On Two-Dimensional Temperature Modeling

Abstract

The paper is intended to provide the theoretical and practical framework for a two-dimensional temperature model. The motivation for this study is provided by the existence, at Rand, of a general two-dimensional flow- reaction simulation model developed by J. Leendertse and E. Gritton. The vertically integrated mass balance equations of the simulation model are discussed and shown to apply to temperature modeling. Terms contributing to the total heat flux across the water surface are described and approximated by empirical relations which, in turn, are integrated into the temperature model through an equilibrium temperature and heat exchange coefficient.
