28.3 Lateral Boundary Conditions

Neumann conditions are assumed for heat and salt on lateral boundaries (no-flux across boundaries). For momentum, a Dirichlet condition is assumed (no-slip). There are some minor variations on these at the domain boundaries as described in the following sections. Note that land cells are where =0. In the following set of options, a choice must be made between enabeling option cyclic or solid_walls. The others are optional.
