This PhD project is about the development of structure preserving (e.g. mass and total energy) finite element discretizations of flow models in Geophy

. It intends to develop in a systematic manner by combining compatible finite
element (exterior calculus) with variational methods and by developing new basis functions that are constructed via the method of subdivision adaptive structure preserving schemes. As such, the topic is of high interest particularly in the GFD community, because there is…
