Continuity and Momentum Equations

On the basis of the definitions Variable Definitions, and assuming depth-uniform cur-rents, the general depth-integrated and wave-averaged continuity and momentum equations may be written as (Phillips 1977; Mei 1983; Svendsen 2006)

${\frac {\partial h}{\partial t}}+{\frac {\partial (hV_{j})}{\partial x_{j}}}=S_{M}$

(6)

${\frac {\partial (hV_{i})}{\partial t}}+{\frac {\partial (hV_{j}V_{i})}{\partial x_{j}}}-\varepsilon _{ij}f_{c}hV_{j}=-gh{\frac {\partial {\bar {\eta }}}{\partial x_{i}}}-{\frac {h}{\rho }}{\frac {\partial p_{atm}}{\partial x_{i}}}+{\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}{\left(v_{t}h{\frac {\partial V_{i}}{\partial x_{j}}}\right)}-{\frac {1}{\rho }}{\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}\left(S_{ij}+R_{ij}-\rho hU_{wi}U_{wj}\right)+{\frac {\tau _{si}}{\rho }}-m_{b}{\frac {\tau _{bi}}{\rho }}$

The above 2DH equations are similar to those derived by Svendsen (2006), except for the inclusion of the water source/sink term in the continuity equation and the atmospheric pressure and surface roller terms and the bed slope coefficient in the momentum equation. It’s also noted that the horizontal mixing term is formulated slightly differently as a function of the total flux velocity, similar to the Generalized Lagrangian Mean (GLM) approach (Andrews and McIntyre 1978; Walstra et al. 2000). This approach is arguably more physically meaningful and also simplifies the discretization in the case where the total flux velocity is used as the model prognostic variable.
