Certain two and three dimensional numerical solutions to the adjoint Euler equations have a value at and near the surface of wings and airfoils that depends strongly on the mesh density and which does not converge as the mesh is refined. The purpose of this paper is to characterize this problem and offer insights as to the possible explanation of this unusual behavior.
