Guest Chris Nielsen Posted March 7, 2014 The horizontal-mixing eddy-viscosity can be defined as a constant value or can be calculated using the Smagorinsky model. The Smagorinsky model sets the diffusivity proportional to the local strain rate. The vertical-mixing eddy-viscosity can be defined as a constant value or can be calculated using a parametric model. The parametric model is based on a parabolic eddy-viscosity profile and applies the Munk & Anderson limiters in the case of stable stratification. Upper and lower bound values can be specified for the horizontal and vertical eddy-viscosities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
