DOUBLE_GRIDNESTING

Case description

Two-domain double grid nesting coupling case. This test verifies the coupling between two grids with different horizontal resolutions, where the second domain inherits from the first one and then spawns a child domain. Tests both INIT and CPL (coupling) modes.

Specificities

  • Two simulation setups (SIMU1 and SIMU2)

  • Double grid nesting: different horizontal resolutions per domain

  • Tests both INIT and CPL nesting modes

  • WENO-K advection scheme (5th order)

  • EDKF subgrid convection scheme

Validation

  • Coupling between two grids with different resolutions

  • INIT vs CPL mode nesting comparison

  • Mass flux and cloud coupling
