Conservative Semi-Lagrangian Advection on Adaptive Unstructured Meshes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A conservative semi-Lagrangian method is designed in order to solve linear advection equations in two space variables. The advection scheme works with finite volumes on an unstructured mesh, which is given by a Voronoi diagram. Moreover, the mesh is subject to adaptive modifications during the simulation, which serves to effectively combine good approximation quality with small computational costs. The required adaption rules for the refinement and the coarsening of the mesh rely on a customized error indicator. The implementation of boundary conditions is addressed. Numerical results finally confirm the good performance of the proposed conservative and adaptive advection scheme.

متن کاملA constrained transport scheme for MHD on unstructured static and moving meshes
Magnetic fields play an important role in many astrophysical systems and a detailed understanding of their impact on the gas dynamics requires robust numerical simulations. Here we present a new method to evolve the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations on unstructured static and moving meshes that preserves the magnetic field divergence-free constraint to machine precision. The method over...
متن کاملA Semi-Implicit Semi-Lagrangian Finite-Element Shallow-Water Ocean Model
The nite-element, semi-implicit, and semi-Lagrangian methods are combined together to solve the shallow-water equations using unstructured triangular meshes. Triangular nite elements are attractive for ocean modeling because of their exibility for representing irregular boundaries and for local mesh re nement. A \kriging" interpolator is used for the semi-Lagrangian advection, leading to an acc...
متن کاملAn unconditionally stable fully conservative semi-Lagrangian method
Semi-Lagrangian methods have been around for some time, dating back at least to [3]. Researchers have worked to increase their accuracy, and these schemes have gained newfound interest with the recent widespread use of adaptive grids where the CFL-based time step restriction of the smallest cell can be overwhelming. Since these schemes are based on characteristic tracing and interpolation, they...
متن کاملConservative semi-Lagrangian schemes for Vlasov equations
Conservative methods for the numerical solution of the Vlasov equation are developed in the context of the one-dimensional splitting. In the case of constant advection, these methods and the traditional semi-Lagrangian ones are proven to be equivalent, but the conservative methods offer the possibility to add adequate filters in order to ensure the positivity. In the non constant advection case...
