Variable resolution on quasi-uniform grids: linear advection experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A couple of different techniques for implementing the variable resolution within numerical models of the atmosphere that use quasi-uniform grids are estimated and compared based on their merit in the simple linear advection experiments. These techniques are: grid stretching, Schmidt transforming and grid overlapping. The quasi-uniform grids are: a conformal cubic and an octagonal grid. The techniques for the variable resolution are evaluated from the perspective of their effects on numerical solution and the practicality of their application. Our analysis suggests that the grid stretching is for now the most optimal choice. However, a special form of grid overlapping is presented that has potential to become a viable alternative in the future.

Finite-volume transport on various cubed-sphere grids
The performance of a multidimensional finite-volume transport scheme is evaluated on the cubed-sphere geometry. Advection tests with prescribed winds are used to evaluate a variety of cubed-sphere projections and grid modifications including the gnomonic and conformal mappings, as well as two numerically generated grids by an elliptic solver and spring dynamics. We explore the impact of grid no...
متن کاملComputational Modes and Grid Imprinting on Five Quasi-Uniform Spherical C Grids
Currently, most operational forecasting models use latitude–longitude grids, whose convergence of meridians toward the poles limits parallel scaling. Quasi-uniform grids might avoid this limitation. Thuburn et al. and Ringler et al. have developed a method for arbitrarily structured, orthogonal C grids called TRiSK, which has many of the desirable properties of the C grid on latitude–longitude ...

The quasi-P wave in anisotropic solids is of practical importance in obtaining maximal imaging resolution in seismic exploration. The geometrical optics term in the asymptotic expansion for the wave characterizes the high frequency part of the quasi-P wave by using two functions: a phase (traveltime) function satisfying an eikonal equation and an amplitude function satisfying a transport equati...
متن کاملModelling, Analysis and Simulation On the convergence analysis of advection-diffusion schemes on non-uniform grids
Numerical schemes for advection-di usion problems are often used with non-uniform grids. Non-uniform grids are known to greatly complicate the convergence analysis and their use therefore is much less straightforward than for uniform grids. For example, it is possible that a scheme which is inconsistent at the level of the local truncation error truly converges with order two. The purpose of th...

In this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. We utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms. By using Bernstein polynomial basis, the problem is transformed in...
