Governing Equation

The depth-averaged 2-D continuity and momentum equations are given by

        ${\frac {\partial h}{\partial t}}+{\frac {\partial (hU_{j})}{\partial x_{j}}}=S$

${\frac {\partial h}{\partial t}}+{\frac {\partial (hU_{j})}{\partial x_{j}}}=S$

(1)

for $j=1,2$

        ${\frac {\partial (hU_{i})}{\partial t}}+{\frac {\partial (hU_{i}U_{j})}{\partial x_{j}}}-\epsilon _{ij3}f_{c}U_{j}h=-gh{\frac {\partial \eta }{\partial x_{j}}}-{\frac {h}{\rho _{0}}}{\frac {\partial p_{a}}{\partial x_{j}}}+{\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}{\biggl (}\nu _{t}h{\frac {\partial U_{i}}{\partial x_{j}}}{\biggr )}+{\frac {\tau _{i}}{\rho }}$  

for $i=1,2$ and $j=1,2$
