Seawater Material Tables

For seawater, these libraries are available:

• Two versions of LibSeaWa by Prof. Kretzschmar (Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences)
• Lib-Saltwater (Ebsilon-development, based on data from the University of Bremen, with limited scope)

The functions of LibSeaWa correspond to those of the water/steam table. Only the salinity is added as a further parameter. The maximum permissible salt content is 200 g / kg with LibSeaWa 2013.

Lib-Saltwater is only valid for temperatures above 10 °C.

Which table is to be used for saltwater has be set in the model settings under Simulation / Substance Properties for the entire model (@calcoptions.sim.saltwatertable):

• LibSeaWa 2013 (default)
• deprecated: LibSeaWa 2009 (for backwards compatibility)
• deprecated: Lib-Saltwater (for backwards compatibility)
