<div>Hi Yilang,</div><div><br></div><div>Not so sure but my understanding is that if you set no_slip_bottom=.FALSE., then the drag</div><div>coefficient should make no effect on the velocity field (whatever you set). So the velocity gradient</div><div>normal to the bottom boundary should be zero. In this case, bottom friction does not contribute</div><div>to kinetic energy dissipation. Only viscosity you set in the model, along with numerical dissipation,</div><div>contributes to the energy dissipation.</div><div><sign signid="0"><div style="color:#909090;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:12px"><br><br>------------------</div><div style="font-size:14px;font-family:Verdana;color:#000;"><div> <font size="2">Best regards <br> <br>Yu-Kun Qian (钱钰坤) <br>Center for Monsoon and Environment Research</font> </div> <font size="2">Department of Atmospheric Sciences<br>School of Environmental Science and Engineering<font size="2"> <br> </font>Sun Yat-sen University <br>No. 135 Xingang West Road, Haizhu District <br>Guangzhou, 510275, P.R.
