Abstract
This paper deals with a non-hydrostatic mesoscale model that achieves full vectorization on computers like the CYBER 205. The model formulation ensures the conservation of all fluxes and takes into account the terrain inhomogeneities by the aid of suitable transformations. The diagnostic equation for the pressure change is solved using a very efficient vectorized elliptic solver. By imposing appropriate boundary conditions no additional precautions at the boundaries are necessary to achieve meaningful results. As an application, the steady-state inviscid flow over a single mountain is simulated.
