An Eulerian Limited-Area Atmospheric Transport Model

Simulating orographic rainfall with a limited-area, non-hydrostatic atmospheric model under idealized forcing

A modified version of an operational 3dimensional, non-hydrostatic, limited-area atmospheric model (MM5) was used to perform high-resolution, idealized simulations of the interaction of an infinitely long single ridge with a steady, lateral large-scale wind field. The effect of different mountain ridge dimensions, wind speeds and patterns and moisture profiles on the quantity and distribution o...

Continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods for a scalable three-dimensional nonhydrostatic atmospheric model: Limited-area mode

This paper describes a unified, element based Galerkin (EBG) framework for a three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic model for the atmosphere. In general, EBG methods possess high-order accuracy, geometrical flexibility, excellent dispersion properties and good scalability. Our nonhydrostatic model, based on the compressible Euler equations, is appropriate for both limited-area and global atmospheric...

Atmospheric Tracer Transport Model Intercomparison Project (TransCom)

A multi-phase program of model intercomparison is proposed to reduce uncertainties in the global carbon budget resulting from differences among atmospheric tracer transport simulations. The TransCom program is already well underway, having begun in 1993 and completed two major experiments. The results to date are summarized in a Technical Report and indicate that significant differences among t...

Performance of A Limited Area Model For The Simulation of Western Disturbances

Dynamic Behavior of Local Solids Concentration in Fluidized Beds: Experimental Validation of an Eulerian-Eulerian Model

Recent years have witnessed significant improvements in the computer modeling of fluidized particle systems. Such models hold the potential to simulate complex systems and thus greatly reduce design efforts. As we approach the goal of simulating arbitrary systems, there exists a greater need to challenge the ability of the models to predict key features of operating beds. The simplest challenge...
