[10204] | 10 | CANAL |
---|
| 11 | ===== |
---|
[10201] | 12 | |
---|
[10204] | 13 | East-west periodic canal of variable size with several initial states and associated geostrophic currents (zonal jets or vortex) |

[10204] | 17 | ICEDYN |
---|
| 18 | ====== |
---|
| 19 | |
---|
| 20 | This is an East-t cases illustrate the advection of an ice patch across a East/West and North/South periodic channel. |
---|
| 21 | This configuration can be used to test the advection of the ice patch in an AGRIF zoom (1:3) |
---|
| 22 | and across the AGRIF boundary or to test the ice advection schemes (Prather and Ultimate-Macho). |
---|
| 23 | In the latest case user need to remove ``key_agrif`` out of the CPP keys list. |

[10204] | 27 | VORTEX |
---|
| 28 | ====== |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
| 30 | This test case illustrates the propagation of an anticyclonic eddy over a Beta plan and a flat bottom. |
---|
| 31 | It is implemented here with an online refined subdomain (1:3) out of which the vortex propagates. |
---|
| 32 | It serves as a benchmark for quantitative estimates of nesting errors as in Debreu et al. (2012), |
---|
| 33 | Penven et al. (2006) or Spall and Holland (1991). |
---|
[10230] | 34 | |
---|
[10204] | 35 | The animation below (sea level anomaly in meters) illustrates with two 1:2 successively nested grids how |
---|
| 36 | the vortex smoothly propagates out of the refined grids. |

---|
| 41 | ====== |
---|
[10201] | 42 | |
---|
[10230] | 43 | The purpose of this test case is to evaluate the impact of various schemes and new development with the iceshelf cavities circulation and melt. |
---|
| 44 | This configuration served as initial assesment of the ice shelf module in Losh et al. (2008) and Mathiot et al. (2017). |
---|
| 45 | The default setup is the one described `here <http://staff.acecrc.org.au/~bkgalton/ISOMIP/test_cavities.pdf>`_. |
---|
[10204] | 46 | |
---|
[10230] | 47 | The figure below (meridional overturning circulation) illustrates the circulation generated after 10000 days by the ice shelf melting (ice pump). |

| 51 | LOCK_EXCHANGE |
---|
| 52 | ============= |
---|
| 53 | |
---|
| 54 | The LOCK EXCHANGE experiment is a classical fluid dynamics experiment that has been adapted |
---|
| 55 | by Haidvogel and Beckmann (1999) for testing advection schemes in ocean circulation models. |
---|
| 56 | It has been used by several authors including Burchard and Bolding (2002) and Ilicak et al. (2012). |
---|
| 57 | The LOCK EXCHANGE experiment can in particulart illustrate the impact of different choices of numerical schemes |
---|
| 58 | and/or subgrid closures on spurious interior mixing. |
---|

| 62 | OVERFLOW |
---|
| 63 | ======== |
---|
| 64 | |
---|
| 65 | The OVERFLOW experiment illustrates the impact of different choices of numerical schemes |
---|
| 66 | and/or subgrid closures on spurious interior mixing close to bottom topography. |
---|
| 67 | The OVERFLOW experiment is adapted from the non-rotating overflow configuration described |
---|
| 68 | in Haidvogel and Beckmann (1999) and further used by Ilicak et al. (2012). |
---|
| 69 | Here we can assess the behaviour of the second-order tracer advection scheme FCT2 and fortht-order FCT4, |
---|
| 70 | with some exemple of python scripts into the notebook associated. |

| 74 | WAD |
---|
| 75 | === |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
| 77 | A set of simple closed basin geometries for testing the Wetting and drying capabilities. |
---|
| 78 | Examples range from a closed channel with EW linear bottom slope to a parabolic EW channel with a Gaussian ridge. |
---|
| 79 | |
---|
| 80 | Below the animation of the test case 7. This test case is a simple linear slope with a mid-depth shelf with an open boundary forced with a sinusoidally varying ssh. |
---|
| 81 | This test case has been introduced to emulate a typical coastal application with a tidally forced open boundary with an adverse SSH gradient that, when released, creates a surge up the slope. |
---|
| 82 | The parameters are chosen such that the surge rises above sea-level before falling back and oscillating towards an equilibrium position |
