Fattehallah Ghadi: A Stream Function Vorticity System for Baratropic Ocean Model



In this work we study the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes problem. We introduce a suitable technique based on the splitting of the vorticity into two components. Then we discretize in space the resulting uncoupled system by means of continuous Lagrange finite elements. This work is completed by an application to a barotropic ocean model.
