Adaptive mesh refinement for three-dimensional off-line tracer advection over the sphere

摘要

This paper describes briefly the application of a WAF-type finite volume scheme and a standard Cartesian adaptive mesh refinement algorithm to three-dimensional tracer advection over the sphere. Some preliminary results are shown for standard, simple test cases in two and three dimensions which illustrate the effectiveness of the WAF scheme and the improvement in efficiency obtained by the adaptive meshing.
