Abstract:
The CABARET scheme is used for the numerical solution of the one-dimensional shallow water equations over a rough bottom. The scheme involves conservative and flux variables, whose values at a new time level are calculated by applying the characteristic properties of the shallow water equations. The scheme is verified using a series of test and model problems.
Key words:system of hyperbolic equations, shallow water equations over a rough bottom, numerical methods, balance-characteristic scheme, CABARET scheme.
