A Fast and Compact Solver for the Shallow Water Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a fast and simple method for solving the shallow water equations. The water velocity and height variables are collocated on a uniform grid and a novel, unified scheme is used to advect all quantities together. Furthermore, we treat the fluid as weakly compressible to avoid solving a pressure Poisson equation. We sacrifice accuracy and unconditional stability for speed, but we show that our algorithm is sufficiently stable and fast enough for real-time applications.

A fast finite volume solver for multi-layered shallow water flows with mass exchange
A fast finite volume solver for hydrostatic multi-layered shallow water flows with mass exchange is investigated. In contrast to many models for multi-layered hydrostatic shallow water flows where the immiscible suppression is assumed, the present model allows for mass exchange between the layers. The multi-layered shallow water equations form a system of conservation laws with source terms for...
متن کاملA Semi-implicit Semi-lagrangian Shallow-water Model for Massively Parallel Processors
The formulation of a grid point shallow-water model proposed by C^ ot e and Stan-iforth is described. The model employs a hybrid nite-volume//nite-element spatial discretisation on a staggered Arakawa B type grid, where the geopoten-tial is computed at grid points and the wind u is found at grid cell centers. Time integration is based upon a two-time-level semi-implicit, semi-Lagrangian scheme....
متن کاملA Wave Propagation Algorithm for Hyperbolic Systems on Curved Manifolds
An extension of the wave propagation algorithm first introduced by LeVeque [J. Comp. Phys. 131, 327–353 (1997)] is developed for hyperbolic systems on a general curved manifold. This extension is important in a variety of applications, including the propagation of sound waves on a curved surface, shallow water flow on the surface of the Earth, shallow water magnetohydrodynamics in the solar tac...

Severe Tropical Cyclones associated with surges frequently hits the coastal region of Bangladesh. For a reliable hydrodynamic model to simulate the severity of such cyclones, it is necessary to incorporate the meteorological and hydrological inputs properly. In order to incorporate the coastlines and the island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme a very fine grid resolution along the co...
متن کاملAugmented Riemann solvers for the shallow water equations over variable topography with steady states and inundation
We present a class of augmented approximate Riemann solvers for the shallow water equations in the presence of a variable bottom surface. These belong to the class of simple approximate solvers that use a set of propagating jump discontinuities, or waves, to approximate the true Riemann solution. Typically, a simple solver for a system of m conservation laws uses m such discontinuities. We pres...
