Numerical Assessment of Error Estimators for Euler Equations

Grid convergence studies are conducted to assess four error estimators for their asymptotic behavior: explicit residual, solution reconstruction, Richardson extrapolation, and solution of the error equations. Their accuracy, reliability, and efficitivity to predict the true error are verified on the quasi-one-dimensional Euler equations solved by a second-order accurate finite volume method
