AbstractThis paper proposes the combination of matrix exponential method with the semi-Lagrangian approach for the time integration of shallow water equations on the sphere. The second order accuracy of the developed scheme is shown. Exponential semi-Lagrangian scheme in the combination with spatial approximation on the cubed-sphere grid is verified using the standard test problems for shallow water models. The developed scheme is as good as the conventional semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian scheme in accuracy of slowly varying flow component reproduction and significantly better in the reproduction of the fast inertia-gravity waves. The accuracy of inertia-gravity waves reproduction is close to that of the explicit time-integration scheme. The computational efficiency of the proposed exponential semi-Lagrangian scheme is somewhat lower than the efficiency of semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian scheme, but significantly higher than the efficiency of explicit, semi-implicit, and exponential Eulerian schemes.

. The increased occurrence of floods in the city of Rio do Sul (SC), even with the creation of dams to contain floods, show that non-structural measures can be good alternatives to reduce losses in the region. Numerical flood modeling has been widely used to anticipate risks and assist in decisionmaking. One of the numerical models that is being used to simulate floods is TELEMAC-2D, which is able to simulate the hydrodynamics of open channels by solving the shallow water equations in a domain discretized by an unstructured finite element mesh. We used the TELEMAC-2D model tosimulate the dynamics of the rivers of the region of Rio do Sul throughout the year of 2013, period during which a flood with large proportions occurred in September. Fluviometric data avaliable from the National Water Agency and high resolution (1 m) topographic data provided by government agen-cies of Santa Catarina were used in the simulation. The results show that the model performed well in simulating the maximum flood extension occurred in September, however, the simulations were underestimated for most of the time, indicating that calibrations in the model can still be performed.

Abstract. Using a fine resolution numerical model (40002 × 2 grid-points) of the two-layer shallow-water equations of the mid-latitude β-plane dynamics, it is shown that there is no sudden breakdown of balance in the turbulent enstrophy cascade but a faint and continuous emission of inertia–gravity waves. The wave energy accumulates in the equator-ward region of the domain due to the Coriolis parameter depending on the latitude and dispersion relation of inertia–gravity waves.

Abstract. The shallow water equations provide a useful analogue of the fully compressible Euler equations since they have similar characteristics: conservation laws, inertia-gravity and Rossby waves, and a (quasi-) balanced state. In order to obtain realistic simulation results, it is desirable that numerical models have discrete analogues of these properties. Two prototypical examples of such schemes are the 1981 Arakawa and Lamb (AL81) C-grid total energy and potential enstrophy conserving scheme, and the 2007 Salmon (S07) Z-grid total energy and potential enstrophy conserving scheme. Unfortunately, the AL81 scheme is restricted to logically square, orthogonal grids, and the S07 scheme is restricted to uniform square grids. The current work extends the AL81 scheme to arbitrary non-orthogonal polygonal grids and the S07 scheme to arbitrary orthogonal spherical polygonal grids in a manner that allows for both total energy and potential enstrophy conservation, by combining Hamiltonian methods (work done by Salmon, Gassmann, Dubos, and others) and discrete exterior calculus (Thuburn, Cotter, Dubos, Ringler, Skamarock, Klemp, and others). Detailed results of the schemes applied to standard test cases are deferred to part 2 of this series of papers.

The Porous Shallow water Equations are widely used in the context of urban flooding simulation. In these equations, the solid obstacles are implicitly taken into account by averaging the classic Shallow water Equations on a control volume containing the fluid phase and the obstacles. Numerical models for the approximate solution of these equations are usually based on the approximate calculation of the Riemann fluxes at the interface between cells. In the present paper, it is presented the exact solution of the one-dimensional Riemann problem over the dry bed, and it is shown that the solution always exists, but there are initial conditions for which it is not unique. The non-uniqueness of the Riemann problem solution opens interesting questions about which is the physically congruent wave configuration in the case of solution multiplicity.

Abstract. A two-dimensional shallow water equation integrated on depth water based on finite differential methods. Numerical solutions with different methods consist of explicit, implicit and semi-implicit schemes. Different methods of shallow water equations expressed in numerical schemes. For bottom-friction is described in semi-implicitly. This scheme will be more flexible for initial values and boundary conditions when compared to the explicit schemes.  Keywords: 2D numerical models, shallow water equations, explicit and semi-implicit schema.Reference Hassan, H.
