Abstract Accurate and stable numerical discretization of the equations for the nonhydrostatic atmosphere is required, for example, to resolve interactions between clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere. Here the authors present a modification of the hydrostatic control-volume approach for solving the nonhydrostatic Euler equations with a Lagrangian vertical coordinate. A scheme with low numerical diffusion is achieved by introducing a low Mach number approximate Riemann solver (LMARS) for atmospheric flows. LMARS is a flexible way to ensure stability for finite-volume numerical schemes in both Eulerian and vertical Lagrangian configurations. This new approach is validated on test cases using a 2D (x–z) configuration.

The paper deals with the case of damage to the underwater pipeline through which oil and associated gas are transported. The process of oil and gas migration is described by the flow of a multiphase submerged jet. At the initial moment, the temperature of the incoming hydrocarbons, their initial velocity, the temperature of the surrounding water, the depth of the pipeline is known. The paper considers two cases of different initial parameters of hydrocarbon outflow from the pipeline. In the first case, the thermobaric environmental conditions correspond to the conditions of hydrate formation and stable existence. Such a case corresponds to the conditions of the hydrocarbons flow in the Gulf of Mexico. In the second case, hydrate is not formed. Such flows correspond to the cases of oil transportation through pipelines in the Baltic sea (for example, Nord stream–2). The process of hydrate formation will be characterized by the following dynamics of the bubble: first, it will be completely gas, then a hydrate shell (composite bubble) will begin to form on its surface, then the bubble will become completely hydrate, which will be the final stage. The integral Lagrangian control volume method will be considered for modeling the dynamics of hydrocarbon jet propagation. According to this method, the jet is considered as a sequence of elementary volumes. When modeling the jet flow, the laws of conservation of mass, momentum and energy for the components included in the control volume are taken into account. The equations are used taking into account the possible formation of hydrate. Thermophysical characteristics of hydrocarbons coming from the damaged pipeline for cases of deep-water and shallow-water pipeline laying are obtained. The trajectories of hydrocarbon migration, the dependence of the jet temperature and density on the vertical coordinate are analyzed.

Abstract An improved version (HLLC) of the Harten, Lax, van Leer Riemann solver (HLL) for the steady supersonic Euler equations is presented. Unlike the HLL, the HLLC version admits the presence of the slip line in the structure of the solution. This leads to enhanced resolution of computed slip lines by Godunov type methods. We assess the HLLC solver in the context of the first order Godunov method and the second order weighted average flux method (WAF). It is shown that the improvement embodied in the HLLC solver over the HLL solver is virtually equivalent to incorporating the exact Riemann solver.

The acoustic equations derived as a linearization of the Euler equations are a valuable system for studies of multi-dimensional solutions. Additionally they possess a low Mach number limit analogous to that of the Euler equations. Aiming at understanding the behaviour of the multi-dimensional Godunov scheme in this limit, first the exact solution of the corresponding Cauchy problem in three spatial dimensions is derived. The appearance of logarithmic singularities in the exact solution of the 4-quadrant Riemann Problem in two dimensions is discussed. The solution formulae are then used to obtain the multidimensional Godunov finite volume scheme in two dimensions. It is shown to be superior to the dimensionally split upwind/Roe scheme concerning its domain of stability and ability to resolve multi-dimensional Riemann problems. It is shown experimentally and theoretically that despite taking into account multi-dimensional information it is, however, not able to resolve the low Mach number limit.

<p>The NEMO platform possesses a versatile block-structured refinement capacity thanks to the AGRIF library. It is however restricted up to versions 4.0x, to the horizontal direction only. In the present work, we explain how we extended the nesting capabilities to the vertical direction, a feature which can appear, in some circumstances, as beneficial as refining the horizontal grid.</p><p>Doing so is not a new concept per se, except that we consider here the general case of child and parent grids with possibly different vertical coordinate systems, hence not logically defined from each other as in previous works. This enables connecting together for instance z (geopotential), s (terrain following) or eventually ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) coordinate systems. In any cases, two-way exchanges are enabled, which is the other novel aspect tackled here.  </p><p>Considering the vertical nesting procedure itself, we describe the use of high order conservative and monotone polynomial reconstruction operators to remap from parent to child grids and vice versa. Test cases showing the feasibility of the approach are presented, with particular attention on the connection of s and z grids in the context of gravity flow modelling. This work can be considered as a preliminary step towards the application of the vertical nesting concept over major overflow regions in global realistic configurations. The numerical representation of these areas is indeed known to be particularly sensitive to the vertical coordinate formulation. More generally, this work illustrates the typical methodology from the development to the validation of a new feature in the NEMO model.</p>

During the last five years, several methods have been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints using evolutionary algorithms (EAs) for numerical optimization problems. Recent survey papers classify these methods into four categories: preservation of feasibility, penalty functions, searching for feasibility, and other hybrids. In this paper we investigate a new approach for solving constrained numerical optimization problems which incorporates a homomorphous mapping between n-dimensional cube and a feasible search space. This approach constitutes an example of the fifth decoder-based category of constraint handling techniques. We demonstrate the power of this new approach on several test cases and discuss its further potential.
