Validation of Effective Models for Simulation of Thermal Stratification and Mixing Induced by Steam Injection into a Large Pool of Water

<div>Comparison of different cases of EHS/EMS simulations: (a) Case 1 corresponds to the minimum momentum rate with uniform heat flux on the pipe’s submerged surface, (b) Case 2a corresponds to a chosen momentum rate between the minimum and maximum values with also uniform heat flux on the pipe’s submerged surface, (c) Case 2b is the same as Case 2a except that the heat flux shifts from the pipe’s submerged surface to the pipe’s exit, and (d) Case 3 corresponds to the maximum momentum rate with also uniform heat flux on the pipe’s submerged surface.</div>
