Unstructured Adaptive Grid Generation for Geophysical Flow Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an adaptive, unstructured mesh generator, which can be used for discretizing regional and global domains for geophysical flow simulations in general, and atmospheric flow simulations in particular. The global mesh generator is a part of the Operational Multiscale Environmental model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA) System. For a physically complex and computationally intensive atmospheric flow simulation, such as real-time hurricane prediction, the optimization afforded by unstructured adaptive grids is demonstrated.

Adaptive Unstructured Grid Generation Scheme for Solution of the Heat Equation
An adaptive unstructured grid generation scheme is introduced to use finite volume (FV) and finite element (FE) formulation to solve the heat equation with singular boundary conditions. Regular grids could not acheive accurate solution to this problem. The grid generation scheme uses an optimal time complexity frontal method for the automatic generation and delaunay triangulation of the grid po...
متن کاملAdaptive Solution of Steady Two Dimensional Flow on an Unstructured Grid
Two-dimensional Euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. An upwind finite volume scheme, based on Roes flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. Using advancing front method, an initial Delaunay triangulation has been made. The adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, acc...

متن کاملEffects of Directional Subdividing on adaptive Grid-Embedding (RESEARCH NOTE)
The effects of using both directions and directional subdividing on adaptive gridembedding on the computational time and the number of grid points required for the same accuracy are considered. Directional subdividing is used from the beginning of the adaptation procedure without any restriction. To avoid the complication of unstructured grid, the semi-structured grid was used. It is used to so...
