EP53B:
Modeling Earth Surface Processes Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Across Scales I eLightning
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 62798
Session Description:
A wide spectrum of temporospatial scales is embedded in the dynamics of earth surface processes, e.g., the movement of fluids, sediment, ice, and solutes, and the resulted landscape evolution. The modeling of these processes requires a multi-scale approach. From a sand grain to global scales, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a vital tool for our understanding of the underpinning mechanisms and their interactions. CFD has been applied to understand processes relevant to geomorphology and earth surface dynamics. In addition, it has been increasingly utilized to assess the impact of geophysical processes on society, such as the impact of hurricanes, storm surges, tsunamis, debris flows, and landslides. One of the grand challenges is to effectively integrate key processes of different scales through parameterizations, model coupling, adaptive mesh refinement, and assimilative methodology. This session welcomes contributions from researchers who use CFD or relevant computational models to tackle earth surface process problems.
