✦ Synopsis

In this article, we propose a mixed variational formulation for the streamfunction vorticity potential form for the two-layer quasi-geostrophic model of the ocean. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the mixed variational problem.

## Abstract We consider the problem of the evolution of sharp fronts for the surface quasi‐geostrophic (QG) equation. This problem is the analogue to the vortex patch problem for the two‐dimensional Euler equation. The special interest of the quasi‐geostrophic equation lies in its strong similarit

The paper compares two dierent two-grid ®nite element formulations applied to the Navier±Stokes equations, namely a multigrid and a mixed or composite formulation. In the latter case the pressure is interpolated on a coarser grid than the velocity, using mixed elements instead of mixed interpolation

An iterative adaptive equation solver for solving the implicit Stokes equations simultaneously with hi-tree grid generation is developed. The tri-tree grid generator builds a hierarchical grid structure which is mapped to a finite element grid at each hierarchical level. For each hierarchical fiNte

A novel velocity-vorticity formulation of the unsteady, three-dimensional, Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The formulation is particularly suitable for simulating the evolution of three-dimensional disturbances in boundary layers. A key advantage is that there are only three governing equation
