In its simplest form, the nonlinear steady-state quasi-geostrophic equation
is the coupled set:
q = eps*del2(psi) + y (1)
J(psi,q) = F(x,y) - k*del2(psi) (2)
where psi is the stream function
q is the absolute vorticity
F is a specified forcing function
eps and k are specified parameters
J is the Jacobian operator:
J(a,b) = dx(a)*dy(b) - dy(a)*dx(b)
The single boundary condition is the one on psi stating that the closed
boundary C of the 2D area should be streamline:
psi = 0 on C.
In this test, the term k*del2(psi) in (2) has been replaced by (k/eps)*(q-y),
and a smoothing diffusion term damp*del2(q) has been added.
Only the natural boundary condition is needed for Q.
