Wave and Circulation Prediction on Unstructured Grids

JIGSAW-GEO (1.0): locally orthogonal staggered unstructured grid generation for general circulation modelling on the sphere

An algorithm for the generation of non-uniform, locally orthogonal staggered unstructured spheroidal grids is described. This technique is designed to generate very high-quality staggered Voronoi–Delaunay meshes appropriate for general circulation modelling on the sphere, including applications to atmospheric simulation, ocean-modelling and numerical weather prediction. Using a recently develop...

Transonic Turbulent Flow Computations on Unstructured Triangular Grids

A New Implicit Dissipation Term for Solving 3D Euler Equations on Unstructured Grids by GMRES+LU-SGS Scheme

Due to improvements in computational resources, interest has recently increased in using implicit scheme for solving flow equations on 3D unstructured grids. However, most of the implicit schemes produce greater numerical diffusion error than their corresponding explicit schemes. This stems from the fact that in linearizing implicit fluxes, it is conventional to replace the Jacobian matrix in t...

Acoustic Ray-Tracing on Unstructured Adaptive Grids

A computationally efficient acoustic ray-tracing code based on unstructured adaptive grids is described in detail. The use of unstructured grids allows wave propagation simulations on complex computational domains. Detailed surface layer physics is included to take into account the atmospheric variability under different stability conditions and landuse inhomogeneities. The ray-tracing model ha...
