B.a.i. Equation of motion

Before making finite difference equations, (A.1) and (A.2) shown in appendix A.a are transformed as follows.


where,


It is reason to use this formulation that the time dependence of upper and lower boundary conditions are disappeared.

The advection terms are evaluated by the combination scheme of flux and advection forms. The time integration is performed by the forward scheme for the friction term and combination of the leap-frog and forward scheme for the other terms. The calculation method of pressure term are shown in appendix B.1.iii.
