By chosing the compiler option SLICE_MODEL it is possible to
operate GETM as a two-dimensional vertical (-)model under the assumption
that all gradients in
-direction vanish. In order to do so,
a bathymetry file with a width of 4 grid points has to be generated,
with the outer (
,
) bathymetry values set to land, and the two inner
ones being independent on
. The compiler option SLICE_MODEL
then sets the transports, velocities, and sea surface elevations such that
they are independent of
, i.e. they are forced to be identical for
the same
-index. Especially, the
-transports and velocities
in the walls (
,
) are set to the calculated value at index
.
