Abstract
The multiscale patch scheme is built from given small micro-scale simulations of complicated phys. processes to empower large macro-scale simulations. By coupling small patches of simulations over unsimulated spatial gaps, large savings in computational time are possible. Here we discuss generalising the patch scheme to the case of wave systems on staggered grids in 2D space. Classic macro-scale interpolation provides a generic coupling between patches that achieves arbitrarily high order consistency between the emergent macro-scale simulation and the underlying micro-scale dynamics. Eigen-anal. indicates that the resultant scheme empowers feasible computation of large macro-scale simulations of wave systems even with complicated underlying physics. As examples we use the scheme to simulate some wave scenarios via a turbulent shallow water model.
