SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND

The shallow water (SW) equations play a critical role in modeling and simulation of coastal flows, capturing fundamental phenomena across different length and time scales. As an example we mention storm surges (due to hurricanes, typhoons) that inundate coastal regions, resulting in large scale destruction and loss of life. For geographical scales of interest it is generally necessary to model these flows using two-dimensional models such as the shallow water equations, rather than full three-dimensional fluid dynamics. Of particular interest are recent developments of modern algorithms which are specifically tailored for the one- and multi-layer shallow-equations. We intend to examine the ongoing research on shallow water equations; to identify promising avenues of further study; and to formulate a number of problems that are at once tractable and have potential to provide further insight into the nature of coastal flows.

GOALS

This workshop will bring together researchers from the applied mathematics, scientific computation, and engineering communities to discuss various aspects of

  • Applicability of single-layer SW equations to storm surge generation and propagation
  • Development and use of multi-layer SW models
  • Accurate coupling to atmosphere/ocean models, particularly via wind forcing
  • Numerical methods for the SW eqs: mesh refinement, constraint transport, well-balanced treatment of source terms, boundary conditions and time-integration
