  2. Outline • Introduction • Numerics • Results • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Shallow water equations can be a good model for many flow situations • e.g rivers, lakes, estuaries, near shore • Realistic problems have variable bathymetry • In conservative Godunov schemes it is difficult to balance flux gradients and source terms containing depth leading to errors • Surface Gradient Method (SGM) developed to overcome difficulties

  4. Surface Gradient Method • Simpler than competitors • (e.g Leveque, Vazquez-Cendon) • Centred Discretisation • Computationally efficient • Accurate solutions for wide range of demanding problems • e.g. transcritical flow with bores over bumps • Solves SWE without source term splitting • Can be extended to a Cartesian cut cell framework (AMAZON-CC)

  5. Shallow Water Equations(inviscid) Conserved quantities Flux tensor g: acceleration due to gravity, h: water depth,  = g h, V = u i + v j velocity.

  6. Source Terms bed slope bed friction wind shear

  7. Numerical Scheme • High resolution, Godunov type • Conservative • Finite volume (AMAZON-CC uses Cartesian • cut cells for automatic boundary fitted mesh) • Interface flux via MUSCL reconstruction • Riemann flux by HLL approx Riemann solver • Surface Gradient Method (SGM) for accurate • source term discretisation

  8. Numerical Scheme 2-stage 1) Predictor: n: time level, i,j: cell index, m: cell side, A: cell area, Lm: side vector, F(Um) interface flux. : discretised source term

  9. MUSCL Reconstruction 1-D Cartesian,

  10. Numerical Scheme 2) Corrector: : Riemann flux from HLL approximate Riemann solver

  11. Surface Gradient Method Uses h rather than h for reconstruction of f Applying MUSCL to h gives,

  12. Surface Gradient Method Bathymetry given at cell interfaces. To get required cell centre values assume piecewise linear, Bed slopes approximated by central difference, Scheme retains conservative property

  13. AMAZON-CC Techniques are easily extended to Cartesian cut cell grids AMAZON-CC simulation of a landslide generated tsunami in a fjord

  14. Results What about a 1-D picture v exact soln

  15. Results Seawall modelled using bed slope (left) and solid boundary (right)

  16. Results Fig 2 from Jingous’s paper wind induced circulation

  17. Results Fig 4 from Jingou, overtop sea wall

  18. Conclusions • The Surface Gradient Method is a simple way to treat source terms within a conservative Godunov type scheme • Results are good for a wide range of demanding test cases • The method can be incorporated into a Cartesian cut cell framework • (AMAZON-CC)
