Book Well Balanced Central Scheme for the Two dimensional Shallow Water Equations

Download or read book Well Balanced Central Scheme for the Two dimensional Shallow Water Equations written by Sarah Tarek Khankan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We aim to develop a new class of well-balanced non-oscillatory second-order accurate central schemes for the approximating solution of general two-dimensional hyperbolic systems, and in particular to approximate the solution of shallow water equation systems (SWE) on Cartesian grids. The base scheme evolves the numerical solution on a unique Cartesian grid and avoids the resolution of the Riemann problems arising at the cell interfaces thanks to a layer of ghost staggered cells implicitly used while updating the solution. --The system of shallow water equations represents a good mathematical model for the hydrodynamics of coastal oceans, simulation of flows in channels and rivers, study of large-scale waves and vertically averaged regimes in the atmosphere and ocean. Here h denotes the water depth, (u, v) represents the flow velocity, g is the gravitational constant, and b is the function that models the water bed topography. b vanishes in the case of a flat riverbed and the resulting system becomes a hyperbolic system. Most numerical schemes fail to maintain the steady state constraint of shallow water equation problems and generate numerical (nonphysical) waves and storms. In this project, we shall investigate several approaches that could be coupled with our numerical base scheme in order to ensure, when necessary, the steady state condition of SWE systems.

Book Balanced Central Schemes for the Shallow Water Equations on Unstructured Grids

Download or read book Balanced Central Schemes for the Shallow Water Equations on Unstructured Grids written by Nasa Technical Reports Server (Ntrs) and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a two-dimensional, well-balanced, central-upwind scheme for approximating solutions of the shallow water equations in the presence of a stationary bottom topography on triangular meshes. Our starting point is the recent central scheme of Kurganov and Petrova (KP) for approximating solutions of conservation laws on triangular meshes. In order to extend this scheme from systems of conservation laws to systems of balance laws one has to find an appropriate discretization of the source terms. We first show that for general triangulations there is no discretization of the source terms that corresponds to a well-balanced form of the KP scheme. We then derive a new variant of a central scheme that can be balanced on triangular meshes. We note in passing that it is straightforward to extend the KP scheme to general unstructured conformal meshes. This extension allows us to recover our previous well-balanced scheme on Cartesian grids. We conclude with several simulations, verifying the second-order accuracy of our scheme as well as its well-balanced properties.

Book Shallow Water Hydrodynamics

Download or read book Shallow Water Hydrodynamics written by W.Y. Tan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1992-08-17 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within this monograph a comprehensive and systematic knowledge on shallow-water hydrodynamics is presented. A two-dimensional system of shallow-water equations is analyzed, including the mathematical and mechanical backgrounds, the properties of the system and its solution. Also featured is a new mathematical simulation of shallow-water flows by compressible plane flows of a special virtual perfect gas, as well as practical algorithms such as FDM, FEM, and FVM. Some of these algorithms have been utilized in solving the system, while others have been utilized in various applied fields. An emphasis has been placed on several classes of high-performance difference schemes and boundary procedures which have found wide uses recently for solving the Euler equations of gas dynamics in aeronautical and aerospatial engineering. This book is constructed so that it may serve as a handbook for practicians. It will be of interest to scientists, designers, teachers, postgraduates and professionals in hydraulic, marine, and environmental engineering; especially those involved in the mathematical modelling of shallow-water bodies.

Book Shock Capturing Methods for Free Surface Shallow Flows

Download or read book Shock Capturing Methods for Free Surface Shallow Flows written by E. F. Toro and published by . This book was released on 2001-03-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of its kind in the field, this title examines the use of modern, shock-capturing finite volume numerical methods, in the solution of partial differential equations associated with free-surface flows, which satisfy the shallow-water type assumption (including shallow water flows, dense gases and mixtures of materials as special samples). Starting with a general presentation of the governing equations for free-surface shallow flows and a discussion of their physical applicability, the book goes on to analyse the mathematical properties of the equations, in preparation for the presentation of the exact solution of the Riemann problem for wet and dry beds. After a general introduction to the finite volume approach, several chapters are then devoted to describing a variety of modern shock-capturing finite volume numerical methods, including Godunov methods of the upwind and centred type. Approximate Riemann solvers following various approaches are studied in detail as is their use in the Godunov approach for constructing low and high-order upwind TVD methods. Centred TVD schemes are also presented. Two chapters are then devoted to practical applications. The book finishes with an overview of potential practical applications of the methods studied, along with appropriate reference to sources of further information. Features include: * Algorithmic and practical presentation of the methods * Practical applications such as dam-break modelling and the study of bore reflection patterns in two space dimensions * Sample computer programs and accompanying numerical software (details available at www.numeritek.com) The book is suitable for teaching postgraduate students of civil, mechanical, hydraulic and environmental engineering, meteorology, oceanography, fluid mechanics and applied mathematics. Selected portions of the material may also be useful in teaching final year undergraduate students in the above disciplines. The contents will also be of interest to research scientists and engineers in academia and research and consultancy laboratories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited review book on Godunov methods contains 97 articles, all of which were presented at the international conference on Godunov Methods: Theory and Applications, held at Oxford in October 1999, to commemo rate the 70th birthday of the Russian mathematician Sergei K. Godunov. The meeting enjoyed the participation of 140 scientists from 20 countries; one of the participants commented: everyone is here, meaning that virtu ally everybody who had made a significant contribution to the general area of numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws, along the lines first proposed by Godunov in the fifties, was present at the meeting. Sadly, there were important absentees, who due to personal circumstance could not at tend this very exciting gathering. The central theme o{ the meeting, and of this book, was numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws fol lowing Godunov's key ideas contained in his celebrated paper of 1959. But Godunov's contributions to science are not restricted to Godunov's method.

Book An Adaptive Well Balanced Positivity Preserving Central Upwind Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations Over Quadtree Grids

Download or read book An Adaptive Well Balanced Positivity Preserving Central Upwind Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations Over Quadtree Grids written by Seyed Mohammad Ali Ghazizadeh Fard and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shallow water equations are widely used to model water flows in the field of hydrodynamics and civil engineering. They are complex, and except for some simplified cases, no analytical solution exists for them. Therefore, the partial differential equations of the shallow water system have been the subject of various numerical analyses and studies in past decades. In this study, we construct a stable and robust finite volume scheme for the shallow water equations over quadtree grids. Quadtree grids are two-dimensional semi-structured Cartesian grids that have different applications in several fields of engineering, such as computational fluid dynamics. Quadtree grids refine or coarsen where it is required in the computational domain, which gives the advantage of reducing the computational cost in some problems. Numerical schemes on quadtree grids have different properties. An accurate and robust numerical scheme is able to provide a balance between the flux and source terms, preserve the positivity of the water height and water surface, and is capable of regenerating the grid with respect to different conditions of the problem and computed solution. The proposed scheme uses a piecewise constant approximation and employs a high-order Runge-Kutta method to be able to make the solution high-order in space and time. Hence, in this thesis, we develop an adaptive well-balanced positivity preserving scheme for the shallow water system over quadtree grids utilizing different techniques. We demonstrate the formulations of the proposed scheme over one of the different configurations of quadtree cells. Six numerical benchmark tests confirm the ability of the scheme to accurately solve the problems and to capture small perturbations. Furthermore, we extend the proposed scheme to the coupled variable density shallow water flows and establish an extended method where we focus on eliminating nonphysical oscillations, as well as well-balanced, positivity preserving, and adaptivity properties of the scheme. Four different numerical benchmark tests show that the proposed extension of the scheme is accurate, stable, and robust.

Book Water Waves  The Mathematical Theory with Applications

Download or read book Water Waves The Mathematical Theory with Applications written by James Johnston Stoker and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1957, this is a classic monograph in the area of applied mathematics. It offers a connected account of the mathematical theory of wave motion in a liquid with a free surface and subjected to gravitational and other forces, together with applications to a wide variety of concrete physical problems. A never-surpassed text, it remains of permanent value to a wide range of scientists and engineers concerned with problems in fluid mechanics. The four-part treatment begins with a presentation of the derivation of the basic hydrodynamic theory for non-viscous incompressible fluids and a description of the two principal approximate theories that form the basis for the rest of the book. The second section centers on the approximate theory that results from small-amplitude wave motions. A consideration of problems involving waves in shallow water follows, and the text concludes with a selection of problems solved in terms of the exact theory. Despite the diversity of its topics, this text offers a unified, readable, and largely self-contained treatment.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. 1 AREAS OF APPLICATION FOR THE SHALLOW WATER EQUATIONS The shallow water equations describe conservation of mass and mo mentum in a fluid. They may be expressed in the primitive equation form Continuity Equation _ a, + V. (Hv) = 0 L(l;,v;h) at (1. 1) Non-Conservative Momentum Equations a M("vjt,f,g,h,A) = at(v) + (v. V)v + tv - fkxv + gV, - AIH = 0 (1. 2) 2 where is elevation above a datum (L) ~ h is bathymetry (L) H = h + C is total fluid depth (L) v is vertically averaged fluid velocity in eastward direction (x) and northward direction (y) (LIT) t is the non-linear friction coefficient (liT) f is the Coriolis parameter (liT) is acceleration due to gravity (L/T2) g A is atmospheric (wind) forcing in eastward direction (x) and northward direction (y) (L2/T2) v is the gradient operator (IlL) k is a unit vector in the vertical direction (1) x is positive eastward (L) is positive northward (L) Y t is time (T) These Non-Conservative Momentum Equations may be compared to the Conservative Momentum Equations (2. 4). The latter originate directly from a vertical integration of a momentum balance over a fluid ele ment. The former are obtained indirectly, through subtraction of the continuity equation from the latter. Equations (1. 1) and (1. 2) are valid under the following assumptions: 1. The fluid is well-mixed vertically with a hydrostatic pressure gradient. 2. The density of the fluid is constant.

Book Discontinuous Galerkin Methods

Download or read book Discontinuous Galerkin Methods written by Bernardo Cockburn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A class of finite element methods, the Discontinuous Galerkin Methods (DGM), has been under rapid development recently and has found its use very quickly in such diverse applications as aeroacoustics, semi-conductor device simula tion, turbomachinery, turbulent flows, materials processing, MHD and plasma simulations, and image processing. While there has been a lot of interest from mathematicians, physicists and engineers in DGM, only scattered information is available and there has been no prior effort in organizing and publishing the existing volume of knowledge on this subject. In May 24-26, 1999 we organized in Newport (Rhode Island, USA), the first international symposium on DGM with equal emphasis on the theory, numerical implementation, and applications. Eighteen invited speakers, lead ers in the field, and thirty-two contributors presented various aspects and addressed open issues on DGM. In this volume we include forty-nine papers presented in the Symposium as well as a survey paper written by the organiz ers. All papers were peer-reviewed. A summary of these papers is included in the survey paper, which also provides a historical perspective of the evolution of DGM and its relation to other numerical methods. We hope this volume will become a major reference in this topic. It is intended for students and researchers who work in theory and application of numerical solution of convection dominated partial differential equations. The papers were written with the assumption that the reader has some knowledge of classical finite elements and finite volume methods.

Book Spectral Methods for Uncertainty Quantification

Download or read book Spectral Methods for Uncertainty Quantification written by Olivier Le Maitre and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the application of spectral methods to problems of uncertainty propagation and quanti?cation in model-based computations. It speci?cally focuses on computational and algorithmic features of these methods which are most useful in dealing with models based on partial differential equations, with special att- tion to models arising in simulations of ?uid ?ows. Implementations are illustrated through applications to elementary problems, as well as more elaborate examples selected from the authors’ interests in incompressible vortex-dominated ?ows and compressible ?ows at low Mach numbers. Spectral stochastic methods are probabilistic in nature, and are consequently rooted in the rich mathematical foundation associated with probability and measure spaces. Despite the authors’ fascination with this foundation, the discussion only - ludes to those theoretical aspects needed to set the stage for subsequent applications. The book is authored by practitioners, and is primarily intended for researchers or graduate students in computational mathematics, physics, or ?uid dynamics. The book assumes familiarity with elementary methods for the numerical solution of time-dependent, partial differential equations; prior experience with spectral me- ods is naturally helpful though not essential. Full appreciation of elaborate examples in computational ?uid dynamics (CFD) would require familiarity with key, and in some cases delicate, features of the associated numerical methods. Besides these shortcomings, our aim is to treat algorithmic and computational aspects of spectral stochastic methods with details suf?cient to address and reconstruct all but those highly elaborate examples.

Book Asymptotic and Stationary Preserving Schemes for Kinetic and Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Asymptotic and Stationary Preserving Schemes for Kinetic and Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations written by Farah Kanbar and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we are interested in numerically preserving stationary solutions of balance laws. We start by developing finite volume well-balanced schemes for the system of Euler equations and the system of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with gravitational source term. Since fluid models and kinetic models are related, this leads us to investigate Asymptotic Preserving (AP) schemes for kinetic equations and their ability to preserve stationary solutions. In an attempt to mimic our result for kinetic equations in the context of fluid models, for the isentropic Euler equations we developed an AP scheme in the limit of the Mach number going to zero. The properties of the schemes we developed and its criteria are validated numerically by various test cases from the literature.
