A Three Dimensional Oil Spill Model

by Li Zheng,
Poojitha D. Yapa, (M.ASCE),



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: North American Water and Environment Congress & Destructive Water

Abstract:

This paper reports the development and testing of a comprehensive three-dimensional oil spill model. At present time, the model components include advection and turbulent diffusion, vertical mixing, evaporation, dissolution, and movement of oil from under water blowouts. Sample simulations show the applications of the model.
