The coefficients
of the differential
equation for the eddy viscosity (the added viscosity) are determined by matching a few (usually 2) canonical cases, usually a flat plat boundary layer in a zero pressure gradient and a straight wake (a sheet
of vorticity).
This can most easily be seen by considering that the slowly evolving large scale flow satisfies elliptic
equations for all variables except the vertical component
of the
vorticity.
For that, we require that A˜mOrt should be higher than the sum
of the nonlinear terms in the original nonlinear barotropic
vorticity equation on a sphere (see, e.g., ref.
In the so - called model numerics, a great deal
of care is used in formulating the differential
equation solution approach so as to explicitly conserve a number
of quantities (mass, energy, water substance, angular momentum, linear momentum,
vorticity) that are all important for the accurate representation
of atmospheric dynamics.
If you take the curl
of the Navier - Stokes
equations you will see that
vorticity is conserved.
It has also been proved mathematically that if one uses only the vertical component
of vorticity (a simple interpolation in time and space can be used), then the rest
of the slowly evolving in time solution, i.e. the horizontal divergence, the vertical velocity, the potential temperature, and the pressure) can be determined using solutions
of a simple set
of elliptic
equations (Browning and Kreiss 2002 and Page et al. 2005).
