Theoretical Results

AbstractA new mixed finite volume method for elliptic equations with tensor coefficients on rectangular meshes (2 and 3-D) is presented. The implementation of the discretization as a finite volume method for the scalar variable (“pressure”) is derived. The scheme is well suited for heterogeneous and anisotropic media because of the generalized harmonic averaging. It is shown that the method is stable and well posed. First-order error estimates are derived. The theoretical results are confirmed by the presented numerical experiments.

The Stability

<p>GungHo is the mixed finite-element dynamical core under development by the Met Office. A key component of the dynamical core is the transport scheme, which advects density, temperature, moisture, and the winds, throughout the atmosphere. Transport in GungHo is performed by finite-volume methods, to ensure conservation of certain quantaties. There are a range of different finite-volume schemes being considered for transport, including the Runge-Kutta/method-of-lines and COSMIC/Lin-Rood schemes. Additional horizontal/vertical splitting approaches are also under consideration, to improve the stability aspects of the model. Here we discuss these transport options and present results from the GungHo framework, featuring both prescribed velocity advection tests and full dry dynamical core tests. </p>

First Moment

In this work we present some moment preserving finite volume schemes (FVS) for solving population balance equations. We are considering unified numerical methods to simultaneous aggregation, breakage, growth and source terms, e.g. for nucleation. The criteria for the preservation of different moments are given. The property of conservation is a special case of preservation. First we present a FVS which shows the preservation with respect to one-moment depending upon the processes under consideration. In case of the aggregation and breakage it satisfies first-moment preservation whereas for the growth and nucleation we observe zeroth-moment preservation. This is due to the well-known property of conservativity of FVS. However, coupling of all the processes shows no preservation for any moments. To overcome this issue, we reformulate the cell average technique into a conservative formulation which is coupled together with a modified upwind scheme to give moment preservation with respect to the first two-moments for all four processes under consideration. This allows for easy coupling of these processes. The preservation is proven mathematically and verified numerically. The numerical results for the first two-moments are verified for various coupled processes where analytical solutions are available.
