A PU localization for space-time goal oriented adaptive refinement for incompressible flow problems


In this talk, we will present a space-time extension of the variational partition of unity (PU) approach [3] for localization of dual weighted residual (DWR) type error estimators [2]. This allows for estimation and control of both spatial and temporal errors w.r.t. a given quantity of interest. For CFD, typical quantities are drag and lift coefficients. The focus will be on application of the novel PU localization [4] to the global DWR estimator for adaptive refinement. Finally, we will discuss some numerical results based on the tensor-product space-time code introduced in [1] that substantiate our developments.
