A flux-vector splitting scheme for the shallow water equations extended to high-order on unstructured meshes

E. F. Toro, C. Castro, D. Vanzo +1

We present an advection-pressure flux-vector splitting method for the one and two- dimensional shallow water equations following the approach first proposed by Toro and Vázquez for…

BASEMENT v3: a modular freeware for river process modelling over multiple computational backends

Davide Vanzo, Samuel Peter, Lukas Vonwiller +5

Modelling river physical processes is of critical importance for flood protection, river management and restoration of riverine environments. Developments in algorithms and computa…

A splitting scheme for the coupled Saint-Venant-Exner model

Annunziato Siviglia, Davide Vanzo, Eleuterio F. Toro

We present a splitting method for the one-dimensional Saint-Venant-Exner equations used for describing the bed evolution in shallow water systems. We adapt the flux vector splittin…

Mathematical study of linear morphodynamic acceleration and derivation of the MASSPEED approach

Francesco Carraro, Davide Vanzo, Valerio Caleffi +2

Morphological accelerators, such as the MORFAC (MORphological acceleration FACtor) approach, are widely adopted techniques for the acceleration of the bed evolution, which reduces…

Icequakes coupled with surface displacements for predicting glacier break-off

Jerome Faillettaz, Didier Sornette, Martin Funk

A hanging glacier at the east face of Weisshorn (Switzerland) broke off in 2005. We were able to monitor and measure surface motion and icequake activity for 25 days up to three da…

Computing the first eigenpair of the p-Laplacian via inverse iteration of sublinear supersolutions

Rodney Josué Biezuner, Grey Ercole, Eder Marinho Martins

We introduce an iterative method for computing the first eigenpair for the -Laplacian operator with homogeneous Dirichlet data as the limit of a…

Gravity-driven instabilities: interplay between state-and-velocity dependent frictional sliding and stress corrosion damage cracking

Jerome Faillettaz, Didier Sornette, Martin Funk

We model the progressive maturation of a heterogeneous mass towards a gravity-driven instability, characterized by the competition between frictional sliding and tension cracking,…

The shallow shelf approximation as a "sliding law" in a thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model

Ed Bueler, Jed Brown

The shallow shelf approximation is a better ``sliding law'' for ice sheet modeling than those sliding laws in which basal velocity is a function of driving stress. The shallow shel…
