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} - fv = -\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

Failed to parse (syntax error): \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} = 0
