AbstractThis study investigates impacts of altering subgrid-scale mixing in “convection-permitting” kilometer-scale horizontal-grid-spacing (Δh) simulations by applying either constant or stochastic multiplicative factors to the horizontal mixing coefficients within the Weather Research and Forecasting Model. In quasi-idealized 1-km Δh simulations of two observationally based squall-line cases, constant enhanced mixing produces larger updraft cores that are more dilute at upper levels, weakens the cold pool, rear-inflow jet, and front-to-rear flow of the squall line, and degrades the model’s effective resolution. Reducing mixing by a constant multiplicative factor has the opposite effect on all metrics. Completely turning off parameterized horizontal mixing produces bulk updraft statistics and squall-line mesoscale structure closest to an LES “benchmark” among all 1-km simulations, although the updraft cores are too undilute. The stochastic mixing scheme, which applies a multiplicative factor to the mixing coefficients that varies stochastically in time and space, is employed at 0.5-, 1-, and 2-km Δh. It generally reduces midlevel vertical velocities and enhances upper-level vertical velocities compared to simulations using the standard mixing scheme, with more substantial impacts at 1- and 2-km Δh compared to 0.5-km Δh. The stochastic scheme also increases updraft dilution to better agree with the LES for one case, but has less impact on the other case. Stochastic mixing acts to weaken the cold pool but without a significant impact on squall-line propagation. It also does not affect the model’s overall effective resolution unlike applying constant multiplicative factors to the mixing coefficients.

A numerical model based on the Saint-Venant equations (one-dimensional shallow water equations) is proposed to simulate shallow flows in an open channel with regular and irregular cross-section shapes. The Saint-Venant equations are solved by the finite-volume method based on Godunov-type framework with a modified Harten, Lax, and van Leer (HLL) approximate Riemann solver. Cross-sectional area is replaced by water surface level as one of primitive variables. Two numerical integral algorithms, compound trapezoidal and Gauss–Legendre integrations, are used to compute the hydrostatic pressure thrust term for natural streams with arbitrary and irregular cross-sections. The Monotonic Upstream-Centered Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL) and second-order Runge–Kutta methods is adopted to achieve second-order accuracy in space and time, respectively. The performance of the resulting scheme is evaluated by application in rectangular channels, trapezoidal channels, and a natural mountain river. The results are compared with analytical solutions and experimental or measured data. It is demonstrated that the numerical scheme can simulate shallow flows with arbitrary cross-section shapes in practical conditions.
