Problem

Lynch and Gray (1978) presented the analytical solution for depth-averaged long-wave propagation in am annular domain. Here the case tested with a linearly sloping bed, and without bottom friction, Coriolis, or horizontal mixing. The offshore boundary consists of an single tidal constituent. Table 1 summarizes the important model settings used for this test.

Model Setup

Figure 1. Quarter Annulus

The computational domain (Figure 1) consists of a three-level telescoping Cartesian grid with a grid resolution of 4, 2, and 1 km for each level. Higher resolution is specified near the inner and outer boundaries in order to reduce errors associated with the representation of the curved boundaries with squares. The computational grid is shown in Figure 1. The grid has 1,160 active ocean cells. The important model settings are shown in Table 2.

Ramp period 24 hrs
Advection terms Off

Wall friction Off

Results

Figure 2. Comparison of analytical (solid black) and calculated (red dots) water surface elevation at the center of the inner radius.

Figure 2 shows a time series of water levels at the inner edge of the model domain. The goodness of fit statistics are listed in Table 3. The model accurately predicts the wave phase but slightly overestimates the amplitude by approximately 0.01 m. No significant numerical dissipation is observed or numerical instabilities. The simulation takes about 52 seconds on a PC and a single processor.

NRMAE 2.7 %
R^2 0.999
Bias 0.002 m
