Performance of Adaptive Unstructured Mesh Modelling in Idealized Advection Cases over Steep Terrains

Advection errors are common in basic terrain-following (TF) coordinates. Numerous methods, including the hybrid TF coordinate and smoothing vertical layers, have been proposed to reduce the advection errors. Advection errors are affected by the directions of velocity fields and the complexity of the...
