Hi,

I have a 3D model that has been validated with salt and currents. Recently, I started using the viscosity for tracers in the vertical axis (NAZ) and I noticed that I'm getting huge negative values in some regions and smaller positive values in other regions of the model. Is this normal? What can I do to work with these values? Ignore the negative? Ignore the positive?
Should I run the model again?

I'm using
VERTICAL TURBULENCE MODEL = 3
HORIZONTAL TURBULENCE MODEL = 3

Thanks in advance,
Cristian

Hello Cristian,

Viscosity for tracer along z axis (NAZ) is computed in VISCKE subroutine from VISCVI%ADR(3) = C_mu*k**2/epsilon and COEFFICIENT FOR VERTICAL DIFFUSION OF TRACERS, so mainly dependent on k and epsilon.
It is strange that you get negative values for this variable.

Can you upload your steering file + potential Fortran files (in particular if you change something in CSTKEP subroutine).
