Geophysical-astrophysical spectral-element adaptive refinement (GASpAR): Object-oriented h-adaptive code for geophysical fluid dynamics simulation
We present an object-oriented geophysical and astrophysical spectral-element adaptive refinement (GASpAR) code for application to turbulent flows. Like most spectralelement codes, GASpAR combines finite-element efficiency with spectral-method accuracy. It is also designed to be flexible enough for a range of geophysics and astrophysics applications where turbulence or other complex multiscale p...
متن کاملPredictability and Dynamics of Geophysical Fluid Flows
The central objective of my research in this project is to understand the mathematical and physical connections between the bred-growing-mode and singular vector techniques recently developed for numerical weather prediction, the Lyapunov vectors and exponents of dynamical systems theory, and instability theories of geophysical fluid dynamics. My intent is to gain insight into fundamental mathe...
متن کاملReduced MHD and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
Recent work has shown a relationship between between the equations of Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD), used to model magnetic fusion laboratory experiments, and incompressible magnetoconvection (IMC), employed in the simulation of astrophysical fluid dynamics (AFD), which means that the two systems are mathematically equivalent in certain geometries. Limitations on the modelling of RMHD, wh...
متن کاملEntropic Forces in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Theories and numerical models of atmospheres and oceans are based on classical mechanics with added parameterizations to represent subgrid variability. Reformulated in terms of derivatives of information entropy with respect to large scale configurations, we find systematic forces very different from those usually assumed. Two examples are given. We see that entropic forcing by ocean eddies sys...
متن کاملTime Discrete Approximation of Weak Solutions to Stochastic Equations of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and Applications
As a first step towards the numerical analysis of the stochastic primitive equations of the atmosphere and the oceans, the time discretization of these equations by an implicit Euler scheme is studied. From the deterministic point of view, the 3D primitive equations are studied in their full form on a general domain and with physically realistic boundary conditions. From the probabilistic viewp...
