In this paper, adaptive algorithms for time and space discretizations are added to an existing solution method previously applied to the Venice Lagoon Tidal Circulation problem. An analysis of the interactions between space and time discretizations adaptation algorithms is presented. In particular,

✦ Synopsis
Two time accurate local time stepping (LTS) strategies originally developed for the Euler equations are presented and applied to the unsteady shallow water equations of open channel ow. Using the techniques presented allows individual cells to be advanced to di erent points in time, in a time accurate fashion. The methods shown are incorporated into an explicit ÿnite volume version of Roe's scheme which is implemented in conjunction with an upwind treatment for the source terms. A comparison is made between the results obtained using the conventional time stepping approach and the two LTS methods through a series of test cases. The results illustrate a number of beneÿts of using LTS which included reduced run times and improved solution accuracy. In addition it is shown how using an upwind source term treatment can be beneÿcial for ows dominated by the geometry.

## Abstract We present a new space–time SUPG formulation of the shallow‐water equations. In this formulation, we use a stabilization parameter that was introduced for compressible flows and a new shock‐capturing parameter. In the context of two test problems, we evaluate the performance of the new
The shallow water equations in spherical geometry provide a prototype for developing and testing numerical algorithms for atmospheric circulation models. In a previous paper we have studied a spatial discretization of these equations based on an Osher-type finite-volume method on stereographic and l
