Abstract
A simple explanation is given of the occurrence of wiggles in the flow field near outflow boundaries. If the shallowβwater equations are solved numerically spurious solutions with an oscillatory character turn out to exist, which can be generated by certain additional numerical boundary conditions on the downstream side. The wiggles usually damp quickly with the distance from the boundary. Some ways of handling the downstream boundary are given which largely avoid the occurrence of wiggles.

In order to facilitate numerical simulations of plasma phenomena where kinetic processes are important, we have studied the technique of Fourier transforming the Vlasov equation analytically in velocity space, and solving the resulting equation numerically. Particular attention has been paid to the
In coastal oceanography there is interest in problems modeled by the shallow water equations, where variations in channel depth are accounted for by the presence of source terms. A numerical treatment for the solution of such problems is presented here, in terms of a hybrid approach, which combines
The present paper makes use of a wave equation formulation of the primitive shallow water equations to simulate one-dimensional free surface flow. A numerical formulation of the boundary element method is then developed to solve the wave continuity equation using a time-dependent fundamental solutio
