Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical modelling of the thermal discharge on the aquatic environment under various operational capacities of TPP, which is solved by the equations of Navier - Stokes and temperature for an incompressible fluid in a stratified medium based on the method of splitting by physical parameters that can be discretize by the control volume method. In the first step intermediate velocity field is solved by 5-step Runge - Kutta method. At the second stage Poisson equation for the pressure field is solved by Jacobi method. Finally at the third step is assumed that the transfer is carried out only by pressure gradient. The fourth step of the temperature equation is also solved as motion equations. The obtained numerical results of three-dimensional stratified turbulent flow reveals qualitatively and quantitatively approximate the basic laws of hydrothermal processes occurring in the aquatic environment.
