Ocean Modeling Discussion

The problem was that I was forcing the inflow with a depth uniform velocity U=( Q(t) / A ). This was causing problems at the bottom and edges of my channel. To get around this I created a deep entrance to allow for slower velocities and blended it into the actual bathymetry.

I am currently experimenting with ROMS on rivers, this means I'm likely running ROMS with on smaller time and length scales than are typically used. This river has a mean depth around 5m, and a damn regulated flow around 200 m 3 /s. I define v_south/north by dividing Q by the cross-sectional area. I ...
