Description
Summary:In this work, we are concerned with the study and computing of stabilized radial basis function-generated finite difference (RBF-FD) approximations for shallow-water equations. In order to obtain both stable and highly accurate numerical approximations of convection-dominated shallow-water equations, we use stabilized flat Gaussians (RBFSGA-FD) and polyharmonic splines with supplementary polynomials (RBFPHS-FD) as basis functions, combined with modified method of characteristics. These techniques are combined with careful design for the spatial derivative operators in the momentum flux equation, according to a general criterion for the exact preservation of the “lake at rest” solution in general mesh-based and meshless numerical schemes for the strong form of the shallow-water equations with bottom topography. Both structured and unsructured point clouds are employed for evaluating the influence of cloud refinement, size of local supports and maximal permissible degree of the polynomials in RBFPHS-FD.
