Optimum Scheme of Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Tsunami Simulation
TLDR
This study applied the Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) method for calculation of long wave propagations, and the different mesh refinement schemes were applied and optimized by a series of numerical experiments.
An Implementation of Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Shallow Water Equations
TLDR
An implementation of adaptive mesh refinement algorithms is presented for use with multilayer shallow water equations, which have been implemented in GeoClaw previously but were too computationally expensive to run on large domains while resolving detail in coastal regions.
IMPACTS ON STORM SURGE USING ADAPTIVE MESH REFINEMENT
Coastal hazard assessment and mitigation requires a thorough understanding of extreme events such as severe storm surge. Limited observations and a changing climate pose an additional challenges for…

An adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method for the simulation of hurricane storm surge
TLDR
A DG storm surge model on a triangular and dynamically adaptive mesh driven by physics-based refinement indicators capturing major model sensitivities is developed which shows the model’s potential for use as a robust simulation tool for real-time predictions.
Accelerating an Adaptive Mesh Refinement Code for Depth‐Averaged Flows Using GPUs
TLDR
An efficient CUDA implementation of GeoClaw, an open source Godunov‐type high‐resolution finite volume numerical scheme on adaptive grids for shallow water system with varying topography, is presented, which implements a simplified dimensionally split version of the algorithms.
Validation of the FAST forecast model for the storm surges due to hurricanes Wilma and Ike
TLDR
This paper validates the FAST model by conducting numerical simulations of the storm surges due to hurricanes Wilma on Lake Okeechobee and Ike in the Gulf of Mexico and shows that, with sufficient computational resource, low runtimes are possible for real-world surge simulations.
Storm Surge Modeling as an Application of Local Time-stepping in MPAS-Ocean
This paper presents the first scientific application of local time-stepping (LTS) schemes in the Model for Prediction Across Scales-Ocean (MPAS-O). We use LTS schemes in a single-layer, global ocean…

An adaptive mesh refinement algorithm developed for the Euler equations of gas dynamics has been extended to employ high-resolution wave-propagation algorithms in a more general framework, including hyperbolic equations not in conservation form, problems with source terms or capacity functions, and logically rectangular curvilinear grids.
