A Semi-lagrangian Approach to the Shallow Water Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a formulation of the shallow water equations that emphasizes the conservation of potential vorticity. A locally conservative semi-Lagrangian time-stepping scheme is developed, which leads to a 593 https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19940017007 2017-12-03T14:09:29+00:00Z

A 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 کاملSemi-lagrangian Transport Algorithms for the Shallow Water Equations in Spherical Geometry
Global atmospheric circulation models (GCM) typically have three primary algorithmic components: columnar physics, spectral tran-form, and semi-Lagrangian transport. In this study, several varients of a SLT method are studied in the context of test cases for the shallow water equations in spherical geometry. A grid point formulation is used with implicit, semi-implicit or explicit time integrat...
متن کاملSolving a system of 2D Burgers' equations using Semi-Lagrangian finite difference schemes
In this paper, we aim to generalize semi-Lagrangian finite difference schemes for a system of two-dimensional (2D) Burgers' equations. Our scheme is not limited by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition and therefore we can apply larger step size for the time variable. Proposed schemes can be implemented in parallel very well and in fact, it is a local one-dimensional (LOD) scheme which o...
متن کاملA Spectral Element Semi-lagrangian Method for the Shallow Water Equations on Unstructured Grids
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is twofold: to give a brief yet comprehensive description of the spectral element and semi-Lagrangian methods, and to introduce a new method arrived at by fusing both of these impressive methods. The practical aspects of both methods are described in detail by their implementation on the 2D shallow water equations. These equations have been used customarily t...
متن کاملA high-order fully explicit flux-form semi-Lagrangian shallow-water model
A new approach is proposed for constructing a fully explicit third-order mass-conservative semi-Lagrangian scheme for simulating the shallow-water equations on an equiangular cubed-sphere grid. State variables are staggered with velocity components stored pointwise at nodal points and mass variables stored as element averages. In order to advance the state variables in time, we first apply an e...
