Local well-posedness of a system coupling compressible atmospheric dynamics and a micro-physics model of moisture in air

We establish here the local-in-time well-posedness of strong solutions with large initial data to a system coupling compressible atmospheric dynamics with a refined moisture model introduced in Hittmeir and Klein (Theor. Comput. Fluid Dyn. 32:137--164, 2018). This micro-physics moisture model is a refinement of the one communicated by Klein and Majda (Theor. Comput. Fluid Dyn. 20:525--551, 2006), which serves as a foundation of multi-scale asymptotic expansions for moist deep convection in the atmosphere. Specifically, we show, in this paper, that the system of compressible Navier--Stokes equations coupled with the moisture dynamics is well-posed. In particular, the micro-physics of moisture model incorporates the phase changes of water in moist air.

A discontinuous Galerkin approach for atmospheric flows with implicit condensation

We present a discontinuous Galerkin method for moist atmospheric dynamics, with and without warm rain. By considering a combined density for water vapour and cloud water, we avoid the need to model and compute a source term for condensation. We recover the vapour and cloud densities by solving a pointwise non-linear problem each time step. Consequently, we enforce the requirement for the water vapour not to be supersaturated implicitly. Together with an explicit time-stepping scheme, the method is highly parallelisable and can utilise high-performance computing hardware. Furthermore, the discretisation works on structured and unstructured meshes in two and three spatial dimensions. We illustrate the performance of our approach using several test cases in two and three spatial dimensions. In the case of a smooth, exact solution, we illustrate the optimal higher-order convergence rates of the method.
