Benefits of using a Wendland Kernel for free-surface flows

The aim of this paper Is lo discuss the influence of the selection of the interpolation kernel in the accuracy of the modeling of the internal viscous dissipation in Tree surface Hows, Simulations corresponding to a standing wave* for which an analytic solution available, are presented. Wendland and renormalized Gaussian kernels are considered. The differences in the flow pattern* and Internal dissipation mechanisms are documented for a range of Reynolds numbers. It is shown that the simulations with Wendland kernels replicate the dissipation mechanisms more accurately than those with a renormalized Gaussian kernel. Although some explanations are hinted we have Tailed to clarify which the core structural reasons for Mich differences are*

Toward a climate-dependent paradigm of ammonia emission & deposition.

Existing descriptions of bi-directional ammonia (NH3) land–atmosphere exchange incorporate temperature and moisture controls, and are beginning to be used in regional chemical transport models. However, such models have typically applied simpler emission factors to upscale the main NH3 emission terms. While this approach has successfully simulated the main spatial patterns on local to global scales, it fails to address the environment- and climate-dependence of emissions. To handle these issues, we outline the basis for a new modelling paradigm where both NH3 emissions and deposition are calculated online according to diurnal, seasonal and spatial differences in meteorology. We show how measurements reveal a strong, but complex pattern of climatic dependence, which is increasingly being characterized using ground-based NH3 monitoring and satellite observations, while advances in process-based modelling are illustrated for agricultural and natural sources, including a global application for seabird colonies. A future architecture for NH3 emission–deposition modelling is proposed that integrates the spatio-temporal interactions, and provides the necessary foundation to assess the consequences of climate change. Based on available measurements, a first empirical estimate suggests that 5°C warming would increase emissions by 42 per cent (28–67%). Together with increased anthropogenic activity, global NH3 emissions may increase from 65 (45–85) Tg N in 2008 to reach 132 (89–179) Tg by 2100.
