A well‐balanced weighted essentially non‐oscillatory scheme for pollutant transport in shallow water

In this paper, a well‐balanced finite difference weighted essentially non‐oscillatory scheme is presented for modeling transport and diffusion of pollutant in shallow water flows. The scheme balances exactly the flux gradients and the source terms. Extensive one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional numerical experiments on uniform and curvilinear meshes strongly suggest that high resolution results are achieved for both water depth and pollutant concentration. The scheme is efficient and robust and can be applied to practical numerical simulation of pollutant transport phenomena in shallow water flows. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive finite element method for analysis of pollutant dispersion in shallow water

A finite element method for analysis of pollutant dispersion in shallow water is presented. The analysis is divided into two parts ： （ 1 ） computation of the velocity flow field and water surface elevation, and （2） computation of the pollutant concentration field from the dispersion model. The method was combined with an adaptive meshing technique to increase the solution accuracy, as well as to reduce the computational time and computer memory. The finite element formulation and the computer programs were validated by several examples that have known solutions. In addition, the capability of the combined method was demonstrated by analyzing pollutant dispersion in Chao Phraya River near the gulf of Thailand.     

NND schemes and numerical simulation of axial symmetric free jet flows

Through a study on one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, it was found that the spurious oscillations occuring near shock waves with finite difference equations are related to the dispersion term in the corresponding modified differential equations. If the sign of dispersion coefficient is properly adjusted so that the sign changes across shock waves, the undesirable oscillations can be totally suppressed. Based on this finding, the non-oscillatory, containing no free parameters and dissipative shheme (NND scheme) is developed. This scheme is one of “TVD”. The axisymmetric free jet flows are simulated numerically using this scheme. The results obtained by the present scheme are compared with the experimental picture. It is shown that the agreement is very good, and that this scheme has advantages of high resolution for capturing shocks and contact discontinuities.

2D shallow water flow model for the hydraulic jump

A flow model is presented for predicting a hydraulic jump in a straight open channel. The model is based on the general 2D shallow water equations in strong conservation form, without artificial viscosity, which is usually incorporated into the flow equations to capture a hydraulic jump. The equations are discretised using the finite volume method. The results are compared with experimental data and available numerical results, and have shown that the present model can provide good results. The model is simple and easy to implement. To demonstrate the potential application of the model, several hydraulic jumps occurring in different situations are simulated, and the predictions are in good agreement with standard solution for open channel hydraulics.

A meshless numerical wave tank for simulation of nonlinear irregular waves in shallow water

Time domain simulation of the interaction between offshore structures and irregular waves in shallow water becomes a focus due to significant increase of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals. To obtain the time series of irregular waves in shallow water, a numerical wave tank is developed by using the meshless method for simulation of 2D nonlinear irregular waves propagating from deep water to shallow water. Using the fundamental solution of Laplace equation as the radial basis function (RBF) and locating the source points outside the computational domain, the problem of water wave propagation is solved by collocation of boundary points. In order to improve the computation stability, both the incident wave elevation and velocity potential are applied to the wave generation. A sponge damping layer combined with the Sommerfeld radiation condition is used on the radiation boundary. The present model is applied to simulate the propagation of regular and irregular waves. The numerical results are validated by analytical solutions and experimental data and good agreements are observed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An improved depth-averaged nonhydrostatic shallow water model with quadratic pressure approximation

Phase-resolved information is necessary for many coastal wave problems, for example, for the wave conditions in the vicinity of harbor structures. Two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaging shallow water models are commonly used to obtain a phase-resolved solution near the coast. These models are in general more computationally effective compared with computational fluid dynamics software and will be even more capable if equipped with a parallelized code. In the current article, a 2D wave model solving the depth-averaged continuity equation and the Euler equations is implemented in the open-source hydrodynamic code REEF3D. The model is based on a nonhydrostatic extension and a quadratic vertical pressure profile assumption, which provides a better approximation of the frequency dispersion. It is the first model of its kind to employ high-order discretization schemes and to be fully parallelized following the domain decomposition strategy. Wave generation and absorption are achieved with a relaxation method. The simulations of nonlinear long wave propagations and transformations over nonconstant bathymetries are presented. The results are compared with benchmark wave propagation cases. A large-scale wave propagation simulation over realistic irregular topography is shown to demonstrate the model's capability of solving operational large-scale problems.     

The design of characterizing-integral schemes and the application to the shallow water wave problems

In this paper a new approach for designing upwind type schemes-the characterizing-integral method and its applied skills are introduced. The method is simple, convenient and eff ective. And the method isn ’t only limited to conservation laws unlike other methods and maybe easily extended to multi-dimension problems. Furthermore, the numerical dissipation of the method can be flexibly regulated, so that it is especially suitable for solving various discontinuity problems.The paper shows us now to use this approach to simulate deformation and breaking of a nonlinear shallow water wave on a gentle slope, and to compute two-dimensional dam failure problem.     

A modified lattice Boltzmann model for shallow water flows over complex topography

A modified lattice Boltzmann model is proposed to describe shallow water flows over complex topography. In the proposed model, the quadratic depth term is excluded from the equilibrium distribution functions (EDFs), and the hydrostatic pressure term is combined with the bed slope term to be treated as a part of the sourcing term in the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE). Therefore, it is unnecessary to match the coefficients of the quadratic depth term in the EDFs with those of the bed slope term in the sourcing terms in the LBE. This would bring more flexibility to the treatment of the sourcing terms in the LBE. In order to recover the shallow water equations (SWEs), the basic constraints are redefined, and under these constraints, the coefficients of the EDFs are derived afterwards. Several benchmark problems are used to validate the proposed model, including stationary case, steady flows over a two‐dimensional bump and tidal wave flows over irregular bed elevation. The computed results are in excellent agreement with the results of the other numerical methods and the analytical solutions, indicating that the proposed model is capable of simulating shallow water flows over complex bathymetry. It also proves that the proposed model has potential to produce competitive solutions to shallow water flows over complex bed topography. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Numerical simulation of pollutant transport acted by wave for a shallow water sea bay

A numerical model of pollutant transport acted by water waves on a shallow‐water mild‐slope beach is established in this study. The numerical model is combined with a wave propagation model, a multiple wave‐breaking model, a wave‐induced current model and a pollutant convection–dispersion model. The wave propagation model is based on the higher‐order approximation of parabolic mild‐slope equation which can be used to simulate the wave refraction, diffraction and breaking in a large area of near‐shore zone combined with the wave‐breaking model. The wave‐induced current model is established using the concept of the radiation stress and considering the effect of bottom resistance caused by waves. The numerical model is verified by laboratory experiment results of regular and irregular waves over two mild beaches with different slopes. The numerical results agree well with experimental results. The numerical model has been applied in the near‐shore zone of Bohai bay in China. It is concluded that pollutant transport parallel to the shoreline due to the action of waves, which will induce serious pollution on the beach. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A POD-based reduced-order model for uncertainty analyses in shallow water flows

ABSTRACT

This work presents an intrusive reduced-order model (IROM) for uncertainty propagation analyses for flood flows. The 2D shallow water equations are reduced using Galerkin’s projection onto bases obtained from the snapshot-based proper orthogonal decomposition technique. To speed up the computations, the non-polynomial and nonlinear momentum and friction terms are judiciously approximated and the time accuracy issues are addressed using the principal interval decomposition technique. The performance of the IROM is investigated in some test cases. Also, this model is applied to the study of uncertainty propagation for a hypothetical flood in a real river, to derive a probabilistic flood map. The upstream discharge and the Manning roughness coefficient are considered as the uncertain parameters. For relatively small variations around the mean of the inputs, the comparisons of the statistical moments (mean and standard deviation) of the water depth show errors, between the reduced and full models, less than 0.72%. These simulations were completed at up to 50 times faster using the proposed reduced model.     

Large eddy simulation of turbulent shallow water flows using multi‐relaxation‐time lattice Boltzmann model

In this paper, the standard Smagorinsky's algorithm is embedded into the multiple relaxation time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) for large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent shallow water flows (MRT‐LABSWE^TM). The model is based on the two‐dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations, giving the depth‐averaged features. It is verified by applying the model in three typical cases in engineering with turbulence: (i) the flow around a square cylinder, (ii) plane cavity flow, and (iii) flows in a junction of 90°. The results obtained by the MRT‐LABSWE^TM are compared with BGK‐LABSWE^TM results and experimental data. The objectives of this study are to validate the MRT‐LABSWE^TM in a turbulence simulation and perform a comparative analysis between the results of BGK‐LABSWE^TM and MRT‐LABSWE^TM.

Lattice Boltzmann modeling of shallow water flows over discontinuous beds

Numerical modeling of shallow water flows over discontinuous beds is presented. The flows are described with the shallow water equations and the equations are solved using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with single relaxation time (Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook‐LBM (BGK‐LBM)) and the multiple relaxation time (MRT‐LBM). The weighted centered scheme for force term together with the bed height for a bed slope is described to improve simulation of flows over discontinuous bed. Furthermore, the resistance stress is added to include the local head loss caused by flow over a step. Four test cases, one‐dimensional tidal over regular bed and steps, dam‐break flows, and two‐dimensional shallow water flow over a square block, are considered to verify the present method. Agreements between predictions and analytical solutions are satisfactory. Furthermore, the performance and CPU cost time of BGK‐LBM and MRT‐LBM are compared and studied. The results have shown that the lattice Boltzmann method is simple and accurate for simulating shallow water flows over discontinuous beds. This demonstrates the capability and applicability of the lattice Boltzmann method in modeling shallow water flows on bed topography with a discontinuity in practical hydraulic engineering.

Use of two‐step split‐operator approach for 2D shallow water flow computation

The objective of this paper is to present a methodology of using a two‐step split‐operator approach for solving the shallow water flow equations in terms of an orthogonal curvilinear co‐ordinate system. This approach is in fact one kind of the so‐called fractional step method that has been popularly used for computations of dynamic flow. By following that the momentum equations are decomposed into two portions, the computation procedure involves two steps. The first step (dispersion step) is to compute the provisional velocity in the momentum equation without the pressure gradient. The second step (propagation step) is to correct the provisional velocity by considering a divergence‐free velocity field, including the effect of the pressure gradient. This newly proposed method, other than the conventional split‐operator methods, such as the projection method, considers the effects of pressure gradient and bed friction in the second step. The advantage of this treatment is that it increases flexibility, efficiency and applicability of numerical simulation for various hydraulic problems. Four cases, including back‐water flow, reverse flow, circular basin flow and unsteady flow, have been demonstrated to show the accuracy and practical application of the method.

A stabilized SPH method for inviscid shallow water flows

In this paper, the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is applied to the solution of shallow water equations. A brief review of the method in its standard form is first described then a variational formulation using SPH interpolation is discussed. A new technique based on the Riemann solver is introduced to improve the stability of the method. This technique leads to better results. The treatment of solid boundary conditions is discussed but remains an open problem for general geometries. The dam‐break problem with a flat bed is used as a benchmark test.

An hp‐adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method for shallow water flows

An adaptive spectral/hp discontinuous Galerkin method for the two‐dimensional shallow water equations is presented. The model uses an orthogonal modal basis of arbitrary polynomial order p defined on unstructured, possibly non‐conforming, triangular elements for the spatial discretization. Based on a simple error indicator constructed by the solutions of approximation order p and p?1, we allow both for the mesh size, h, and polynomial approximation order to dynamically change during the simulation. For the h‐type refinement, the parent element is subdivided into four similar sibling elements. The time‐stepping is performed using a third‐order Runge–Kutta scheme. The performance of the hp‐adaptivity is illustrated for several test cases. It is found that for the case of smooth flows, p‐adaptivity is more efficient than h‐adaptivity with respect to degrees of freedom and computational time.

Efficient construction of high‐resolution TVD conservative schemes for equations with source terms: application to shallow water flows

High‐resolution total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes are widely used for the numerical approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws. Their extension to equations with source terms involving spatial derivatives is not obvious. In this work, efficient ways of constructing conservative schemes from the conservative, non‐conservative or characteristic form of the equations are described in detail. An upwind, as opposed to a pointwise, treatment of the source terms is adopted here, and a new technique is proposed in which source terms are included in the flux limiter functions to get a complete second‐order compact scheme. A new correction to fix the entropy problem is also presented and a robust treatment of the boundary conditions according to the discretization used is stated.

Third- and fourth-order well-balanced schemes for the shallow water equations based on the CWENO reconstruction

High-order finite volume schemes for conservation laws are very useful in applications, due to their ability to compute accurate solutions on quite coarse meshes and with very few restrictions on the kind of cells employed in the discretization. For balance laws, the ability to approximate up to machine precision relevant steady states allows the scheme to compute accurately, also on coarse meshes, small perturbations of such states, which are very relevant for many applications. In this paper, we propose third- and fourth-order accurate finite volume schemes for the shallow water equations. The schemes have the well-balanced property thanks to a path-conservative approach applied to an appropriate nonconservative reformulation of the equations. High-order accuracy is achieved by designing truly two-dimensional (2D) reconstruction procedures of the central WENO (CWENO ) type. The novel schemes are tested for accuracy and well-balancing and shown to maintain positivity of the water height on wet/dry transitions. Finally, they are applied to simulate the Tohoku 2011 tsunami event.
