Un modele bidomaine aux equations primitives en oceanographie physique

Translated title of the contribution: A bidomain primitive equation model in physical oceanography

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study concerns numerical simulations carried out following the elaboration of an oceanological multidomain model. A simplified, two-domain version of the multidomain model is presented. It is based on a computer code which solves the Navier-Stokes and temperature equations in the three dimensions of space for an incompressible fluid in accordance with the hydrostatic approximation and Boussinesq's assumption. The model is tested by the simulation of a barotropic modon, an analytic solution, of the quasigeostrophic potential vorticity equation, adequately representative of an oceanic vortex. -from English summary
