ECMWF 1 st EULAG workshop 2008 Slide 34 Numerical realisability  Lower horizontal resolution results in increasing period (~16 points per horizontal wavelength still overestimates the period by 20-30%)  Lower vertical resolution results in decreasing period and earlier onset of flow reversal as dynamic or convective instabilities develop instantly rather than previously described wave-wave mean flow interaction (need ~10-15 points per vertical wavelength, <5 no oscillation observed)  First or second order accurate (e.g. rapid mean flow reversals with 1 st order upwind scheme)  A low accuracy of pressure solver may result in spurious tendencies with a magnitude similar to physical buoyancy perturbations and are due to the truncation error of the Eulerian scheme; equally explicit vs. implicit formulation of the thermodynamic equation results in distorted longer mean flow oscillation (explicit may be improved by increasing the vertical resolution)  Choice of advection scheme (flux-form Eulerian more accurate)  Upper boundaries and stratification changes (may catalyze the onset of flow reversal; also in 2D Boussinesq experiments due to wave reflection, in atmospheric conditions also changing wave momentum flux with non- Boussinesq amplification of gravity waves) Influence on the period and the vertical extent of the resulting zonal mean zonal flow changes

ECMWF 1 st EULAG workshop 2008 Slide 49 Final comments  Herein some possibilities have been illustrated with time- dependent coordinate transformations in horizontal and vertical directions and its accuracy in wave-driven flows.  Applications include two and three dimensions for laboratory scale, meso-scale and global-scale simulations in Cartesian, cylindrical or spherical geometry.  There are many more interesting applications from moving sand dunes to stellar applications as illustrated in previous and forthcoming talks.
