In/Output

Describe input parameters Input parameters:
* Geometrical parameters: Nx, Ny, domain size
* Flow Parameters: Reynolds, Peclet
* Particle Parameters: Settling velocities.
Input format ASCII
Other input format
Describe output parameters It can output local velocity, vorticity, concentration, stream-function, dissipation, kinetic energy

Also, tip position, and current height at every time-step.

Output format ASCII
Other output format
Pre-processing software needed? No
Describe pre-processing software
Post-processing software needed? Yes
Describe post-processing software The data is outputted in a format to be read by Paraview.
Visualization software needed? Yes
If above answer is yes Matlab
Other visualization software Paraview


Process

Describe processes represented by the model Any type of turbidity (or gravity) currents could be modeled with this code. I also use it for modeling internal bores.
Describe key physical parameters and equations Incompressible flow equations: Navier-Stokes with Boussinesq approximations. Transport equation to describe the motion of particles (or Salanity or Temperature).
Describe length scale and resolution constraints With the current version of the code (DNS and no turbulence model) we are restricted to low Reynolds numbers. Up to maximum 10,000.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints
Describe any numerical limitations and issues


Testing

Describe available calibration data sets
Upload calibration data sets if available:
Describe available test data sets
Upload test data sets if available:
Describe ideal data for testing


Other

Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers?
Is there a manual available? No
Upload manual if available:
Model website if any
