Wetting and Drying in HYCOM
Objectives of the Research
Validate a wetting and drying scheme in HYCOM by comparison with analytical and other numerical solution
Show that the scheme is well implemented in HYCOM
Abstract
This study focuses on modeling a sloshing water in a bowl configuration of HYCOM.
Comparison with analytical solution are made. These solutions are given by Thacker (1981). The Wetting And Drying (WAD) scheme in HYCOM has been developed by
Baraille. Recently, Morel et al. have also been studying and validate this scheme in HYCOM for different cases. We also show that the model well represent
this adjustement in terms of period of the oscillation and amplitudes. Numerical dissipation will force the sloshing water to be stable after 31 days approximately. The
same configuration is done with the finite volume model FVCOM used at COAPS by Dukhovsoy (see below).
Details are given on the final report of Sebastien Denneulin.
