A multiscale computational scheme is developed to use given small microscale simulations of complicated physical wave processes to empower macroscale system‐level predictions. By coupling small patches of simulations over unsimulated space, large savings in computational time are realizable. Here, we generalize the patch scheme to the case of wave systems on staggered grids in two‐dimensional (2D) space. Classic macroscale interpolation provides a generic coupling between patches that achieves consistency between the emergent macroscale simulation and the underlying microscale dynamics. Spectral analysis indicates that the resultant scheme empowers feasible computation of large macroscale simulations of wave systems even with complicated underlying physics. As an example of the scheme's application, we use it to simulate some simple scenarios of a given turbulent shallow water model.
The multiscale patch scheme is built from given small micro-scale simulations of complicated physical processes to empower large macroscale simulations. By coupling small patches of simulations over unsimulated spatial gaps, large savings in computational time are possible. Here we discuss generalising the patch scheme to the case of wave systems on staggered grids in 2D space. Classic macro-scale interpolation provides a generic coupling between patches that achieves arbitrarily high order consistency between the emergent macro-scale simulation and the underlying micro-scale dynamics. Eigen-analysis indicates that the resultant scheme empowers feasible computation of large macro-scale simulations of wave systems even with complicated underlying physics. As examples we use the scheme to simulate some wave scenarios via a turbulent shallow water model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
