6. Conclusion and outlook
In this contribution, it has been shown, that the dual weighted residual method can be used for time error estimation and time mesh control for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations discretized with the fractional step theta method. As this time-stepping scheme is based on a difference approximation, for error estimation a Galerkin scheme similar to it is considered and the error estimator is split into a quadrature error and a Galerkin defect. It remains to combine this technique with spatial mesh adaptivity using dynamic as discussed in [12]. Where the high effort of dynamic mesh control is not adequate, spatial mesh adaptivity can be based on averaged error quantities are discussed by Braack et al. [13].
