Numerical simulations of flow-topography interaction using unstructured grids

Eddies and jets are important components of global ocean momentum and heat budgets but are typically unresolved in low resolution global climate models. Herein, they are evaluated with an idealised model set–up that incorporates barotropic flow, past a cylinder on a β –plane. The flow dynamics are a...
