Global semi-Lagrangian advection
نویسنده
چکیده
In the recent years, many international centers for numerical weather prediction and climate modeling have adopted in their operational codes a semiLagrangian scheme for transport. This numerical technique became very popular due to its stability and accuracy properties. The time step is only restricted by accuracy and not by a CFL stability condition. In a joint effort with CPTEC/INPE (the Brazilian Center for Weather Prediction and Climate Studies), a semi-Lagrangian model has been developed in FORTRAN90 in an object-oriented style. This code (called WEATHER) simulates the fully 3D passive-advection on a sphere. Some technical details and results will be presented in this article. Currently the semi-Lagrangian model is being coupled to a spectral solver, capable of handling the stiff-linear terms of the prognostic equations. These new numerical tools will be adopted by the operational CPTEC/COLA code.

particle - mesh semi - Lagrangian advection scheme
We describe the remapped particle-mesh method, a new mass-conserving method for solving the density equation which is suitable for combining with semi-Lagrangian methods for compressible flow applied to numerical weather prediction. In addition to the conservation property, the remapped particle-mesh method is computationally efficient and at least as accurate as current semi-Lagrangian methods...
متن کاملConservative semi-Lagrangian schemes for Vlasov equations
Conservative methods for the numerical solution of the Vlasov equation are developed in the context of the one-dimensional splitting. In the case of constant advection, these methods and the traditional semi-Lagrangian ones are proven to be equivalent, but the conservative methods offer the possibility to add adequate filters in order to ensure the positivity. In the non constant advection case...
متن کاملEffective node adaption for grid-free semi-Lagrangian advection
Grid-free adaptive semi-Lagrangian advection, as recently suggested in [3], relies on two basic ingredients: scattered data approximation and a customized strategy for the adaption (coarsening and refinement) of the scattered nodes. In this paper, effective rules for the node adaption are proposed. The practicability of the grid-free advection method is illustrated in our numerical examples by ...

In this paper we study the error propagation of numerical schemes for the advection equation in the case where high precision is desired. The numerical methods considered are based on the fast Fourier transform, polynomial interpolation (semi-Lagrangian methods using a Lagrange or spline interpolation), and a discontinuous Galerkin semi-Lagrangian approach (which is conservative and has to stor...

In this paper, we propose a semi-Lagrangian finite difference formulation for approximating conservative form of advection equations with general variable coefficients. Compared with the traditional semi-Lagrangian finite difference schemes [4, 21], which approximate the advective form of the equation via direct characteristics tracing, the scheme proposed in this paper approximates the conserv...
