Feature question: Modelling aqueous phase Jet/Plume

[KKotzak]

Hi developers and thank you for this great model.

My question is if it is possible to model with TAMOC aqueous phase Jet/Plume, such as in the case of produced water from a oil well or brine releases. In this cases you have water with significantly different salinity, temperature (and density).

If yes, what is the best way to approach this setup. e.g. create a aqueous "pseudo component" or create "salt" component etc?
I am not sure if interfacial tension is required to calculate breakup into droplets since they are miscible fluids (the brine and the seawater).

This is not an issue but I though if I post it here it could be useful for other people too.
Thank you for any advice.

Hello, Thank you for the question. TAMOC is already capable of making single-phase jet in crossflow simulations. This is handled in the bent_plume_model. The .simulate() method accepts Vj as the initial velocity of produced water in the jet. For an oil well blowout, this is normally zero. For a pure jet, this value should take on the jet exit velocity and the particles list should be empty. The salinity and temperature of the jet discharge are given by Sj and Tj. Hope this answer the question. Thank you, Scott

Thank you Scott for the explanation. I will try it out as you described.
