Flow speeding up over a hump
A1F-041
#2 0.11 % off
of 12 models
• Average depth error 0.68 mm off; • Average flow error 0.00153 m²/s off

Within 0.7 mm with the SWASHES downstream condition (0.66 m held while the outflow is subcritical); three grids leave its convergence rate's range wide (0.69 to 1.14). With a free (transmissive) outflow instead, ANUGA settled on a fully subcritical state 1.06 m deep, 0.39 m off.

• Average depth error 0.25 mm off; • Average flow error 0.0002 m²/s off
Still lake around an island
A1F-043
#11 0.078 % off
of 13 models
• Worst velocity error < 0.0001 m/s off; • Average depth error 0.067 mm off

Nothing moves (velocities 1e-14 m/s). The worst depth difference, 1.7 mm, is in the cells cut by the shoreline, where a cell-mean depth on the sloping bump differs from the exact depth at the cell centre; that check is informational.
