Sub-Oceanic Volcanic Activity | ANSYS Fluent Training
The present project investigates the volcanic activity under the oceans. The eruptions occurring under the water surface can have various applications in oceanography and ocean engineering. Predicting the oceans’ behavior can be of great importance. Predicting the oceans’ behavior under such extreme conditions can provide huge data for meteorological, and weather forecasting sciences while preventing natural disasters such as tsunami.
In this project, the multiphase VOF model has been used to model an ocean under which multiple volcanos are erupting. Open channel flow along with Open channel wave boundary submodel is enabled to model the waves moving on the surface of water by enabling shallow/intermediate waves submodel.
One type of wave has been introduced into the domain using fifth order stokes wave theory. Evaporation and condensation mass transfer using Lee model is also enabled to predict the volume of vapor generated to due immense temperatures that occur on the time of volcanic eruption and the hydrodynamic effects of such eruptions and vapor generation is investigated over the oceans’ wave pattern.
