Determining The Effective Resolution of Advection Schemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effective resolution of a numerical scheme describes the smallest spatial scale (largest wavenumber) that is completely resolved by that scheme. This is often significantly larger than the model’s grid spacing, resulting in poor representation of features that are of the order of the grid scale. We present two methods to determine the effective resolution of numerical advection schemes. An analytical method using dispersion relation analysis is used to assess the effects of common modeling choices, such as order-ofaccuracy and explicit diffusion, on the effective resolution of linear schemes. As the analysis is linear, we use a numerical test methodology to assess nonlinear schemes. Using this testing we investigate the impact different types of flux-limiters have on the effective resolution of advection schemes.

A 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 کاملEfficiency of high order numerical schemes for momentum advection
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 configuration...
