چکیده
Discretizations based on unstructured grids have been widely used in other scientific disciplines for modeling problems bounded by complex geometries. Solution-adaptive techniques are relatively easy to implement on unstructured grids and in addition they provide a convenient way to model the multi-scale spanning nature of atmospheric flows. This paper describes the implementation of a higher-order Godunov-type scheme on unstructured adaptive grids for the advection-diffusion equation in two dimensions. Validation of the numerical scheme and the solutionadaptive technique against exact solutions of benchmark cases is discussed. It is shown that the scheme is conservative, exhibits little numerical diffusion and is well suited for modeling Eulerian transport. The improvement in computational efficiency while maintaining the accuracy of the solution via solution-adaptive techniques is also demonstrated.

A New Implicit Dissipation Term for Solving 3D Euler Equations on Unstructured Grids by GMRES+LU-SGS Scheme
Due to improvements in computational resources, interest has recently increased in using implicit scheme for solving flow equations on 3D unstructured grids. However, most of the implicit schemes produce greater numerical diffusion error than their corresponding explicit schemes. This stems from the fact that in linearizing implicit fluxes, it is conventional to replace the Jacobian matrix in t...

Twenty years ago, the multi-dimensional, positive definite, advection transport algorithm was introduced by Smolarkiewicz. Over the two decades since, it has been applied countless times to numerous problems, however almost always on rectilinear grids. One of the few exceptions is the Operational Multiscale Environment model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA), an atmospheric simulation system origina...

Our multiscale air quality modeling activities are reviewed. Two different techniques, static grid nesting and dynamic grid adaptions are discussed. The mass conservation and transportive properties of our grid nesting technique are shown in a linear advection problem. Results from an air quality application to the northeastern U.S. are also presented. The solution accuracy with the adaptive gr...
