Abstract
A numerical model describing two-dimensional fluid motions has been developed on an unstructured grid system. By using a fractional step method, a two-dimensional problem governed by the two-dimensional shallow-water equations is treated as two one-dimensional problems. Thus it is possible to simulate two-dimensional numerical problems with a higher computational efficiency. One-dimensional problems are solved by using an upwind total variation diminishing version of the second-order weighted averaged flux method with an approximate Riemann solver. Numerical oscillations commonly observed in second-order numerical schemes are controlled by exploiting a flux limiter. For the general purpose, the model can simulate on an arbitrary topography, treat a moving boundary, and resolve a shock. Five ideal and practical problems are tested. Very accurate results are observed.
