FURTHER STUDIES OF CONSISTENT HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL RESOLUTION

Subject to constant computational area, two expressions of the optimal vertical grid length with different accuracies and an expression of the consistent vertical grid length for the advection equation and cerequation were presented in the case of a single wave. And the corresponding expressions of consistent vertical grid length in the multiwave case was derived. Finally. a discussion has been made on the impact of the inconsistency of horizontal and vertical resolution on energy propagation and computational stability of the numerical solution.
