A Parallel Implementation of Three-Dimensional, Lagrangian Shallow Water Equations
2008
Hartig, Daniel D.
This project developed fluid circulation models for the two- and three-dimensional Lagrangian shallow water equations. There were two stages to this development: in the first, the two-dimensional shallow water equations were transformed from first principles of oceanography into a serial implementation in MATLAB. In the second part, a serial implementation of the three-dimensional shallow water equations, developed by Dr. James Greenberg, was modified to run in parallel on many nodes of a computing cluster. There are two deliverable products from this project. First, there is a serial two-dimensional model of fluid circulation that takes into account many different user-designated initial conditions and can be useful for determining how well the mathematics of this model can approximate physical phenomena. Secondly, this project produced a three-dimensional parallel model that serves as a proof of concept for future development of more advanced parallel models.
