Abstract
This chapter applies the two-dimensional shallow-water equations to study various processes such as surface gravity waves, the wind-driven circulation in a lake, the formation of turbulent island wakes, and the barotropic instability mechanism. The reader is introduced to various advection schemes simulating the movement of Eulerian tracer and describing the nonlinear terms in the momentum equations.
