You're talking about a norm for quantifying solution accuracy, not an estimator for use in AMR, correct? This gets complicated by the mixed nature of the stabilized approximation (1st order at the shock), but C.Roy et al had a good paper looking at these issues http://www.dept.aoe.vt.edu/~cjroy/

Thanks, Roy. For some of my earlier work I had used Kelly's error estimator for transonic flow problems, and it did exactly what you have described. It kept on refining the elements at the shock, and around the leading edge and trailing edge locations of an airfoil, which are locations of singular
