Mesh adaptation for coastal ocean modelling in Thetis

Severn estuary

A tidal barrage is set in the Swansea Bay. Simulation of the full estuary is necessary to capture accurately the full tidal patterns.

Idealized estuary

Sinusoidal elevation is prescribed on the open boundary (half circle). Turbines can be placed in the channel.

Advected bubble in 2D and 3D

This test case was used to validate our mesh adaptation implementation in Firedrake.

Moving-mesh adaptation

Ejection of the door of an overpressured aircraft FSI simulation


Example of Fluid-Structure Interaction simulation: the door of an overpressured aircraft is ejected from the cabin.
