A Terrain-Following Crystal Grid Finite Volume Ocean Circulation Model
A three dimensional hydrostatic finite volume ocean model has been developed to solve the integral dynamical equations. Since the basic (integral) equations are solved for finite volumes rather than grid points, the flux conservation is easily enforced, even on arbitrary meshes. Both upwind and high-order combined compact schemes can be incorporated into the model to increase computational stab...
متن کاملHolocene glacier fluctuations
A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia) for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier fluctuations are based on 1) mapping and dating moraines defined by 14C, TCN, OSL, lichenometry and tree rings (discontinuous records/time series), and 2) sediments from proglacial lakes and speleothems (continuous records/ t...
متن کاملAn unstructured-grid, finite-volume, nonhydrostatic, parallel coastal ocean simulator
A finite-volume formulation is presented that solves the three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic Navier–Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation on an unstructured, staggered, z-level grid, with the goal of simulating nonhydrostatic processes in the coastal ocean with grid resolutions of tens of meters. In particular, the code has been developed to simulate the nonlinear, nonhydrostatic int...
متن کاملAn efficient finite volume model for shallow geothermal systems - Part II: Verification, validation and grid convergence
This part of the series of two papers presents the computational capability of the finite volume model, described in Part I, to simulate three-dimensional heat transfer processes in multiple borehole heat exchangers embedded in a multi-layer soil mass. Geothermal problems which require very fine grids, of the order of millions of finite volumes, can be simulated using coarse grids, of the order...
متن کاملAn unstructured‐grid, finite‐volume sea ice model: Development, validation, and application
[1] A sea ice model was developed by converting the Community Ice Code (CICE) into an unstructured‐grid, finite‐volume version (named UG‐CICE). The governing equations were discretized with flux forms over control volumes in the computational domain configured with nonoverlapped triangular meshes in the horizontal and solved using a second‐order accurate finite‐volume solver. Implementing UG‐CI...
