Case1.
Current measurements were undertaken using a drogue system and a GPS, leading tocurrents in the order of 0.5to 0.7m/s in a coast parallel direction (southeast to northwestalongthereefmargin).
Following parameter inputs are considered to evaluate design of outfall for thefollowingaspects:

The solid line in the Ambient Properties panel plots the stratification in sigma T units (forexample, 24 sigma T is equivalent to 1024kgnr). It can be seen how the plume elementchangesitsbuoyancy(comparepointdensitytoambientdensityatthesamedepth)asitrisesthroughthetrappinglevel,thepointatwhichtheaverageplumedensityandambientdensityare equivalent. As the plume element possesses upward momentum at this point it passesthrough this level and becomes negatively buoyant. The negative buoyancy above thetrapping level decelerates the plume element, reducing the vertical velocity of the elementuntil the vertical velocity reverses and the plume falls back towards the trapping level. Thesimulation passes through maximum rise and is continued to the next trapping level.Subsequent trapping levels vary slightly because entertainment continues to change theaveragedensityoftheelement.
