We introduce and analyse the so-called Reference Solution IMplicit-EXplicit scheme as a flux-splitting method for singularly-perturbed systems of balance laws. RS-IMEX scheme’s bottom-line is to use the Taylor expansion of the flux function and the source term around a reference solution (typically the asymptotic limit or an equilibrium solution) to decompose the flux and the source into stiff and non-stiff parts so that the resulting IMEX scheme is Asymptotic Preserving (AP) w.r.t. the singular parameter tending to zero. We prove the asymptotic consistency, asymptotic stability, solvability and well-balancing of the scheme for the case of the one-dimensional shallow water equations when the singular parameter is the Froude number. We will also study several test cases to illustrate the quality of the computed solutions and to confirm the analysis.

Abstract A global version of the equivalent barotropic vorticity equation is derived for the one-layer shallow-water equations on a sphere. The equation has the same form as the corresponding beta plane version, but with one important difference: the stretching (Cressman) term in the expression of the potential vorticity retains its full dependence on f 2, where f is the Coriolis parameter. As a check of the resulting system, the dynamics of linear Rossby waves are considered. It is shown that these waves are rather accurate approximations of the westward-propagating waves of the second class of the original shallow-water equations. It is also concluded that for Rossby waves with short meridional wavelengths the factor f 2 in the stretching term can be replaced by the constant value f02, where f0 is the Coriolis parameter at ±45° latitude.

The first-order Lax-Friedrichs (LF) scheme is commonly used in conjunction with other schemes to achieve monotone and stable properties with lower numerical diffusion. Nevertheless, the LF scheme and the schemes devised based on it, for example, the first-order centered (FORCE) and the slope-limited centered (SLIC) schemes, cannot achieve a time-step-independence solution due to the excessive numerical diffusion at a small time step. In this work, two time-step-convergence improved schemes, the C-FORCE and C-SLIC schemes, are proposed to resolve this problem. The performance of the proposed schemes is validated in solving the one-layer and two-layer shallow-water equations, verifying their capabilities in attaining time-step-independence solutions and showing robustness of them in resolving discontinuities with high-resolution.

This second chapter offers a brief introduction to geophysical fluid dynamics—the dynamics of rotating, stratified flows. We start with the shallow water equations, which govern columnar motion in a thin layer of homogeneous fluid. Roughly speaking, the solutions of the shallow-water equations comprise two types of motion: ageostrophic motions, including inertia-gravity waves, on the one hand, and nearly geostrophic motions on the other. In rapidly rotating flow, these two types of motion may, in some sense, decouple. We seek simpler equations that describe only the nearly geostrophic motion. The simplest such equations are the quasigeostrophic equations. In the quasigcostrophic equations, potential vorticity plays the key role: The potential vorticity completely determines the velocity field that transports it, thereby controlling the whole dynamics. We begin by generalizing our previously derived fluid equations to a rotating coordinate frame.

Предложена новая неявная безусловно устойчивая схема для одномерных уравнений мелкой воды, сохраняющая все особенности явной схемы Кабаре. Проведен анализ диссипативных и дисперсионных свойств новой схемы и предложен алгоритм ее численного решения. Приведены примеры решения задачи о распаде разрыва. A new implicit unconditionally stable scheme for the one-dimensional shallow water equations is proposed. This implicit scheme retains all the features of the explicit CABARET (Compact Accurately Boundary Adjusting-REsolution Technique) difference scheme. Dissipative and dispersion properties of this new scheme are analyzed; an algorithm of its numerical solution is discussed. Some examples of solving the Riemann problem are considered.
