Module Description |
|
Hydrodynamic |
Full 3D
dimensional baroclinic hydrodynamic free surface model. Computes
the water level, velocities and water fluxes. |
|
Turbulence |
1D
turbulence model. Uses
various
formulations
including the
GOTM model. |
|
Water Properties
(Eulerian Transport) |
Eulerian transport model. Manages the evolution of the water
properties (temperature, salinity, oxygen, cohesive sediments,
etc.) using a eulerian approach. |
|
Water Quality |
0D water quality model. Simulates the oxygen, nitrogen and
phosphorus cycle. Used by the eulerian and the lagrangian
transport modules. Based on a model initially developed by EPA
(1985). |
|
Lagrangian |
Lagrangian
transport model. Manages the evolution of the same properties as
the water properties module using a lagrangian approach. Can
also be used to simulate oil dispersion. |
|
Oil |
Oil dispersion
module. Simulates the oil spreading due thickness gradients and
internal oil processes like evaporation, emulsification,
dispersion, dissolution and sedimentation. |
|
Jet |
This model is responsible to compute the initial
dilution of a submarine jet. |
|
Sediment Properties |
Sediment compartment module. Manages the evolution of the
sediment particulate and dissolved properties. It is prepared to
use water fluxes from both module Soil and module Consolidation
in order to compute solutes transport. |
|
Sands |
|
|
Consolidation |
1DV
consolidation module. Computes, following a decay rate
formulation, the sediment layers consolidation
and
upward interstitial water
fluxes. |
|
Interface Water-Air |
Boundary conditions at the top of the water column (wind, air
temperature, precipitation). If the water column is not present,
it can provide boundary conditions to the top of the sediment
compartment. |
|
Interface Sediment-Water |
Boundary conditions at the bottom of the water column and at the
top of the sediment compartment. Handles the deposition, erosion
and consolidation fluxes in the cohesive sediment transport
model. |
