Implementation of a Second-Order TVD Transport Algorithm in the General Ocean Model (GOM) by Jungwoo Lee, Jun Lee, Sang-Leen Yun, Seog-Ku Kim

“…The results indicate that the TVD scheme marginally improves the resolution of salinity fronts while maintaining computational stability and efficiency. The implementation enables a flexible and straightforward transition between the first-order scheme, which is faster than the second-order scheme, and the second-order scheme, which is less diffusive than the first-order scheme, enhancing the GOM’s capability for realistic and efficient salinity simulations in a tidally driven estuarine system.…”
