Modeling orographic flows on unstructured meshes Piotr Smolarkiewicz, National Center for Atmospheric Research*, USA; Joanna Szmelter, Loughborough University, United Kingdom * The National Center for Atmospheric Research is supported by the National Science Foundation

NCAR The twofold aim of this talk : highlight the progress with the development of a nonhydrostatic, soundproof, unstructured-mesh model for atmospheric flows; assess the accuracy of unstructured-mesh discretization relative to established structured-grid methods for orographic flows;

NCAR EULAG’s key features ( A suit of governing PDEs; numerical laboratory Conservative, nonoscillatory, forward in time (NFT) semi- implicit numerics Robust elliptic solver; “exact projection” Static /dynamic grid stretching with 2nd order accuracy Cloud cover and precipitation over the Alps Gray and blue volumes denote cloud water and rainfall, respectively.

NCAR Unstructured-mesh framework for atmospheric flows Smolarkiewicz  Szmelter, pubs in JCP, IJNMF,Comp. Fluids, Differential manifolds formulation Finite-volume NFT numerics with a fully unstructured spatial discretization, heritage of EULAG and its predecessors (A = MPDATA) Focus (so far) on wave phenomena across a range of scales and Mach, Froude & Rossby numbers 

NCAR The edge-based discretisation Edges Dual mesh, finite volumes

NCAR Nonhydrostatic Boussinesq mountain wave Szmelter & Smolarkiewicz, Comp. Fluids, 2011 Comparison with the EULAG’s results and the linear theories (Smith 1979, Durran 2003): 3% in wavelength; 8% in propagation angle; wave amplitude loss 7% over 7 wavelenghts NL/U o = 2.4

NCAR For [anelastic, pseudo-incompressible]: Soundproof generalizations Smolarkiewicz & Szmelter, Acta Geophysica, 2011

NCAR Numerics: 

NCAR Non-Boussinesq amplification and breaking of deep stratospheric gravity wave Prusa et al., JAS 1996; Smolarkiewicz & Margolin, Atmos. Ocean,1997; Klein, Ann. Rev. Fluid Dyn., 2010 NL/U o ≈ 1, Fr ≈ 1.6; o = 2  km  H ρ  A(H/2)=10h o = o isothermal reference profiles ; H θ = 3.5 H ρ t=1h t=1.5h t=2h EULAG “reference” solution using terrain-following  coordinates

NCAR unstructured-mesh “EULAG” solution, using mesh (left) mimicking terrain-following coordinates, and (right) a fully unstructured mesh t=1.5h Pseudo-incmpressible equations (Durran 1989) Anelastic equations (Lipps & Hemler 1982, Lipps 1990)

NCAR H θ  H ρ (RE: Achatz et al., JFM, 2010) t=0.75h ln θ

NCAR A global hydrostatic sound-proof model Isentropic model: Isosteric/isopycninc model:  = ρ -1,  =p, M ≡ gh +  (Szmelter & Smolarkiewicz, J. Comput. Phys. 2010)

NCAR Conclusions: Unstructured-mesh discretization sustains the accuracy of structured-grid discretization and offers full flexibility in spatial resolution. Future atmospheric models may blend structured/unstructured discretization techniques.
