TABLE 2B.

Computed drag error and rates of convergence for various number of grid points on the boundary (n = 75, 100, 125, and 150) for different values of viscosity = 80, 90, and 100

Viscosity Batchelor's drag Error_75 Rate Error_100 Rate Error_125 Rate Error_150
80 176.7 63.6 1.81 37.7 4.57 13.6 2.70 8.3
90 194.7 81.0 1.35 54.8 2.66 30.3 7.96 7.1
100 215.5 101.4 1.05 74.9 1.81 50.0 5.75 17.5

The convergence rate is defined by Inline graphic where Inline graphic are the errors in the drag for two different number of mesh points, Inline graphic on the boundary.
