Abstract
Modeling of dynamic pressure appears necessary to achieve a more robust simulation of the events within a stratified basin; however, its effects are typically spatially and temporally limited. The overall computational expense associated with the dynamic pressure can be reduced if the non-hydrostatic regions can be identified prior to the dynamic pressure calculation. In this work, we seek to define an appropriate criterion that can be computed from a hydrostatic solution and used as an indicator of the possible magnitude of non-hydrostatic effects.
