The biharmonic filter is an extra term that is added in the horizontal turbulent viscous flux, J, that filters high frequency oscillations in a numerical model of advection-diffusion of a property (i.e. oscillations with a wave-length equal to one or two widths of the horizontal resolution):
where is Fick's law diffusivity. A ready made formula that would estimate the order of magnitude of the coefficient for momentum would be
where U is a typical flow velocity and is the numerical model horizontal resolution.
