Temperature Gradient of Fluid

ewissmach · July 27, 2022, 12:19

Is there a way to set up a temperature gradient of a fluid? I want my simulation to start with the water near the ocean floor colder than the surface water and see how it circulates once I introduce waves into the region.

yes, you can use the qsadd.f90 sub-routine to initialize the domain temperature (tn(ijk)) in the first iteration. i.e when iplace .eq. 0

If you review the Customizations section of the manual, and the sub-routine it should give you the information you require.
