NUMO Lab – Numerical Modeling Lab

The NUMO Lab develops advanced computational methods for simulating complex geophysical systems, with a focus on ocean dynamics. We combine high-order numerical methods, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), machine learning, and high-performance computing to resolve multiscale phenomena.

Research Highlights

Sea surface height contour plot for double-gyre test case
High-order ocean modeling using Galerkin methods

Discontinuous Galerkin methods for accurate and flexible simulation of hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic ocean dynamics.
