[9393] | 30 | \section{Chain rule for $s-$coordinates} |
---|
[11543] | 31 | \label{sec:SCOORD_chain} |
---|
[2282] | 32 | |
---|
[3294] | 33 | In order to establish the set of Primitive Equation in curvilinear $s$-coordinates |
---|
[11435] | 34 | (\ie\ an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate in the horizontal and |
---|
[10354] | 35 | an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) coordinate in the vertical), |
---|
[11543] | 36 | we start from the set of equations established in \autoref{subsec:MB_zco_Eq} for |
---|
[10354] | 37 | the special case $k = z$ and thus $e_3 = 1$, |
---|
| 38 | and we introduce an arbitrary vertical coordinate $a = a(i,j,z,t)$. |
---|
| 39 | Let us define a new vertical scale factor by $e_3 = \partial z / \partial s$ (which now depends on $(i,j,z,t)$) and |
---|
| 40 | the horizontal slope of $s-$surfaces by: |
---|
[10414] | 41 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 42 | \label{eq:SCOORD_s_slope} |
---|
[11335] | 43 | \sigma_1 =\frac{1}{e_1 } \; \left. {\frac{\partial z}{\partial i}} \right|_s |
---|
[10414] | 44 | \quad \text{and} \quad |
---|
[11335] | 45 | \sigma_2 =\frac{1}{e_2 } \; \left. {\frac{\partial z}{\partial j}} \right|_s . |
---|
[707] | 46 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 47 | |
---|
[11335] | 48 | The model fields (e.g. pressure $p$) can be viewed as functions of $(i,j,z,t)$ (e.g. $p(i,j,z,t)$) or as |
---|
[11543] | 49 | functions of $(i,j,s,t)$ (e.g. $p(i,j,s,t)$). The symbol $\bullet$ will be used to represent any one of |
---|
| 50 | these fields. Any ``infinitesimal'' change in $\bullet$ can be written in two forms: |
---|
[10414] | 51 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 52 | \label{eq:SCOORD_s_infin_changes} |
---|
[11335] | 53 | \begin{aligned} |
---|
[11543] | 54 | & \delta \bullet = \delta i \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial i} \right|_{j,s,t} |
---|
| 55 | + \delta j \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial i} \right|_{i,s,t} |
---|
| 56 | + \delta s \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial s} \right|_{i,j,t} |
---|
[11335] | 57 | + \delta t \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial t} \right|_{i,j,s} , \\ |
---|
[11543] | 58 | & \delta \bullet = \delta i \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial i} \right|_{j,z,t} |
---|
| 59 | + \delta j \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial i} \right|_{i,z,t} |
---|
| 60 | + \delta z \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial z} \right|_{i,j,t} |
---|
[11335] | 61 | + \delta t \left. \frac{ \partial \bullet }{\partial t} \right|_{i,j,z} . |
---|
| 62 | \end{aligned} |
---|
| 63 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 64 | Using the first form and considering a change $\delta i$ with $j, z$ and $t$ held constant, shows that |
---|
| 65 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11558] | 66 | \label{eq:SCOORD_s_chain_rule1} |
---|
[11335] | 67 | \left. {\frac{\partial \bullet }{\partial i}} \right|_{j,z,t} = |
---|
| 68 | \left. {\frac{\partial \bullet }{\partial i}} \right|_{j,s,t} |
---|
[11543] | 69 | + \left. {\frac{\partial s }{\partial i}} \right|_{j,z,t} \; |
---|
| 70 | \left. {\frac{\partial \bullet }{\partial s}} \right|_{i,j,t} . |
---|
[11335] | 71 | \end{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 72 | The term $\left. \partial s / \partial i \right|_{j,z,t}$ can be related to the slope of constant $s$ surfaces, |
---|
| 73 | (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_s_slope}), by applying the second of (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_s_infin_changes}) with $\bullet$ set to |
---|
[11335] | 74 | $s$ and $j, t$ held constant |
---|
| 75 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 76 | \label{eq:SCOORD_delta_s} |
---|
| 77 | \delta s|_{j,t} = |
---|
| 78 | \delta i \left. \frac{ \partial s }{\partial i} \right|_{j,z,t} |
---|
[11335] | 79 | + \delta z \left. \frac{ \partial s }{\partial z} \right|_{i,j,t} . |
---|
| 80 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 81 | Choosing to look at a direction in the $(i,z)$ plane in which $\delta s = 0$ and using |
---|
[11543] | 82 | (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_s_slope}) we obtain |
---|
[11335] | 83 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 84 | \left. \frac{ \partial s }{\partial i} \right|_{j,z,t} = |
---|
[11335] | 85 | - \left. \frac{ \partial z }{\partial i} \right|_{j,s,t} \; |
---|
| 86 | \left. \frac{ \partial s }{\partial z} \right|_{i,j,t} |
---|
| 87 | = - \frac{e_1 }{e_3 }\sigma_1 . |
---|
[11543] | 88 | \label{eq:SCOORD_ds_di_z} |
---|
[11335] | 89 | \end{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 90 | Another identity, similar in form to (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_ds_di_z}), can be derived |
---|
| 91 | by choosing $\bullet$ to be $s$ and using the second form of (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_s_infin_changes}) to consider |
---|
[11335] | 92 | changes in which $i , j$ and $s$ are constant. This shows that |
---|
| 93 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 94 | \label{eq:SCOORD_w_in_s} |
---|
| 95 | w_s = \left. \frac{ \partial z }{\partial t} \right|_{i,j,s} = |
---|
[11335] | 96 | - \left. \frac{ \partial z }{\partial s} \right|_{i,j,t} |
---|
[11543] | 97 | \left. \frac{ \partial s }{\partial t} \right|_{i,j,z} |
---|
| 98 | = - e_3 \left. \frac{ \partial s }{\partial t} \right|_{i,j,z} . |
---|
[11335] | 99 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 100 | |
---|
[11543] | 101 | In what follows, for brevity, indication of the constancy of the $i, j$ and $t$ indices is |
---|
| 102 | usually omitted. Using the arguments outlined above one can show that the chain rules needed to establish |
---|
[11335] | 103 | the model equations in the curvilinear $s-$coordinate system are: |
---|
| 104 | \begin{equation} |

---|
[11543] | 189 | Here, $w$ is the vertical velocity relative to the $z-$coordinate system. |
---|
| 190 | Using the first form of (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_s_infin_changes}) |

| 191 | and the definitions (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_s_slope}) and (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_w_in_s}) for $\sigma_1$, $\sigma_2$ and $w_s$, |
---|
[11335] | 192 | one can show that the vertical velocity, $w_p$ of a point |
---|
[11543] | 193 | moving with the horizontal velocity of the fluid along an $s$ surface is given by |
---|
[10414] | 194 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 195 | \label{eq:SCOORD_w_p} |
---|
[11335] | 196 | \begin{split} |

| 197 | w_p = & \left. \frac{ \partial z }{\partial t} \right|_s |

| 200 | = & w_s + u \sigma_1 + v \sigma_2 . |
---|
[11543] | 201 | \end{split} |
---|
[11335] | 202 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 203 | The vertical velocity across this surface is denoted by |

| 204 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 205 | \label{eq:SCOORD_w_s} |
---|
| 206 | \omega = w - w_p = w - ( w_s + \sigma_1 \,u + \sigma_2 \,v ) . |
---|
[707] | 207 | \end{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 208 | Hence |
---|
[11335] | 209 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 210 | \frac{1}{e_3 } \frac{\partial}{\partial s} \left[ w - u\;\sigma_1 - v\;\sigma_2 \right] = |
---|
| 211 | \frac{1}{e_3 } \frac{\partial}{\partial s} \left[ \omega + w_s \right] = |

---|
[11335] | 215 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 216 | |
---|
[11543] | 217 | Using (\autoref{eq:SCOORD_w_s}) in our expression for $\nabla \cdot {\mathrm {\mathbf U}}$ we obtain |

[11335] | 218 | our final expression for the divergence of the velocity in the curvilinear $s-$coordinate system: |
---|
| 219 | \begin{equation} |

| 221 | \frac{1}{e_1 \,e_2 \,e_3 } \left[ |

---|
| 226 | \end{equation} |
---|
[707] | 227 | |
---|
[11543] | 228 | As a result, the continuity equation \autoref{eq:MB_PE_continuity} in the $s-$coordinates is: |

[10414] | 229 | \begin{equation} |

---|
[707] | 448 | |
---|
[10354] | 449 | As in $z$-coordinate, |
---|
[11123] | 450 | the horizontal pressure gradient can be split in two parts following \citet{marsaleix.auclair.ea_OM08}. |
---|
[10354] | 451 | Let defined a density anomaly, $d$, by $d=(\rho - \rho_o)/ \rho_o$, |
---|
| 452 | and a hydrostatic pressure anomaly, $p_h'$, by $p_h'= g \; \int_z^\eta d \; e_3 \; dk$. |
---|
[2282] | 453 | The pressure is then given by: |
---|
[10414] | 454 | \[ |
---|
| 455 | \begin{split} |
---|
[11335] | 456 | p &= g\; \int_z^\eta \rho \; e_3 \; dk = g\; \int_z^\eta \rho_o \left( d + 1 \right) \; e_3 \; dk \\ |
---|
| 457 | &= g \, \rho_o \; \int_z^\eta d \; e_3 \; dk + \rho_o g \, \int_z^\eta e_3 \; dk . |
---|
[10414] | 458 | \end{split} |
---|
[10406] | 459 | \] |
---|
[2282] | 460 | Therefore, $p$ and $p_h'$ are linked through: |
---|
[10414] | 461 | \begin{equation} |
---|
[11543] | 462 | \label{eq:SCOORD_pressure} |

---|
[2282] | 464 | \end{equation} |
---|
| 465 | and the hydrostatic pressure balance expressed in terms of $p_h'$ and $d$ is: |
---|
[10414] | 466 | \[ |
---|
[11335] | 467 | \frac{\partial p_h'}{\partial k} = - d \, g \, e_3 . |

---|
[2282] | 483 | \end{equation} |
---|
[10354] | 484 | This formulation of the pressure gradient is characterised by the appearance of |
---|
| 485 | a term depending on the sea surface height only |
---|
[11543] | 486 | (last term on the right hand side of expression \autoref{eq:SCOORD_grad_p_2}). |
---|
[10354] | 487 | This term will be loosely termed \textit{surface pressure gradient} whereas |
---|
| 488 | the first term will be termed the \textit{hydrostatic pressure gradient} by analogy to |
---|
| 489 | the $z$-coordinate formulation. |
---|
| 490 | In fact, the true surface pressure gradient is $1/\rho_o \nabla (\rho \eta)$, |

| 491 | and $\eta$ is implicitly included in the computation of $p_h'$ through the upper bound of the vertical integration. |

| 561 | ($u$,$v$) are always horizontal velocities so that their evolution is driven by \emph{horizontal} forces, |
---|
| 562 | in particular the pressure gradient. |
