Uniform flow across a mountain

Details on the computation

Initialisation 
Vorticity:   zero
Tracers:     single tracer point at the centre of the domain
Computation: domain: X = (-3, ..., 3), Y = (-3, ..., 3)
             no. of grid points from wall to wall: (129, 129)
             boundary conditions: uniform flow in the x-direction
                      of velocity 1.67 [psi_top=2, psi_bottom=1]
             standard Arakawa scheme used
             rotation effects: f0 = +3. beta = 0, gamma = 0
             bottom topography: circular mountain at the origin
                    with a half cosine profile.
                    max. height h_max = 0.4, radius R = 1.0
             solver for streamfunction: NAG
             viscosity: nu = 10^-3 (i.e. Re=1000 at T=0)
             time step: dt = 0.05
             final time: T = 5
