Accurate modelling of shallow water flows in canals for realistic scenarios cannot neglect the variations of the size and shape of the cross-section along the canal. In typical situations, especially in view of applications to flows in networks of canals, a 2D model would be too costly, while the standard 1D Saint-Venant model for a rectangular channel with constant breadth would be too coarse. In this paper we derive efficient, high order accurate and robust numerical schemes for a 1.5D model, in which the canal can have an arbitrary cross-section: the shape can vary along the channel and is described by a depth-dependent breadth function σ(x,z), where x is the coordinate along the channel and z represents the vertical direction. Contrary to all previous schemes for this model, we reformulate the equations in a way that avoids the appearance of the moments of σ and of ∂σ/∂x in the source terms. Our numerical schemes are based on the path-conservative approach for dealing with non-conservative products, are well-balanced on the lake at rest solution and can treat wet-try transitions. They can be implemented with any order of accuracy. Schemes up to third order are explicitly constructed and tested, thanks to the CWENO reconstruction technique. Through a large set of numerical tests we show the performance of the new schemes and compare the results obtained with different orders of accuracy.

Abstract
Accurate modelling of shallow water flows in canals for realistic scenarios cannot neglect the variations of the size and shape of the cross-section along the canal. In typical situations, especially in view of applications to flows in networks of canals, a 2D model would be too costly, while the standard 1D Saint-Venant model for a rectangular channel with constant breadth would be too coarse. In this paper we derive efficient, high order accurate and robust numerical schemes for a 1.5D model, in which the canal can have an arbitrary cross-section: the shape can vary along the channel and is described by a depth-dependent breadth function σ(x,z), where x is the coordinate along the channel and z represents the vertical direction. Contrary to all previous schemes for this model, we reformulate the equations in a way that avoids the appearance of the moments of σ and of ∂σ/∂x in the source terms. Our numerical schemes are based on the path-conservative approach for dealing with non-conservative products, are well-balanced on the lake at rest solution and can treat wet-try transitions. They can be implemented with any order of accuracy. Schemes up to third order are explicitly constructed and tested, thanks to the CWENO reconstruction technique. Through a large set of numerical tests we show the performance of the new schemes and compare the results obtained with different orders of accuracy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
