Abstract

We show that combination of the Deforming-Spatial-Domain/Stabilized Space-Time and the Streamline-Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin formulations can be used quite effectively for computation of shallow-water flows with moving shorelines. The combined formulation is supplemented with a stabilization parameter that was originally introduced for compressible flows, a compressible-flow shock-capturing parameter adapted for shallow-water flows, and remeshing based on using a background mesh. We present a number of test computations and provide comparisons to theoretical results, experimental data and results computed with nonmoving meshes.
