Two aspects are described on this page: Rasterization of the height sectors Piecewise linear reconstruction of the bottom.


Piecewise linear reconstruction of the bottom

The implementation of the Water Module is based on second-order semi-discrete central-upwind scheme by Kurganov and Petrova (2007)[1]. The surface elevation, also named bottom in the paper, is slightly adjusted to support the scheme to become well balanced and positivity preserving. The process of adjusting the original surface elevation is called piecewise linear reconstruction of the bottom.

In order to support the scheme to become well balanced and positivity preserving, each cell should have a constant linear slope. Secondly the end points of the slope should meet in the center of the cell's edges. This ensures that the bottom is continuous along cells in the x- and y- direction. Thirdly, the linear slope in the x- and y-direction within a cell should meet in a single center point.

To fulfill these requirements, the following steps are used:

  1. Pick or calculate the height points for the 4 corners of the cell.
  2. Form a rectangle with the 4 corners and calculate the centers of these edges. (These are the points that have to meet for continuity)
  3. Calculate a new center point based on the 4 edge center points.

Given that the adjacent cells share the same corner points, and thus share an edge center point, the bottom will be continuous in the x and y direction. Furthermore, the cell has an linear slope in both the x- and y-direction. The only down sight is that the new center point might have been placed height or lower in case the terrain 's slope was originally not linear within the cell.

Notes

  • The smaller the grid size, the more the bottom reconstruction will approximate the original surface elevation.
