Global advection transport model on hexagonal-pentagonal geodesic grid by multi-moment scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 3rd order numerical model is developed for global advection transport computation. The multi-moment finite volume method has been implemented to the hexagonal-pentagonal geodesic grid for spherical geometry. Two kinds of moments, i.e. point value and volume-integrated average, are used as the constraint conditions to derive the time evolution equations to update the computational variables, which are in the present model the values defined at the specified points over each mesh element. The numerical model has rigorous numerical conservation and 3rd order accuracy, and provides an accurate and practical formulation for advection calculation in the hexagonal-pentagonal type geodesic grid.

Numerical representation of geostrophic modes on arbitrarily structured C-grids
A C-grid staggering, in which the mass variable is stored at cell centers and the normal velocity component is stored at cell faces (or edges in two dimensions) is attractive for atmospheric modeling since it enables a relatively accurate representation of fast wave modes. However, the discretization of the Coriolis terms is non-trivial. For constant Coriolis parameter, the linearized shallow w...

متن کاملApproximation of the differential operators on an adaptive spherical geodesic grid using spherical wavelets
In this work, a new adaptive multi-level approximation of surface divergence and scalar-valued surface curl operator on a recursively refined spherical geodesic grid is presented. A hierarchical finite volume scheme based on the wavelet multi-level decomposition is used to approximate the surface divergence and scalar-valued surface curl operator. The multi-level structure provides a simple way...
متن کاملAn Incremental Remapping Transport Scheme on a Spherical Geodesic Grid
Weather and climate models contain equations for transporting conserved quantities such as the mass of air, water, ice, and associated tracers. Ideally, the numerical schemes used to solve these equations should be conservative, spatially accurate, and monotonicity-preserving. One such scheme is incremental remapping, previously developed for transport on quadrilateral grids. Here the increment...
متن کاملA balanced semi-implicit discretization on icosahedral C-grids for the linear shallow water equations on the sphere
The linear shallow water equations on the sphere are discretized on a quasi-uniform, geodesic, icosahedral Voronoi-Delaunay grid with a C-grid variable arrangement and semi-implicit time discretization. A finite volume discretization is employed for the continuity equation in conservation law form, using as control volumes either the hexagonal/pentagonal or the dual triangular cells. A geostrop...
