The excel program developed by Vivid Numerics Inc. is available for download here:
AES method.xls
The method requires that the user enter the volume of the simulation domain at each grid level (Should be the same), the number of cells at each grid, the number of spatial dimensions (usually 2 or 3) and finally the flow or stress parameter that the user is interested in. This may be velocity, pressure, von Mises stress, a principal stress, a displacement, etc. The program then provides an estimate of the error for each grid result and an estimated true value. As with any program this one should be used with care and not followed blindly. Problems in the mesh (sliver cells, inverted cells) or in the setup may produce spurious results with this program.
