Analytical Solution
Dupont (2001) presented an analytical solution for a closed circular domain on an f-plane, with radius , a linear bottom friction, and a spatially variable wind stress equal to , where is the gradient of the wind forcing and is the vertical coordinate. The water surface elevation solution is given by
Setup
The model is run to steady state from zero current and water level initial conditions with , , and both , and . Figure 1 shows the computational grid with 5 levels of refinement from 2000 m to 125 m.
