 Subglacial current with constant viscous wall layers

In a water layer confined between horizontal rock and a movable constant-pressure ice roof, hydrostatic pressure and two wall stresses $\mu u/{\delta }_v$ give $u=-Dh{h}_x$, $q=-D{h}^2{h}_x$ and $h_t=D(h^2{h}_x{)}_x$, with $D={\rho }_{w}g{\delta }_v/(2\mu )>0$. This closure uses a constant viscous boundary layer thickness, not a generic quadratic turbulent drag law.
