This work deals with the numerical modeling of dam-break flow over erodible bed. The mathematical model consists of the shallow water equations, the transport diffusion and the bed morphology change equations. The system is solved by central upwind scheme. The obtained results of the resolution of dam-beak problem is presented in order to show the performance of the numerical scheme. Also a comparison of central upwind and Roe schemes is presented.

Central schemes offer a simple and versatile approach for computing approximate solutions of nonlinear systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. However, there are large numerical dissipation in case of contact discontinuity. We study semi-discrete central upwind scheme by changing flux functions to reduce the numerical dissipation and we perform numerical computations for various problems in case of contact discontinuity.

We develop in this work a new well-balanced preserving-positivity path-conservative central-upwind scheme for Saint-Venant-Exner (SVE) model. The SVE system (SVEs) under some considerations, is a nonconservative hyperbolic system of nonlinear partial differential equations. This model is widely used in coastal engineering to simulate the interaction of fluid flow with sediment beds. It is well known that SVEs requires a robust treatment of nonconservative terms. Some efficient numerical schemes have been proposed to overcome the difficulties related to these terms. However, the main drawbacks of these schemes are what follows: (i) Lack of robustness, (ii) Generation of non-physical diffusions, (iii) Presence of instabilities within numerical solutions. This collection of drawbacks weakens the efficiency of most numerical methods proposed in the literature. To overcome these drawbacks a reformulation of the central-upwind scheme for SVEs (CU-SVEs for short) in a path-conservative version is presented in this work. We first develop a finite-volume method of the first order and then extend it to the second order via the averaging essentially non oscillatory (AENO) framework. Our numerical approach is shown to be well-balanced positivity-preserving and shock-capturing. The resulting scheme could be seen as a predictor-corrector method. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed scheme are assessed through a carefully selected suite of tests.

The paper discusses the problem of the flow over the backward facing step and the offset jet, which are calculated numerically. Standard k- .epsilon. model and its LPS modification are used as turbulence models. Hybrid central/upwind scheme and skew- upwind scheme are used as numerical schemes. The numerical scheme has a strong influence on the offset jet rather than the flow over backward facing step. The skew-upwind scheme gives good results in both cases. However, the k- .epsilon. model with LPS modification yields no remarkable improvements in the predictions of both flows. The skew-upwind scheme improves the prediction of reattachment length in the offset jet.

The semi-discrete central scheme and central upwind scheme use Runge-Kutta (RK) time discretization. We do the Lax-Wendroff (LW) type time discretization for both schemes. We perform numerical experiments for various problems including two dimensional Riemann problems for Burgers' equation and Euler equations. The results show that the LW time discretization is more efficient in CPU time than the RK time discretization while maintaining the same order of accuracy.

The existing numerical approximations of convection flux, especially the spatial higher-order difference schemes, in unstructured cell-centered finite volume methods are examined in detail with each other and evaluated with respect to the accuracy through their application to a 2-D benchmark problem. Six higher-order schemes are examined, which include two second-order upwind schemes, two central difference schemes and two hybrid schemes. It is found that the 2nd-order upwind scheme by Mathur and Murthy(1997) and the central difference scheme by Demirdzic and Muzaferija(1995) have more accurate prediction performance than the other higher-order schemes used in unstructured cell-centered finite volume methods.

A second-order upwind scheme is used to investigate the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea and the predicted results are compared with the field data and results of a first-order upwind scheme. In the numerical model, the governing equations solved by the finite difference scheme are the linear shallow-water equations in deep water and nonlinear shallow-water equations in shallow water. The target events are 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami and 1993 Hokkaido Nansei Oki Tsunami. The predicted results represent reasonably well the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea. And, the results of simulation are used for the design of inundation map.

In this study, the numerical model for simulation of tsunamis is constructed by using the dispersion-correction scheme, 2nd upwind scheme, dynamic linking method, and so forth. The composed numerical model is used to simulate a hitorical tsunami event. The target tsunami event is the 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami. And, the predicted run-up heights of the tsunami at Imwon port are very reasonable compared to available observed data.

Numerical schemes for spacing and time are tested to accurately simulate the wave propagation. The tested numerical schemesinclude 2nd-order central differencing, l-order upwind scheme, 2nd-order Leith scheme, 3rd-order MUSCLE, QUICK and QUICKEST schemes in spacing and the Euler and 4th-order Runge-Kutta(R-K) schemes in time. It is seen that more accurate results are expected when the higher-order schemes, especially the schemes combined with a TVD control limiter, are used for solving the wave equation. The 3rd-order upwind scheme with limiter and the 4th-order R-K scheme in tim￡ are finally applied to the wave-making simulation in a digital wave tank.

High-order weighted difference schemes with uniform meshes are considered for the convection-diffusion problem depending on Reynolds numbers. For small Reynolds numbers, a weighed cen-tral difference scheme is suggested since there is no boundary layer. For large Reynolds numbers, we propose a modified up wind method with an artificial diffusion in order to overcome nonphysical oscilla-tion of central schemes and obtain good accuracy in the boundary later. Existence and corresponding error estimates of the solution for the difference scheme have been shown. Numerical experiments are provided to back up the analysis.
