Improvements in mass conservation using alternative boundary implementations for a quasi-bubble finite element shallow water model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finite element approaches generally do not guarantee exact satisfaction of conservation laws especially when Dirichlet-type boundary conditions are imposed. This article discusses improvement of the global mass conservation property of quasi-bubble nite element solutions for the shallow water equations, focusing on implementations of the surface-elevation boundary conditions. We propose two alternative implementations, which are shown by numerical veri cation to be e ective in improving the smoothness of solutions near the boundary and in reducing the mass conservation error. The improvement of the mass conservation property contributes to augmenting the reliability and robustness of long-term time integrations. Copyright ? 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Discontinuous boundary implementation for the shallow water equations
Quasi-bubble nite element approximations to the shallow water equations are investigated focusing on implementations of the surface elevation boundary condition. We rst demonstrate by numerical results that the conventional implementation of the boundary condition degrades the accuracy of the velocity solution. It is also shown that the degraded velocity leads to a critical instability if the a...
متن کاملPort-Hamiltonian formulation of shallow water equations with coriolis force and topography∗
Port based network modeling of complex lumped parameter physical systems naturally leads to a generalized Hamiltonian formulation of its dynamics. The resulting class of open dynamical systems are called “Port-Hamiltonian systems” [12] which are defined using a Dirac structure, the Hamiltonian and dissipative elements. This formulation has been successfully extended to classes of distributed pa...

A novel element with arbitrary domain shape by using decoupled scaled boundary finite element (DSBFEM) is proposed for eigenvalue analysis of 2D vibrating rods with different boundary conditions. Within the proposed element scheme, the mode shapes of vibrating rods with variable boundary conditions are modelled and results are plotted. All possible conditions for the rods ends are incorporated ...

Severe Tropical Cyclones associated with surges frequently hits the coastal region of Bangladesh. For a reliable hydrodynamic model to simulate the severity of such cyclones, it is necessary to incorporate the meteorological and hydrological inputs properly. In order to incorporate the coastlines and the island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme a very fine grid resolution along the co...
