Next: 1.3.9 Adjoint Up: 1.3 Continuous equations in Previous: 1.3.7 Forcing/dissipation Contents 1.3.8 Vector invariant formFor some purposes it is advantageous to write momentum advection in eq(1.1) and (1.2) in the (so-called) `vector invariant' form:
This permits alternative numerical treatments of the non-linear terms based on their representation as a vorticity flux. Because gradients of coordinate vectors no longer appear on the rhs of (1.44), explicit representation of the metric terms in (1.29), (1.30) and (1.31), can be avoided: information about the geometry is contained in the areas and lengths of the volumes used to discretize the model.
