The biharmonic coefficient is an extra term that is added to the horizontal turbulent viscous flux, J:

\mathrm{J} = -\mathrm{K}\cdot \nabla C + \nabla_{h}\left( \kappa_4 \nabla_{h}^2 C \right)

A ready made formula that would estimate the order of magnitude of the k_4 coefficient would be

\kappa_4 \sim \frac{U}{16} \Delta x^3
