Abstract A new approach for the solution of time-dependent calculations of buoyancy driven currents is presented. This method employs the idea that density variation can be pursued by using markers distributed in the flow field. The analysis based on the finite difference technique with the non-staggered grid fractional step method is used to solve the flow equations written in terms of primitive variables. The physical domain is transformed to a rectangle by means of a numerical mapping technique. The problems analyzed include two-fluid flow in a tank with sloping bottom and colliding density currents. The numerical experiments performed show that this approach is efficient and robust.

Abstract Two explicit schemes for the numerical solution of the shallow-water equations are examined. The directional-splitting fractional-step method permits relatively large time steps without an iterative process by using a treatment based on the characteristics of the governing equations. The interpolated differential operator (IDO) scheme has fourth-order accuracy in time and space by using a Hermite interpolation function covering local domains, and accurate results are obtained with coarse meshes. It is shown that the two schemes are very efficient for hydrostatic meteorological models from the viewpoints of numerical accuracy and central processing unit time, and the fact that they are explicit makes them suitable for computers with parallel architecture.
