Numerical simulations of the nonlinear Molodensky problem
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We present a boundary element method to compute numerical approximations to the non-linear Molodensky problem, which reconstructs the surface of the earth from the gravitational potential and the gravity vector. Our solution procedure solves a sequence of exterior oblique Robin problems and is based on a Nash-H"{o}rmander iteration. We apply smoothing with the heat equation to overcome a loss of derivatives in the surface update. Numerical results compare the error between the approximation and the exact solution in a model problem.
