Projects

Core aspects and therefore ongoing projects of the work of Numerical Methods in Geosciences members are

• Adaptive Multi-Scale Methods
• Numerical Methods in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
• Efficient Algorithms for High Performance Computing Devices

Working group members are also currently involved in projects with external or internal funding, for example

• Cluster of Excellence Climate, Climatic Change and Society (CLICCS), Project A3 Canopies in the Earth System, funded by DFG (H. Patel, J. Behrens)
• Accelerating Global science In Tsunami HAzard and Risk analysis – AGITHAR, funded by COST (J. Behrens)
• Advanced Simulation of Coupled Earthquake and Tsunami Events – ASCETE, funded by Volkswagen Foundation (J. Behrens)
• From Last Interglacial to the Anthropocene: Modeling a Complete Glacial Cycle – PalMod, funded by BMBF (Y. Chen, K. Simon, A. Sunkisala, J. Behrens)
• Adaptive volcanic modeling using discontinuous Galerkin methods (M. Bänsch, J. Behrens)
• Adaptive Mesh generation for Atmosphere and Ocean Simulation – amatos (J. Behrens)

Several projects have been completed successfully by (former) members of the group. These are listed to give an overview of the topics covered.

• Assessment Strategy And Risk Reduction of Tsunamis in Europe – ASTARTE, funded by EU (N. Beisiegel, A. Jeschke, J. Behrens, 2018)
• Goal-oriented adaptive meshing in transient multi-scale flows (S. Beckers, J. Behrens, W. Wollner, 2017)
• Covariant equations of geophysical fluid dynamics and their structure-preserving discretization (W. Bauer, 2015)
• Adaptive DG methods for simulation of inundation events (N. Beisiegel, J. Behrens, 2015)
• High-order finite volumes for tsunami modeling (C.E. Castro, 2014)
• DFG priority program Metström: Adaptive LES of mixing at cloud boundaries (O. Kunst, J. Behrens, 2014)
• Adaptive finite element method for tsunami modeling: TsunaFLASH (W.S. Pranowo, J. Behrens, 2010)
