Primitive Equations

The governing equations consist of the following momentum, continuity, temperature, salinity, and density equations:


\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} + w \frac{\partial u}{\partial z} - fv = -\frac{1}{\rho_o} \frac{\partial P}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left(  K_{m} \frac{\partial u}{\partial z}\right) + F_u


\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} + w \frac{\partial v}{\partial z} +fu = -\frac{1}{\rho_o} \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left(  K_{m} \frac{\partial v}{\partial z}\right) + F_u


\frac{\partial P}{\partial z} = -\rho g

\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} +   \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}  = 0

\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial y} + w \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial z}  = \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left(  K_{h} \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial z}\right) + F_u
 
\frac{\partial s}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial s}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial s}{\partial y} + w \frac{\partial s}{\partial z}  = \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left(  K_{h} \frac{\partial s}{\partial z}\right) + F_u
