🤖 AI Summary
To address the bottlenecks of poor terrain conformity and limited parallel scalability in global climate simulation, this paper proposes the first dynamic adaptive non-conforming mesh numerical framework tailored for atmospheric dynamics. Methodologically, it innovatively couples a non-conforming finite volume method with a high-order semi-implicit time integration scheme, augmented by mixed-precision communication optimization, MPI+OpenMP hybrid parallelism, and adaptive mesh redistribution. On a ten-million-core supercomputer, the framework achieves a 1.2× speedup; horizontal resolution over complex terrain improves by a factor of three; and long-term energy conservation error decreases by one order of magnitude. The framework significantly enhances geometric adaptability, computational efficiency, and strong scalability—establishing a new paradigm for high-fidelity global climate modeling.
