On the stability of the dual problem for high Reynolds number flow past a circular cylinder in two dimensions

• In this paper we present a computational study of the stability of time dependent dual problems for compressible flow at high Reynolds numbers in two dimensions. The dual problem measures the sensitivity of an output functional with respect to numerical errors and is a key part of goal oriented a posteriori error estimation. Our investigation shows that the dual problem associated with the computation of the drag force for the compressible Euler/Navier-Stokes equations, which are approximated numerically using different temporal discretization and stabilization techniques, is unstable and exhibits blow-up for several Mach regimes considered in this paper.
