A posteriori analysis of iterative algorithms for Navier–Stokes problem
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Volume 50 (2016) no. 4, pp. 1035-1055.

This work deals with a posteriori error estimates for the Navier–Stokes equations. We propose a finite element discretization relying on the Galerkin method and we solve the discrete problem using an iterative method. Two sources of error appear, the discretization error and the linearization error. Balancing these two errors is very important to avoid performing an excessive number of iterations. Several numerical tests are provided to evaluate the efficiency of our indicators.
