High Resolution Parallel Coastal Ocean Modeling: a Large Eddy Simulation Tool
This project aims to synthesize a number of computational and numerical tools to produce an innovative and powerful coastal ocean simulation tool to generate accurate predictions of motions and transport in coastal oceans under conditions when a nonhydrostatic and terrain-following representation is essential. Another primary objective is to apply the best algorithms available to create a simul...
متن کاملModel-Data Intercomparison for Marginal Sea Overflows
LONG-TERM GOALS The primary goal of this project is to enhance our understanding of the dynamics of oceanic overflows, which are characterized by high levels of turbulence and mixing near strategic straits connecting various marginal seas and oceans. OBJECTIVES 1) To complement field studies and to develop a better understanding of the characteristics of mixing and its influence on the subseque...
متن کاملTransformed Flux-form Semi-Lagrangian Scheme for Coastal Ocean Modeling
Numerical approaches in atmospheric and oceanic modeling inevitably introduce diffusion (or dissipation) and dispersion into the approximate solution. From a physical point of view, advection of a passive tracer is the simple transition of a quantity. Therefore, dispersion, the propagation of different spatial scales at different phase speed, and diffusion are processes that are aliens to the p...
متن کاملA Vertical Splitting Scheme for Nonhydrostatic Atmospheric Model
In this study, a numerical solution of nonhydrostatic atmospheric equations is considered. A robust semi-implicit approach with additional time splitting is applied in order to construct computationally efficient and accurate numerical scheme for modeling of large-scale atmospheric dynamics. Description of the designed numerical algorithm is provided and its accuracy and stability are discussed...
متن کاملA finitevolume, incompressible Navier Stokes model for studies of the ocean on parallel computers
The numerical implementation of an ocean model based on the incompressible Navier Stokes equations which is designed for studies of the ocean circulation on horizontal scales less than the depth of the ocean right up to global scale is described. A "pressure correction" method is used which is solved as a Poisson equation for the pressure field with Neumann boundary conditions in a geometry as ...
