Efficiency of high order numerical schemes for momentum advection

چکیده
The usefulness of high order numerical schemes for treating the advection of momentum in the primitive equations is examined. It is shown that the use of high order advection schemes for themomentum advection can improve the dynamics of potential vorticity for length scales similar to the deformation radius. This is illustrated using numerical experiments in academic and realistic configurations. In particular, a model of the North Sea is used to evaluate the effect of a high order momentum advection scheme. It is found that a fourth order scheme at 4 km resolution gives results close to a second order scheme at 2 km resolution, as far as mean and eddy kinetic energy, position of currents, size eddies are concerned. It is concluded that computing the advection of momentumwith a fourth order scheme is more cost effective than doubling their resolution. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Approximation of stochastic advection diffusion equations with finite difference scheme
In this paper, a high-order and conditionally stable stochastic difference scheme is proposed for the numerical solution of $rm Ithat{o}$ stochastic advection diffusion equation with one dimensional white noise process. We applied a finite difference approximation of fourth-order for discretizing space spatial derivative of this equation. The main properties of deterministic difference schemes,...
متن کاملA total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...

Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...

متن کاملNonstandard explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method with positivity property
When one solves differential equations, modeling physical phenomena, it is of great importance to take physical constraints into account. More precisely, numerical schemes have to be designed such that discrete solutions satisfy the same constraints as exact solutions. Based on general theory for positivity, with an explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method (we will refer to it as RK3 method) pos...
