Convergence Analysis of the Numerical Method for the Primitive Equations Formulated in Mean Vorticity on a Cartesian Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
A second order numerical method for the primitive equations (PEs) of large-scale oceanic flow formulated in mean vorticity is proposed and analyzed, and the full convergence in L2 is established. In the reformulation of the PEs, the prognostic equation for the horizontal velocity is replaced by evolutionary equations for the mean vorticity field and the vertical derivative of the horizontal velocity. The total velocity field (both horizontal and vertical) is statically determined by differential equations at each fixed horizontal point. The standard centered difference approximation is applied to the prognostic equations and the determination of numerical values for the total velocity field is implemented by FFT-based solvers. Stability of such solvers are established and the convergence analysis for the whole scheme is provided in detail.

In this study, a numerical solution of 2D steady incompressible lid-driven cavity flow is presented. Three different numerical schemes were employed to make a comparison on the practicality of the methods. An alternating direction implicit scheme for the vorticity-stream function formulation, explicit and implicit schemes for the primitive variable formulation of governing Navier-Stokes equatio...
متن کاملDiscrete Compatibility in Finite Diierence Methods for Viscous Incompressible Fluid Flow
Thom's vorticity condition for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is generally known as a rst-order method since the local truncation error for the value of boundary vorticity is rst order accurate. In the present paper, it is shown that convergence in the boundary vorticity is actually second order for steady problems and for time-dependent problems when t > 0. The result is pr...

متن کاملQuadtree and Octree Grid Generation
Engineering analysis often involves the accurate numerical solution of boundary value problems in discrete form. Hierarchical quadtree (or octree) grid generation offers an efficient method for the spatial discretisation of arbitrary-shaped two- (or three-) dimensional domains. It consists of recursive algebraic splitting of sub-domains into quadrants (or cubes), leading to an ordered hierarchi...
متن کاملThe new implicit finite difference scheme for two-sided space-time fractional partial differential equation
Fractional order partial differential equations are generalizations of classical partial differential equations. Increasingly, these models are used in applications such as fluid flow, finance and others. In this paper we examine some practical numerical methods to solve a class of initial- boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. S...
