i am currently doing a mesh convergence study on nozzles. Based on my CFD results, i need to prove why coarse mesh is better then fine mesh. Pls recommend me some articles. it will be helpful for my research.
Hi Sajiv,

Indeed, especially the third paper Shakun cited should work well.
You can also simply state what 'better' means in regards to the coarser mesh and construct the argument that way. For example, I require tolerance T which is met by grid G when compare to sub-grid g, and in this way, the computational efficiency by using G instead of g is X (where ‘better’ here is taken to be computational efficiency, but it could be a number of other objective functions).
I think you should evaluate your mesh result based on some parameters such as accuracy of solutions and computational effort. you can find some good explanation in this book:
