ww_momentum_3d - continuity eq. (Source File: ww_momentum_3d.F90)

INTERFACE:

    subroutine ww_momentum_3d()

DESCRIPTION:

Here, the local continuity equation is calculated in order to obtain the grid-related vertical velocity $\bar w_k$. An layer-integrated equation for this quantity is given as equation (25) which has been derived from the differential formulation (3).

Since the kinematic boundary condition must hold (and is used for the derivation of (25)), the grid-related vertical velocity at the surface muzst be zero, i.e. $\bar w_{k_{\max}}=0$. This is a good consistence check for the mode splitting, since this is only fulfilled if the vertically integrated continuity equation (which is the sea surface elevation equation calculated on the micro time step) and this local continuity equation are compatible.

The physical vertical velocity is then recalculated from the grid-related vertical velocity by means of (32), ... which should soon be coded in the routine tow in the directory futils. USES:
