A posteriori error analysis in finite elements: The element residual method for symmetrizable problems with applications to compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations (Q804382)

In this paper, we propose a generalization of the element residual method (ERM) to symmetrizable problems which includes such problems of interest as the time-step-dependent boundary value problems resulting from the time discretization of the Euler or Navier-Stokes equations. The natural norm is then identified as the linearized entropy corresponding to a particular solution vector (steady state solution for steady state problems).
