Adaptive mesh refinement schemes are useful tools to efficiently model various scales of shallow water flow. A new adaptive formulation is proposed, which combines the Haar wavelets with the FV method (HWFV). The appeal of the formulation can be easily exploited to drive spatial resolution adaptation from the solution itself according to a single threshold value . A series of numerical tests have been performed, considering issues of wellbalanced property, convergence of scheme, sensitivity relating to different choice of the thresholds values and ability to treat wet/dry fronts.
Numerical evidence confirms that the proposed HWFV scheme can accurately solve the shallow water equations with source term. Adaptive solutions are shown to be mass conservative. Notably, the new model is proven to be able to selfdecide appropriate resolution levels following the dynamics of the flow, including shocks, wet/dry fronts and the presence of nonflat topography. Future research will consist
of integrating the friction source term in a wellbalanced manner, exploring sensitivity issues in relation of increasing the resolution levels with varying threshold values and extending the approach to 2D.
