Diagnosing Eady growth rates using the power method #6

Open glwagner opened 4 years ago

glwagner commented 4 years ago

Oceananigans' Kelvin-Helmholz example:

https://clima.github.io/OceananigansDocumentation/stable/generated/kelvin_helmholtz_instability/

demonstrates how to use the power method to diagnose eigenvalues (growth rates) and eigenmodes of a linear instability problem in Oceananigans. We should do the same for an Eady instability problem.

Might make sense to modify equilibrated/run_small_eady_problem.jl for this purpose and start a new directory power_method or something.

Yes. Is equilibrated/run_small_eady_problem.jl the best place for me to start?

ok, I will do that tomorrow perhaps...
