Key Points

  • The study aims to develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) framework for evaluating nutrient transport in offshore artificial upwelling systems.
  • Developed a full-scale CFD framework to model offshore artificial upwelling.
  • Utilized a tracer-based approach to quantify nutrient transport in plumes.
  • Assessed the influence of discharge angles on plume coverage and dilution.
  • Free-surface truncation significantly affected plume dilution and persistence.
  • Moderate discharge angles achieved a balance between plume coverage and nutrient transport.
  • Integrated metrics effectively linked hydrodynamics to nutrient delivery performance.

Abstract

• Full-scale CFD framework developed to assess offshore artificial upwelling systems. • Tracer-based approach used to quantify nutrient transport in density-driven plumes. • Free-surface truncation strongly influenced plume dilution and persistence. • Moderate discharge angles balanced downstream plume coverage and nutrient transport. • Integrated metrics linked plume hydrodynamics to nutrient delivery performance.
