Literate internal tide validation experiment?

[navidcy]

Should we promote the internal tide validation experiment to a literate one that goes into the docs?

I can take a stab at literate-ing a version of this validation experiment, although I suggest using scalings appropriate for the deep ocean.

I think it would be nice to rework the experiment into something like this example script, in which I essentially reproduce the MITgcm setup used in Nikurashin and Legg (2011) and Yi et al (2017).

Here's a video showing the solution for ~20 M2 tidal cycles or so.

Another idea is to do the simulation in the linear limit (very small topography) and validate some of the results with analytical solutions.

I'm closing this issue because I'm judging that it's not of current, timely relevance to Oceananigans development. If you would like to make it a higher priority or if you think the issue was closed in error please feel free to re-open.
