A Numerical Investigation of the Plunging Phenomenon of Cold Water Discharged from Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Systems

The main role of cold water discharged from ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems is that deep ocean water, which is dense and nutrient-rich, is released through the condenser and discharged into the ocean surface. We present a numerical simulation in which a cold-water is discharged into a...
