation DNS: Maximum Error as a Function of Mode Number

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/793962· OSTI ID:793962

Numerical errors can be characterized in terms of algebraic polynomial approximation of a sine wave. The magnitude of the error will, therefore, depend on the energy at each mode in a Fourier expansion. Flows with a great deal of energy in the highest modes, such as Turbulence, are therefore the most difficult to approximate.
