test - experiment : ideal_2D_oce
purpose: Shows that the residual mean circulation is becoming small at the Equilibrium (Bolus cancel the Euleurian circ.) and is function of the diapycnal mixing.
Set up: Idealized 2D global ocean with flat bathymetry and no continent, symetric relative to the Eq. Forcing: zonal wind stress and surface temp. relaxation toward a "realistic" SST (function of Latitude).
To reduce diapycnal mixing, "exotic" parameters are used (and tested) in this test-experiment: a) vertical discretization: interface at the middle (use delRc) b) GM advect form c) use Visbeck d) GM advect(Euler+Bolus) and Flux Limit Adv scheme. e) 3 different time-steps (MOM,FS,Tracer) f) oceanic exp using stagger time stepping g) oceanic exp using cg2dTargetResWunit
