The following PR adds a header file with each of the buoyancy types included as inline host device functions. Additionally a moist option for anelastic is included. This code is taken from Heus et al 2010. Where we have the following:
It is noted that the
theta_v
computation removes theL/(cp*Pi)*qc
factor so we have omitted it in the PR for computational efficiency. Additionally, the source term enters the w momentum equation asq/theta_0 * theta_v
. This is not in a form where the background state has been subtracted off. Following the cited work of Wyngaard 2004 we have:Based upon the above, the background
theta_v_0
obtained fromp0 & r0
is utilized to define the deviation and reference value.
