چکیده

English version: Because of their capability to preserve steady-states, well-balanced schemes for Shallow Water equations are becoming popular. Among them, the hydrostatic reconstruction proposed in [1], coupled with a positive numerical flux, allows to verify important mathematical and physical properties like the positivity of the water height and, thus, to avoid unstabilities when dealing with dry zones. In this note, we prove that this method exhibits an abnormal behavior for some combinations of slope, mesh size and water height. Version Française : Une limitation de la reconstruction hydrostatique pour la résolution du système de Saint-Venant. De par leur capacité à préserver les états d’équilibre, les schémas équilibres connaissent actuellement un fort développement dans la résolution des équations de Saint-Venant. En particulier, la reconstruction hydrostatique proposée dans [1], couplée à un flux numérique positif, permet de garantir certaines propriétés comme la positivité de la hauteur d’eau et, donc, d’éviter certaines instabilités pour traiter les zones sèches. Dans cette note, nous montrons que cette méthode présente un défaut pour certaines combinaisons de pente, taille de maillage et hauteur d’eau. Version française abrégée Les équations de Saint-Venant (1) posent des difficultés numériques spécifiques : préservation des équilibres stationnaires (flaques d’eau, lacs) et de la positivité de la hauteur d’eau. La reconstruction hydrostatique, introduite dans [1, 4], s’est imposée comme une méthode particulièrement adaptée. Elle fait partie de la classe des schémas dits équilibrés (well-balanced). Partant d’une méthode de volumes finis (2), dont le flux numérique F est adapté au système sans topographie, on reconstruit les variables u, h, h+z afin de préserver les équilibres.

Buckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Shallow Spherical Shells Under External Hydrostatic Pressure

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical buckling load for simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to uniform external pressure. A metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure me...

Efficient well-balanced hydrostatic upwind schemes for shallow-water equations

The proposed work concerns the numerical approximations of the shallow-water equations with varying topography. The main objective is to introduce an easy and systematic technique to enforce the well-balance property and to make the scheme able to deal with dry areas. To access such an issue, the derived numerical method is obtained by involving the free surface instead of the water height and ...

An improved numerical scheme for a coupled system to model soil erosion and polydispersed sediments transport

Overland flow and soil erosion play an essential role in water quality and soil degradation. Such processes, involving the interactions between water flow, suspended particles and soil, are classically described by a well-established system of PDE coupling the shallow water equations and the Hairsine-Rose model. The numerical approximation of this coupled system requires advanced methods to pre...

Hydrostatic Upwind Schemes for Shallow–Water Equations

We consider the numerical approximation of the shallow–water equations with non–flat topography. We introduce a new topography discretization that makes all schemes to be well–balanced and robust. At the discrepancy with the well–known hydrostatic reconstruction, the proposed numerical procedure does not involve any cut–off. Moreover, the obtained scheme is able to deal with dry areas. Several ...

A Non-Hydrostatic Shallow Water Model on Triangular Meshes in Sam(oa) Guided Research Project

For the simulation of tsunamis, the hydrostatic shallow water equations have established as a sound mathematical basis. However, due to the hydrostatic assumption, not all relevant physical effects—especially in coastal areas—can be modelled accurately. In this paper, we therefore show how to extend the PDE-framemwork sam(oa)2 towards modified non-hydrostatic shallow water equations. We use the...
