Title

Discontinuous Galerkin methods for coastal ocean applications

Abstract

Flow and transport in the coastal ocean are described by coupled hydrodynamic systems describing currents, water levels, waves and atmosphere-ocean coupling. In addition, ocean circulation models can be used to drive transport models of, e.g., hydrocarbons in the coastal environment. In this talk, we will describe a discontinuous Galerkin framework for solving coupled systems arising in coastal ocean applications. DG methods have proven to be accurate at modeling coastal ocean physics, we will also discuss local time stepping methods aimed at improving the efficiency of DG methods.
