[MITgcm-support] Internal waves induced by submerged body

[Jody Klymak]

Hi Mohammad

You can have a fixed obstacle on the seafloor and move the water past it.  You cannot submerge an obstacle from the surface into the fluid, so far as I know, though maybe the ice models have evolved to that point.  Similarly, I don’t think you can tow a body through a quiescent fluid.  

If you want to move water past an obstacle, your approach depends a bit on your setup, but usually using the obcs or the rbcs package to nudge the flow is effective.  Sometimes you want a body force instead (modify external_forcing.F)

Cheers,   Jody
