Table 1. Calculation of discretization errors for three cases simulated in this study.

The calculations were performed for the wall shear stress at the neck of the complex COA (inner wall). Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic and Inline graphic represent the wall shear stress, the extrapolated wall shear stress value, the approximate relative error, the extrapolated relative error and the fine-grid convergence index, respectively.
