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.
