Oil Module question ?

[ju-saave@uniandes.edu.co]

Hi
I've been reading the user manual for Mohid, and I can't find a more accurate information about OIL module, I want to know if i can simulate a oil spill in a River, because the examples of oil spilling,on the MOHID page are at the sea,

I want to to know if this module works with equations, based in a marine environment or can be applied to rivers freely.


thanks

Yes, From what I know, you don't have any problem using use MOHID's oil spill module in rivers, although you have to take in account the properties of the oil in freshwater.

For instance, you should know OWINTERFACIALTENSION measured in fresh water, in order to determine dispersion, by Mackay method.

Cheers,
