We here employ the idea where we use different finite elements for the approximation of geometric variables (forms) describing an infinite-dimensional system, to spatially discretize the system and obtain a finite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian system.

In particular we take the example of a special case of the shallow water equations. A standard test set for numerical approximations to the shallow water equations in spherical geometry.

Journal of Computational Physics–]. Optimal rates of convergence for the P 1 NC - P 1 finite element pair are obtained, for both global and local quantities of interest. A least-squares finite-element method (LSFEM) for the non-conservative shallow-water equations is pre- sented.

Springer-Verlag, Corr. 2nd printing [Chapters 0,1,2,3; Chapter 4. The finite element method (FEM), or finite element analysis (FEA), is a computational technique used to obtain approximate solutions of boundary value problems in engineering. Boundary value problems are also called field problems.

The field is the domain of interest. CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Here we report on development of a high order nite element code for the solution of the shallow water equations on the massively parallel computer MP We have compared the parallel code to the one available on the Amdahl serial computer It is suggested that one uses a low order nite element to reap the benet of the.

The shallow water equations are a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations (or parabolic if viscous shear is considered) that describe the flow below a pressure surface in a fluid (sometimes, but not necessarily, a free surface).The shallow water equations in unidirectional form are also called Saint-Venant equations, after Adhémar Jean Claude Barré de Saint-Venant (see the related.

Galerkin finite-element techniques have been applied to the shallow-water equations by many Writers (see refer- ences ). llere we are concerned with the solution of tile evolu- tionary shallow-water equations for a limited-area domain on a fl-plane.

A Galerkin finite-element method (FEM) is employed. Abstract. In the chapter we consider a linearized system of shallow water equations.

Since this problem should be solved in domains being seas and oceans (or their parts), then solving this problem should use unstructured meshes to approximate domains under consideration properly. A wave-structure interaction model based on the least-squares finite-element formulation of the depth-averaged, nonlinear, non-conservative 2D shallow-water equations is developed.

Advantages of the model include: (1) a single approximating space can be used for all variables, and its choice of approximating space is not subject to the Ladyzhenskaya-Babuska-Brezzi (LBB) condition; (2) upwind. ilar techniques to the shallow water equations, e.g. Glaister [14] using nite di erences, or V azquez Cend on [31], with nite volumes.

The paper reports the current progress in developing a finite element method for the shallow water equations. The main feature of the method is the special care given to the advective and diffusive parts of the equations, so that it can be of interest to use it when dealing with flows strongly influenced by convective and boundary layer effects.
