Abstract

The element of the epistemic uncertainty quantification concerning the estimation of the approximation error is analyzed from the viewpoint of the ensemble of numerical solutions obtained via independent numerical algorithms. The analysis is based on the geometry considerations: the triangle inequality and measure concentration in spaces of great dimension. In result, the feasibility for nonintrusive postprocessing appears that provides the approximation error estimation on the ensemble of the solutions. The ensemble of numerical results obtained by five OpenFOAM solvers is analyzed. The numerical tests were made for the inviscid compressible flow around a cone at zero angle of attack and demonstrated the successful estimation of the approximation error.
