[MITgcm-support] How does the ALLOW_ADDFLUID option work?‏

[Angela Marie Zalucha]

The basics of adding a fluid source/sink are:

in CPP_OPTIONS.h, add #define ALLOW_ADDFLUID

in set_defualts.h, set selectAddFluid = 1

then the dynamic variable addMass controls fluid sources and sinks in the 
fluid domain (units are kg/s) and you should set it according to your 
particular problem.
