✦ Synopsis
A spectral collocation method is used to solve an atmospheric gravity wave simulation problem, modelled by the non-linear, inviscid, twodimensional Euler equations including gravity. The non-linear transfer of energy to higher frequencies will destroy the long-time calculations if no energy dissipation mechanism is introduced in the numerical method. The spectral viscosity method is applied for this purpose, and we discuss implementation aspects, effects on the resulting system of ordinary differential equations, tuning of parameters, and evaluation of results. An implementation is found that works well also for larger simulations, and guidelines for the application of the method are given. 'c: 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract The advantage of the multicanonical (MUCA) simulation method of Berg and coworkers over the conventional Metropolis method is in its ability to move a system effectively across energy barriers thereby providing results for a wide range of temperatures. However, a MUCA simulation is base
A numerical method for the simulation of elastic wave propagation is presented. Some important practical requirements for ®nite dierence methods are formulated. To satisfy these requirements, the proposed method is based on two key features. Firstly, the approximate solution is represented as a set
