'''Hydrodynamics'''
On the basis of the definitions [[CMS-Flow_Hydrodnamics:_Variable_Definitions | Variable Definitions]], and assuming depth-uniform currents, the general depth-integrated and wave-averaged continuity and momentum equations may be written as (Phillips 1977; Mei 1989; Svendsen 2006)
{{Equation|
<math>\frac{\partial h}{\partial t} + \frac {\partial(hV_j)} {\partial x_j} = S^M</math>

'''Governing Equations'''
{{Equation|
 
<math>\frac{\partial(hV_i)}{\partial t} + \frac {\partial(hV_jV_i)}{\partial x_j} - \varepsilon_{ij}f_chV_j = -gh\frac{\partial \bar{\eta}}{\partial x_i} - \frac{h}{\rho} \frac{\partial p_{a}}{\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 h U_{wi}U_{wj} \right) + \frac{\tau_{si}}{\rho} - m_{b}\frac{\tau_{bi}}{\rho}</math>''  
Phillips (1977), Mei (1983), and Svendsen (2006) provide a detailed deri-vation of the depth-integrated and wave-averaged hydrodynamic equa-tions. Here, only variable definitions are provided and derivations may be obtained from the preceding references. The instantaneous current velocity u<sub>i</sub>  is split into:
|2}}
 
''<math>u_i = \bar{u_i} + \tilde{u_i} + u_i^'</math>''
 
in which
 
''<math>\bar{u_i}</math>'' = current (wave-averaged) velocity [m/s]
 
''<math>\tilde{u_i}</math>'' =  wave (oscillatory) velocity with wave-average ''<math>\bar{\tilde{u_i}} = 0 [m/s]</math>''
 
''<math>u_i^'</math>'' = turbulent fluctuation with ensemble average ''<math>\langle u_i^' \rangle</math>'' = 0 and wave average ''<math>\bar{u_i^'}</math>'' = 0 [m/s]
 
The wave-averaged total volume flux is defined as
 
''<math>hV_i</math>'' = ''<math>\bar{{\int_z^\eta} {u_i dz }}</math>''


where
where


''<math>h</math>'' = wave-averaged water depth ''<math>h=\bar{\eta} - z_b </math>'' [m]
: t = time[s]  
 
''<math>V_i</math>'' = total mean mass flux velocity or simply total flux velocity for short [m/s]
 
''<math>u_i</math>'' = instantaneous current velocity [m/s]
 
''<math>\eta</math>''  = instantaneous water level with respect to the Still Water Level (SWL) [m]
 
''<math>z_b</math>''  = bed elevation with respect to the SWL [m]
 
For simplicity in the notation, the over bar in subsequent wave-averaged variables is omitted. The total flux velocity is also referred to as the mean transport velocity (Phillips 1977) and mass transport velocity (Mei 1983). The current volume flux is defined as
 
''<math>hU_i = \int^\eta_{z} \bar{u_i}dz</math>''    (2-3)
 
where ''<math>U_i</math>'' is the depth-averaged current velocity. Similarly, the wave volume flux is defined as by
 
''<math>Q_{wi} = hU_{wi} = \bar{\int \tilde{u_i} dz}</math>''
 
where ''<math>U_{wi}</math>'' is the depth-averaged wave flux velocity [m/s], and ''<math>\eta_t</math>'' = wave trough elevation [m]. Therefore the total flux velocity may be written as
 
''<math>V_i = U_i + U_{wi}</math>''
 
On the basis of the above 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)
 
''<math>\frac{\partial h}{\partial t} + \frac {\partial(hV_j)} {\partial x_j} = S_M</math>''        (2-6)
 
''<math>\frac{\partial(hV_i)}{\partial t} + \frac {\partial(hV_jV_i)}{\partial x_j} - \varepsilon_{ij}f_chV_j = -gh\frac{\partial \bar{\eta}}{\partial x_i} - \frac{h}{\rho} \frac{\partial p_{atm}}{\partial x_i}</math>''
 
''<math>+ \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}</math>''
 
(2-7)
 
 
 
Assuming depth-uniform currents in the presence of oscillatory waves, the general depth- and phase-averaged continuity and momentum equations may be written as (Phillips 1977, Mei 1983, and Svendsen 2006)
 
{{Equation|1=<math>\frac{\partial h}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial (h{{V}_{j}})}{\partial {{x}_{j}}}=0</math>|2=1}}
 
where <math>h</math> is the total water depth <math>h=\zeta+\eta</math>, <math>\eta</math> is the water surface elevation, <math>\zeta</math> is the still water depth, <math>V_i</math> is the wave-averaged, depth-integrated mass flux velocity defined as <math> V_i=U_i+U_{wi}</math>, where <math>U_i</math> is the phase- and depth-averaged current velocity, and <math>U_{wi}</math> is the depth-averaged wave velocity (Phillips 1977)
 
{{Equation|1=<math> U_{wi} = \frac{(E_w + 2E_{sr}) w_i}{\rho hc} </math>|2=2}}
 
where <math>E_w</math> is the wave energy, <math>E_{sr}</math> is the surface roller energy, <math>\rho</math> is the water density, and <math>c</math> is the wave celerity, and <math> {{w}_{i}}=(\cos \theta ,\sin \theta ) </math> is the wave unit vector where <math> \theta </math> is the wave direction.
 
The momentum equation can be written as
 
{{Equation|1=<math> \frac{\partial (h{{V}_{i}})}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial (h{{V}_{i}}{{V}_{j}})}{\partial {{x}_{j}}}-{{\varepsilon }_{ij}}{{f}_{c}}h{{V}_{j}}=-gh\frac{\partial \eta }{\partial {{x}_{i}}}-\frac{h}{{{\rho }_{0}}}\frac{\partial {{p}_{a}}}{\partial {{x}_{i}}}+\frac{\partial }{\partial {{x}_{j}}}\left( {{\nu }_{t}}h\frac{\partial {{V}_{i}}}{\partial {{x}_{j}}} \right) -\frac{1}{\rho }\frac{\partial }{\partial x_j} \left( S_{ij} + R_{ij} -\rho h U_{wi} U_{wj} \right) + \tau _{si}-\tau _{bi}  </math>|2=3}} 
 
where <math>g</math> is the gravitational constant, <math>f_c</math> is the Coriolis parameter, <math>p_a</math> is the atmospheric pressure, <math>\rho_0</math> is a reference water density, <math>\nu_t</math> is the turbulent eddy viscosity, <math> \tau_{s} </math> is the surface wind stress, and <math>\tau_{b}</math> is the combined wave-current mean bed shear stress. <math>\varepsilon_{ij}</math> is the permutation parameter equal to 1 for <math>i,j</math> = 1,2, -1 for <math>i,j</math> = 2,1; and 0 for <math>i=j</math>.
 
The equations above are similar to those derived by Svendsen 2006, ex-cept for the inclusion of the water source/sink term in the continuity equation, and the atmospheric pressure and surface roller terms in the momentum equation. It is also noted that the horizontal mixing term is formulated 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 descritization.
 
== Bottom Stress ==
The mean (wave averaged) bed shear stress is calculated as
 
{{Equation|1=<math> \tau _i^b= m_b \lambda_{wc} \rho c_b U U_i  </math>|2=4}}

For additional information on the bottom friction wee [[CMS-Flow:Bottom_Friction | Bottom and Wall Friction]]
 
== Wave and Roller Stresses==

where <math>f</math> is frequency, <math>\theta</math> is the direction, <math>\delta_{ij}</math>=1 for <math>i=j</math>, <math>\delta_{ij}</math>=0 for <math>i \ne j</math>, and <math>n=\frac{1}{2}\left( 1+\frac{2kh}{\sinh 2kh} \right) </math>. For more information on the CMS-Wave model see [[CMS-Wave]].

Lastly, <math> \tilde{\phi }_{f}^{{}} </math> is the advective value of <math> \phi </math> on cell face f, and is calculated using either the Hybrid, Exponential, HLPA (Zhu 1991) schemes. The cell face velocities <math> U_f </math> are calculated using the momentum interpolation method of Rhie and Chow (1983) described in the subsequent section.  The advection value is calculated as <math> {{\tilde{\phi }}_{f}}=\tilde{\phi }_{f}^{L(\exp )}+  \tilde{\phi }_{f}^{H(\text{imp})}-\tilde{\phi }_{f}^{L(\text{imp})} </math>, where the superscripts <math>L</math> and <math>H</math> indicate low and high order approximations and the superscripts <math>(exp)</math> and <math>(imp)</math> indicate either explicit and implicit treatment.

</math>
|12}}


where <math> {{L}_{\bot }} </math> is a linear interpolation factor given by <math> {{L}_{\bot }}=\Delta {{x}_{\bot ,P}}/(\Delta {{x}_{\bot ,P}}+\Delta {{x}_{\bot ,N}}) </math> and <math> {{\nabla }_{\parallel }} </math> is the gradient operator in the direction parallel to face f. By definition <math> \parallel \,=2\left| {{{\hat{n}}}_{1}} \right|+1\left| {{{\hat{n}}}_{2}} \right| </math>. Note that for neighboring cells without any refinement <math> {{x}_{\parallel ,O}}-{{x}_{\parallel ,P}} </math> and <math>{{x}_{\parallel ,O}}-{{x}_{\parallel ,N}} </math> are zero and thus the above equation is consistent with non-refined cell faces.

=== Diffusion term ===
:<math>\tau_{si} = </math> wind surface stress [Pa]
The diffusion term is discretized in general form using the divergence theorem


{{Equation|

The discritization of the cell-face gradient is described in the next section. On a Cartesian grid the above expression may be further simplified as
:<math>R_{ij}</math> = surface roller stress [Pa]


{{Equation|
:<math>m_b</math> = bed slope coefficient [-]

where <math> {{\nabla }_{\bot }}\phi </math> is gradient in the direction perpendicular to the cell face and  
:<math>\tau_{bi}</math> = combined wave and current mean bed shear stress [Pa].
<math> {{D}_{f}}=\frac{\bar{\Gamma }_{f}^{{}}{{{\bar{h}}}_{f}}\Delta {{l}_{f}}}{\left| \delta {{x}_{\bot }} \right|} </math>.


== Hydrodynamic Solver ==
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.
 
 
== Wetting and drying ==
In the numerical simulation of the surface water flows with sloped beaches, sand bars and islands, the water edges change with time, with part of the nodes being possibly wet or dry. In the present model, a threshold flow depth (a small value such as 0.02 m in field cases) is used to judge drying and wetting. If the flow depth on a node is larger than the threshold value, this node is considered to be wet, and if the flow depth is lower than the threshold value, this node is dry. Because a fully implicit solver is used in the present model, all the wet and dry nodes participate in the solution. Dry nodes are assigned a zero velocity. On the water edges between the dry and wet nodes, the wall-function approach is applied.

Continuity and Momentum Equations

On the basis of the definitions Variable Definitions, and assuming depth-uniform currents, the general depth-integrated and wave-averaged continuity and momentum equations may be written as (Phillips 1977; Mei 1989; Svendsen 2006)

 

(1)
 

(2)

where

t = time[s]
= Cartesian coordinate in the direction [m], j = 1,2 or x, y
source term due to precipitation, evaporation and structures (e.g. culverts) [m/s]
Coriolis parameter [rad/s] in which rad/s is the Earth’s angular velocity of rotation and is the latitude in degrees
gravitational constant (~9.81 m/s2)
= atmospheric pressure [Pa]
water density (~1025 kg/m3)
turbulent eddy viscosity [m2/s]
wind surface stress [Pa]
= wave radiation stress [Pa]
= surface roller stress [Pa]
= bed slope coefficient [-]
= combined wave and current mean bed shear stress [Pa].

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.
