Semicompressible Ocean Thermodynamics and Boussinesq Energy Conservation

Modeling Energy Conservation in a Completely Integrable Boussinesq system

This work presents a derivation of the energy density and energy flux of surface waves modeled by the so-called Kaup system, a variant of the Boussinesq system. The derivation is based on reconstruction of the velocity field and the pressure in the fluid column below the free surface, and is an extension of a method recently proposed in [2]. In the present note, it is shown that the total energ...

A View from the Conservation of Energy to Chemical Thermodynamics

Energy Conservation in Building

The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...

Parametric vertical coordinate formulation for multiscale, Boussinesq, and non-Boussinesq ocean modeling

Two physical parameters are introduced into the basic ocean equations to generalize numerical ocean models for various vertical coordinate systems and their hybrid features. The two parameters are formulated by combining three techniques: the arbitrary vertical coordinate system of Kasahara [Kasahara, A., 1974. Various vertical coordinate systems used for numerical weather prediction. Mon. Weat...

General Curvilinear Ocean Model (GCOM): Enabling Thermodynamics

General Curvilinear Ocean Model (GCOM) is a coastal ocean model curvilinear in 3 dimensions, developed by Carlos Torres et al. The model uses a direct numerical simulation (DNS) approach to solve the primitive Navier-Stokes equations and uses boundary fitted Curvilinear coordinates; therefore, it is possible to use GCOM in various topographies and meshes. GCOM is currently being coupled with he...
