Abstract:
This version of the Texas A&M Oil spill (Outfall) Calculator (TAMOC) was modified from TAMOC version 0.1.17 as described in the article: Gros, J., Socolofsky, S. A., Dissanayake, A. L., Jun, I., Zhao, L., Boufadel, M. C., Reddy, C. M., Arey, J. S., "Petroleum dynamics in the sea and influence of subsea dispersant injection during Deepwater Horizon", Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017. This version of TAMOC includes a plume model, aqueous dissolution, slip velocities of fluid particles, a model of the deep-water intrusion and enables two-phase fluid particles. Properties of fluid particles are updated in the model as a function of local pressure, temperature, and composition. These files model the fate of the different petroleum compounds using 279 components. The input files are parameterized with data for June 8, 2010.
