The weak Lagrange-Galerkin finite element method for the 2D shallow water equations on the sphere is presented. This method offers stable and accurate solutions because the equations are integrated along the characteristics. The equations are written in 3D Cartesian conservation form and the domains

A semi-implicit finite difference model based on the three-dimensional shallow water equations is modified to use unstructured grids. There are obvious advantages in using unstructured grids in problems with a complicated geometry. In this development, the concept of unstructured orthogonal grids is
We present a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of the shallow water equations on the sphere. To overcome well-known problems with polar singularities, we consider the shallow water equations in Cartesian coordinates, augmented with a Lagrange multiplier to ensure that fluid p
A multigrid semi-implicit ®nite difference method is presented to solve the two-dimensional shallow water equations which describe the behaviour of basin water under the in¯uence of the Coriolis force, atmospheric pressure gradients and tides. The semi-implicit ®nite difference method discretizes im
A new symmetric formulation of the two-dimensional shallow water equations and a streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkm (SUPG) scheme are developed and tested. The symmetric formulation is constructed by means of a transformation of dependent variables derived fkom the relation for the total energy of the
