Notes on Computing the Shallow Water Equations on a Sphere by Finite Volume Methods∗
In this paper we report on our experiences applying the finite volume method to the shallow water equations on a sphere. The equations are based on spherical coordinates and discretized on a regular latitude-longitude grid. We have applied our methods to problems from the standard test suite of Williamson et al. [12], the simplest of these being steady state problems. The standard wave-propagat...
متن کاملForced-Dissipative Shallow-Water Turbulence on the Sphere and the Atmospheric Circulation of the Giant Planets
Although possibly the simplest model for the atmospheres of the giant planets, the turbulent forceddissipative shallow-water system in spherical geometry has not, to date, been investigated; the present study aims to fill this gap. Unlike the freely decaying shallow-water system described by Cho and Polvani, equilibrium states in the forced-dissipative system are highly dependent on details of ...
متن کاملOptimal Quadrati Spline Collo ation Methods for the Shallow Water Equations on the Sphere
In this study, we present numerical methods, based on the optimal quadratic spline collocation (OQSC) methods, for solving the shallow water equations (SWEs) in spherical coordinates. A quadratic spline collocation method approximates the solution of a differential problem by a quadratic spline. In the standard formulation, the quadratic spline is computed by making the residual of the differen...
متن کاملThe structure of zonal jets in shallow water turbulence on the sphere
The large-scale motions of planetary atmospheres and oceans, constrained by strong stable stratification and rapid rotation, are characterized in part by quasi-two dimensional turbulent motion and in part by coherent structures, such as vortices, zonal jets, and low-frequency waves. These motions are intimately linked and understanding their complex and multiscale interactions presents a comple...
متن کاملA finite element method for solving the shallow water equations on the sphere
Within the framework of ocean general circulation modeling, the present paper describes an efficient way to discretize partial differential equations on curved surfaces by means of the finite element method on triangular meshes. Our approach benefits from the inherent flexibility of the finite element method. The key idea consists in a dialog between a local coordinate system defined for each e...
