Regarding the duration of the source (such as oil spill)

Hi everybody, I have been using 'opendrive' for some time and its functions are really powerful and easy to use. Now I am running an oil spill model and want to add particles during the initial period of time. I want to know if it can be achieved. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am not sure exactly what you mean, but here is a illustration of how to seed elements, e.g. over a time interval https://opendrift.github.io/gallery/example_seed_demonstration.html

Here is the tutorial about seeding: https://opendrift.github.io/tutorial.html#seeding-elements
