Exploring physics-dynamics coupling using moist shallow water equations

Nell Hartney, Thomas M. Bendall, Jemma Shipton

One of the key choices for numerical models of geophysical fluids is how parametrisations of physical processes interact with the numerical methods that handle the resolved flow, k…

Splitting horizontal and vertical polynomial order in a compatible finite element discretisation for numerical weather prediction

Daniel Witt, Thomas Bendall, Jemma Shipton

The accurate and efficient representation of atmospheric dynamics remains a central challenge in numerical weather prediction. A particular difficulty arises from the strong anisot…

Fast-wave slow-wave spectral deferred correction methods applied to the compressible Euler equations

Alex Brown, Joscha Fregin, Thomas Bendall +3

This paper investigates the application of a fast-wave slow-wave spectral deferred correction time-stepping method (FWSW-SDC) to the compressible Euler equations. The resulting mod…

Exploring forms of the moist shallow water equations using a new compatible finite element discretisation

Nell Hartney, Thomas M. Bendall, Jemma Shipton

The moist shallow water equations offer a promising route for advancing understanding of the coupling of physical parametrisations and dynamics in numerical atmospheric models, an…

The effect of linear dispersive errors on nonlinear timestepping accuracy in the f-plane rotating shallow water equations

Timothy C. Andrews, Jemma Shipton, Beth A. Wingate

For simulations of time evolution problems, such as weather and climate models, taking the largest stable timestep is advantageous for reducing wall-clock time. A drawback of doing…

A compatible finite element discretisation for the nonhydrostatic vertical slice equations

C. J. Cotter, J. Shipton

We present a compatible finite element discretisation for the vertical slice compressible Euler equations, at next-to-lowest order (i.e., the pressure space is bilinear discontinuo…

A Compatible Finite Element Discretisation for the Moist Compressible Euler Equations

Thomas M. Bendall, Thomas H. Gibson, Jemma Shipton +2

We present new discretisation of the moist compressible Euler equations, using the compatible finite element framework identified in Cotter and Shipton (2012). The discretisation s…

The Recovered Space Advection Scheme for Lowest-Order Compatible Finite Element Methods

Thomas M. Bendall, Colin J. Cotter, Jemma Shipton

We present a new compatible finite element advection scheme for the compressible Euler equations. Unlike the discretisations described in Cotter and Kuzmin (2016) and Shipton et al…

Vertical slice modelling of nonlinear Eady waves using a compatible finite element method

Hiroe Yamazaki, Jemma Shipton, Michael J. P. Cullen +2

A vertical slice model is developed for the Euler-Boussinesq equations with a constant temperature gradient in the direction normal to the slice (the Eady-Boussinesq model). The mo…
