✦ Synopsis

This paper describes the development and testing of a 3D finite difference code written specifically to model turbulence in an open channel with a moving free surface. The code has been developed so that either a full simulation or a large eddy simulation (LES) of the turbulence may be performed. The free surface may undergo arbitrarily large deformations but the slope may not exceed a limit related to the aspect ratio of the mesh and so the possibility of breaking waves is excluded. The LES application demands numerical approximations which conserve mass, momentum, and total energy with high precision, and it permits wave motion with very little numerical dispersion or dissipation. We describe a novel numerical method for tracking the free surface using a split-merge technique which combines the volume of fluid and height function methods in a way that is conservative. 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

A new simulation code using the hybrid approximation for modeling extraterrestrial plasma processes is described, which can be used in an arbitrary threedimensional, ordered, hexahedral grid. Maxwell's equations are transformed using common tensor analysis and solved by a finite differencing scheme.

In this paper an approach to multidimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) which correctly handles shocks but does not use an approximate Riemann solver is proposed. This approach is simple and is based on control volume averaging with a staggered grid. The method builds on the older and often overloo
