🌊 Hydrothermal Vent — 2D Buoyant Plume Rise and Spreading Layer

2D companion of the hydrothermal vent sim: the Morton-Taylor-Turner integral plume model in a linearly stratified ocean, with live velocity, radius and buoyancy-flux profiles, checked against the pure-plume similarity solution and the F^(1/4) N^(-3/4) scaling law.
