Anelastic momentum equations from Clark (1977), 'A Small-Scale Dynamic Model Using a Terrain-Following Coordinate Transformation', Journal of Computational Physics 24, 186-215. A diagnostic (purely algebraic) component that evaluates the residuals of the three nonlinear anelastic momentum equations (Eqs. 2.1-2.3) in Cartesian coordinates. Given the velocity components (u, v, w), their material derivatives (du/dt, dv/dt, dw/dt), the perturbation-pressure gradients (∂p'/∂x, ∂p'/∂y, ∂p'/∂z), the base-state and perturbation densities (ρ̄, ρ'), the Reynolds-stress divergences ((∇·τ)₁, (∇·τ)₂, (∇·τ)₃), the Coriolis parameter f and the Rayleigh-friction time scale τ_R, it returns the three momentum-equation residuals mom_u, mom_v, mom_w. Each residual is the sum of the inertial term ρ̄·(dV/dt), the Coriolis term ρ̄·V·f (horizontal components only), the perturbation-pressure gradient, the negative Reynolds-stress divergence, the buoyancy term ρ'·g (vertical component only) and the negative Rayleigh-friction sink ρ̄·V/τ_R; the residual vanishes when the momentum balance is exactly satisfied. The model has 3 algebraic variables (no time integration), 3 equations and 17 parameters (1 physical constant + 16 inputs). All quantities are SI.
