Abstract

We present an X10 software package for the solution of the shallow water equations, a set of equations commonly used to simulate tsunami and flooding events. The software uses an actor-oriented approach to obtain a communication scheme that does not rely on central coordination. Instead, each actor only communicates with its neighbors. We evaluated the package via scaling tests on single-place shared memory as well as multi-place distributed memory system configurations, and found it to perform comparably to prior implementations based on C++, OpenMP and MPI.

Positivity-Preserving Well-Balanced Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for the Shallow Water Equations on Unstructured Triangular Meshes

The shallow water equations model flows in rivers and coastal areas and have wide applications in ocean, hydraulic engineering, and atmospheric modeling. In "Xing et al. Adv. Water Resourc. 33: 1476---1493, 2010 )", the authors constructed high order ...
High-order well-balanced and positivity-preserving finite-difference AWENO scheme with hydrostatic reconstruction for shallow water equations
Abstract
The shallow water equations (SWEs) admit still water steady-state solutions in which the flux gradients are exactly balanced by the source term. Furthermore, the no-water dry areas make the numerical simulation of the SWEs more ...
Prediction of shallow water flows over dry beds

Numerical results are presented and compared for four conservative upwind difference schemes for the shallow water equations when applied to a severe dam-break problem that generates supercritical flow over a bed of decreasing depth. A comparison is ...
