What happens when the convergence is not monotonic?(a) Solutions will always converge(b) Solutions will not converge(c) Erroneous solutions may converge(d) Error will increaseI had been asked this question during an online interview.Enquiry is from Errors in Finite Difference Approximations topic in portion Finite Difference Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Correct option is (c) Erroneous solutions may converge

To explain: The order of convergence is valid only when the convergence is monotonic. This is because, for two consecutive grids, RESULTS may ALSO converge even if the error is large. Then, a third grid ARRANGEMENT must be used to ASSURE the real convergence of the SOLUTION.
