open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi, I need to work with some case that studies thermal plumes. I have been searching a lot for a case like that but the results are dissapointing. If any of you can bring me some contour and bathymetrics for this kind of examples I will apreciate it a lot! Thanks for the trouble, I hope you guys can help me with this

Hi

For studies of Thermal plumes, you should use Telemac-3D instead of Telemac-2d as the buoyancy effects are often important to take in account and badly represented with the depth average of Telemac-2D...

Hello

for shallow water flows, 2D models can be well adapted for thermal plumes.
As said by Christophe, 3D models have to used when 3D effects (mainly buoyancy and 3D hydrodynamics) are non-negligeable.

To start with Telemac-2D, you can have a glance on test case Pildepon (examples/telemac2d), which gives the way to use tracers with Telemac-2d. You can see also see test-case waq2d_thermic (examples/waqtel) which gives an (very simple) example of flow coupled with temperature and heat exchange with atmosphere. The same case exists in 3D and is called heat_exchange.

I hope that this helps

with my best regards

Hello,

I also want to work with thermal plume study. I have seen that there is an example named pildepon in telemac2d folder. The documentation for the same and for test-case waq2d_thermic (examples/waqtel), is unavailable. Can anyone suggest what each file represents and other parameters which are present in the Telemac. The doc which is available for pildepon case is a tex file and for waq2d_thermic case there is no tex file present.

Thank You!
