[MITgcm-support] ALLOW_ADDFLUID option and U,V momentum equation

Hi All,
 
We have been customizing the 4x4 global ocean simulation (tutorial_global_oce_latlon) to include sources/sinks  using the ALLOW_ADDFLUID option. Checking with grep " ALLOW_ADDFLUID"  *.F,  it seems that  sources do not explicitly appear in the U or V momentum equations.  If indeed these equations are formally unchanged when the source/sink switch is on,  are we correct assuming that this version of MITgcm does not have a provision for (input) source momentum? A source could have an initial vertical momentum as well, 
although such cases may be more relevant for non-hydrostatic runs.
 
Thanks a lot
Kumar
