Abstract

The depth-integrated shallow water equations are frequently used for simulating geophysical flows, such as storm-surges, tsunamis and river flooding. In this paper a parallel shallow water solver using an unstructured high-order discontinuous Galerkin method is presented. The spatial discretization of the model is based on the Nektar++ spectral/hp library and the model is numerically shown to exhibit the expected exponential convergence. The parallelism of the model has been achieved within the Cactus Framework. The model has so far been executed successfully on up to 128 cores and it is shown that both weak and strong scaling are largely independent of the spatial order of the scheme. Results are also presented for the wave flume interaction with five upright cylinders. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
