3 years ago Hi,
Yes, biodegradation was only implemented in OpenDrift relatively recently. The algorithm is very simple: https://github.com/OpenDrift/opendrift/blob/master/opendrift/models/openoil.py#L336 Biodegradation is switched off by default, as it is not important for short term simulations, but is activated with:
o.set_config('processes:biodegradation', True)Dissolution is not yet implemented, as it is also not very important for short term simulations.
Hello there,
I saw in the source code of OpenOil that Oil Biodegradation can be predicted by Opendrift, although I couldn't find in Opendrift publications any discussion about that. In addition, I couldn't find any information about the dissolution process. In OpenDrift v1.0: a generic framework for trajectory modeling publication, I had the impression that the dissolution process implementation would happen anytime soon.
I would like to know if there should be any command-line for these issues or if the software runs it anyway.
Many thanks!
