Kinematic Boundary conditions

Vertical

at fixed and moving r surfaces we set (see :numref:`zandp-vert-coord`):

\dot{r}=0 \text{ at } r=R_{fixed}(x,y)\text{  (ocean bottom, top of the atmosphere)}
\dot{r}=\frac{Dr}{Dt} \text{ at } r=R_{moving}(x,y)\text{  (ocean surface, bottom of the atmosphere)}

Here

R_{moving}=R_{o}+\eta

where R_{o}(x,y) is the ‘r-value’ (height or pressure, depending on whether we are in the atmosphere or ocean) of the ‘moving surface’ in the resting fluid and \eta is the departure from R_{o}(x,y) in the presence of motion.

Horizontal

\vec{\mathbf{v}}\cdot \vec{\mathbf{n}}=0

where \vec{\mathbf{n}} is the normal to a solid boundary.
