Abstract

An error estimation technique for adaptive finite element analysis of heat conduction problems is described. The performance of this technique is demonstrated using a two-dimensional steady-state linear benchmark problem with a known analytical solution. A transient non-linear heat conduction problem involving solidification is then solved as a typical practical application. Some preliminary investigations for error indicators in flow problems are presented. Copyright © 1991 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
