Adaptive Multigrid Hurricane Modeling

چکیده
Adaptive multigrid techniques offer the potential of fast computation and high accuracy; they differ from conventional nested grid methods by making full use of the interplay between discretizations on the different grids. Their potential has been demonstrated in a multigrid barotropic hurricane track model (MUDBAR) developed by the PI, which runs ten to twenty times faster than a uniformresolution version for the same level of accuracy. A preliminary version of this model is described in Fulton (1997). Using this model as a base, our current research effort centers on the development of adaptive multigrid methods and their use in studying hurricane dynamics and motion. The principal objectives of this work are:

A Comparison of Multilevel Adaptive Methods for Hurricane Track Prediction
Abstract. Adaptive multilevel methods are described and tested for the problem of predicting the path of a moving hurricane. The physical model consists of conservation of vorticity in a two-dimensional incompressible fluid; the discrete model uses conservative second-order finite differences. The methods described are the BergerOliger (BO) algorithm, with the Poisson problem for the streamfunc...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Multigrid Model for Hurricane Track Prediction
SUMMARY This paper describes a simple numerical model for hurricane track prediction which uses a multigrid method to adapt the model resolution as the vortex moves. The model is based on the modiied barotropic vorticity equation, discretized in space by conservative nite diierences and in time by a Runge-Kutta scheme. A multigrid method is used to solve an elliptic problem for the streamfuncti...
متن کاملADAPTIVE GRIDDING TECHNIQES FOR GROUNDWAm CONTAMINANT MODELING (COLLECTION OF PUBLICATIONS)
Mixed finite-element methods are attractive in modeling flows in porous media, since they can yield pressures and velocities having comparable accuracy. In solving the resulting discrete equations, however, poor matrix conditioning can arise both from spatial heterogeneity in the medium and from the fine grids needed to resolve that heterogeneity. This paper presents iterative schemes that over...
متن کاملA Marker-Based, Adaptive/Multi-Grid Technique for Interfacial Fluid Dynamics
Multiphase flows associated with interfacial dynamics, steep jump in fluid-properties, and moving boundaries between different phases and materials pose substantial computational challenges. Modeling the interfacial dynamics often involves a compromise between the accuracy and efficiency. Recent progress made in handling the geometry of three-dimensional interfaces, adaptive grid refinement, an...

We are developing multigrid methods that will efficiently solve elliptic problems with anisotropic and discontinuous coefficients on adaptive grids. The final product will be a library that provides for the simplified solution of such problems. This library will directly benefit the efforts of other Laboratory groups. The focus of this work is research on serial and parallel elliptic algorithms...
