The computational efficiency of the GPU scheme is analyzed by a series of numerical experiments, including an ideal case and the field scale simulations, performed on the workstation and the super- computer system. The calculated results show that the speedup of the developed GPU-based parallel computing scheme, compared to the implementation on a single CPU core, increases with the number of computational grid cells, and the speedup can increase quasi- linearly with respect to the number of involved GPUs for the problem with relatively large number of grid cells within 32 GPUs.展开更多

With the linear theoretical model, a rectangle shape wave is generated and propagates back and forth in the domain, while a two-dimensional non-hydrostatic numerical model could reproduce all the observed phenomena in the laboratory experiments conducted by Chen et al. （2007）, and the related process realistically. The model results further provide more quantitative information in the whole domain, thus allowing an in depth understanding of the corresponding internal solitary wave generation and propagation. It is shown that the initial type of the internal wave is determined by the relative height between the perturbation and the environmental density interface, while the final wave type is related to the relative height of the upper and lower layers of the environmental fluid. The shape of the internal wave generated is consistent with that predicted by the KdV and EKdV theories if its amplitude is small, as the amplitude becomes larger, the performance of the EKdV becomes better after the wave adjusts itself to the ambient stratification and reaches an equilibrium state between the nonlinear and dispersion effects. The evolution of the mechanical energy is also analyzed.展开更多
