Transport schemes on a sphere using radial basis functions
The aim of this work is to introduce the physics community to the high performance of radial basis functions (RBFs) compared to other spectral methods for modeling transport (pure advection) and to provide the first known application of the RBF methodology to hyperbolic partial differential equations on a sphere. First, it is shown that even when the advective operator is posed in spherical coo...
متن کاملMesh-free Semi-Lagrangian Methods for Transport on a Sphere Using Radial Basis Functions
We present three new semi-Lagrangian methods based on radial basis function (RBF) interpolation for numerically simulating transport on a sphere. The methods are mesh-free and are formulated entirely in Cartesian coordinates, thus avoiding any irregular clustering of nodes at artificial boundaries on the sphere and naturally bypassing any apparent artificial singularities associated with surfac...
متن کاملApproximation on the sphere using radial basis functions plus polynomials
Abstract. In this paper we analyse a hybrid approximation of functions on the sphere S ⊂ R by radial basis functions combined with polynomials, with the radial basis functions assumed to be generated by a (strictly) positive definite kernel. The approximation is determined by interpolation at scattered data points, supplemented by side conditions on the coefficients to ensure a square linear sy...
متن کاملData compression on the sphere using multiscale radial basis functions
We propose two new approaches for efficiently compressing unstructured data defined on the unit sphere. Both approaches are based upon a meshfree multiscale representation of functions on the unit sphere. This multiscale representation employs compactly supported radial basis functions of different scales. The first approach is based on a simple thresholding strategy after the multiscale repres...
متن کاملRotational transport on a sphere: Local node refinement with radial basis functions
This paper develops an algorithm for radial basis function (RBF) local node refinement and implements it for vortex roll-up and transport on a sphere. A heuristic based on an electrostatic repulsion type principle is used to re-distribute the nodes, clustering in areas where higher resolution is needed. It is then important to have a scheme that varies the shape of the RBFs over the domain so a...
