Two-dimensional numerical model of the nearfield flow for an ocean thermal power plant. Part 3: Manual for the computer code NRFL02
Abstract
A user's manual for the computer code NRFL 02 is presented which has been developed to calculate the near field stratified turbulent flow driven by the intakes and outflows of an ocean thermal power plant. The code uses a two dimensional geometry and a four parameter first order turbulence closure model. Sophisticated numerical methods enable convergent and accurate solutions to be obtained rapidly and economically. A large and feasible printer output package provides for the display and interpretation of the results.
