β¦ Synopsis
It is claimed that current practices in grid convergence studies, particularly in the field of external aerodynamics, are flawed. The necessary conditions to properly establish grid convergence are presented. A theoretical model and a numerical example are used to demonstrate these ideas. It is shown that anomalously low or high observed convergence rates can be exhibited by otherwise well-behaved algorithms because of improper use of grid refinement ratios in different directions.

The convergence properties of a full discrete approximations to the convection-diffusion equation is the subject of this paper. The full discrete scheme considered is of Lagrangian type: Euler Implicit on time and centered finite difference on space, and is defined using nonrectangular grids. We ana
