A non-hydrostatic Rhea

Histomoniasis in a captive great rhea (Rhea americana).

Verification of a non-hydrostatic dynamical core

The non-hydrostatic (NH) compressible Euler equations of dry atmosphere are solved in a simplified two dimensional (2-D) slice framework employing a spectral element method (SEM) for the horizontal discretization and a finite difference method (FDM) for the vertical discretization. The SEM uses high-order nodal basis functions asso-5 ciated with Lagrange polynomials based on Gauss–Lobatto–Legen...

non-hydrostatic, three-dimensional Boussinesq equations

We study the three-dimensional, incompressible, non-hydrostatic Boussinesq fluid equations, which are applicable to the dynamics of the oceans and atmosphere. These equations describe the interplay between velocity shear and buoyancy gradients in a rotating frame, which are represented in a hierarchy of dynamical variables Ωm(t) for 1 ≤ m < ∞, identified as the sum of the L-norms of these varia...
