Extend manufactured solution to del2 and del4 #234

Open cbegeman opened 2 weeks ago

cbegeman commented 2 weeks ago

This PR adds manufactured solution tests for del2 and del4 and renames the existing case to default. Both del2 and del4 tests depend on the corresponding source terms being added to the model. These terms are added to MPAS-Ocean here https://github.com/E3SM-Ocean-Discussion/E3SM/pull/110. All tests depend on https://github.com/E3SM-Ocean-Discussion/E3SM/pull/55 to achieve expected convergence.

Several parameter combinations of wavelength, viscosity, and horizontal resolution were tested and no combination was found to exercise del4 over a factor of 8 in resolution. Thus, del4 is included here with the same parameter options as del2 and default but it does not alter the convergence rate.

Testing

MPAS-Ocean tests have been run with https://github.com/E3SM-Ocean-Discussion/E3SM/pull/110 and https://github.com/E3SM-Ocean-Discussion/E3SM/pull/55. Default convergence: image

Del2 convergence: image

Omega tests have been set-up and namelist file examined to ensure it has the appropriate settings.
