On the Computation of Roll Waves

Shi Jin, Yong Jung Kim (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The phenomenon of roll waves occurs in a uniform open-channel flow down an incline, when the Froude number is above two. The goal of this paper is to analyze the behavior of numerical approximations to a model roll wave equation , which arises as a weakly nonlinear approximation of the shallow water equations. The main difficulty associated with the numerical approximation of this problem is its linear instability. Numerical round-off error can easily overtake the numerical solution...

Aerodynamic Computations Using a Finite Volume Method with an HLLC Numerical Flux Function

L. Remaki, O. Hassan, K. Morgan (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

A finite volume method for the simulation of compressible aerodynamic flows is described. Stabilisation and shock capturing is achieved by the use of an HLLC consistent numerical flux function, with acoustic wave improvement. The method is implemented on an unstructured hybrid mesh in three dimensions. A solution of higher order accuracy is obtained by reconstruction, using an iteratively corrected least squares process, and by a new...

Numerical simulations of wave breaking

Philippe Helluy, Frédéric Golay, Jean-Paul Caltagirone, Pierre Lubin, Stéphane Vincent, Deborah Drevard, Richard Marcer, Philippe Fraunié, Nicolas Seguin, Stephan Grilli, Anne-Cécile Lesage, Alain Dervieux, Olivier Allain (2005)

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of wave breaking. It presents the results of a numerical workshop that was held during the conference LOMA04. The objective is to compare several mathematical models (compressible or incompressible) and associated numerical methods to compute the flow field during a wave breaking over a reef. The methods will also be compared with experiments.

A finite element method for extended KdV equations

Anna Karczewska, Piotr Rozmej, Maciej Szczeciński, Bartosz Boguniewicz (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The finite element method (FEM) is applied to obtain numerical solutions to a recently derived nonlinear equation for the shallow water wave problem. A weak formulation and the Petrov-Galerkin method are used. It is shown that the FEM gives a reasonable description of the wave dynamics of soliton waves governed by extended KdV equations. Some new results for several cases of bottom shapes are presented. The numerical scheme presented here is suitable for taking into account stochastic...
