Simulation of oil weathering processes in marine environment
Abstract
The paper presents the application of two dimensional numerical model to simulate the oil slick spreading using finite volume approach and an oil weathering model (OWM) to consider the mass transfer processes (such as evaporation, vertical dispersion, emulsification and dissolution). Based on the most applicable expressions in the world and comparing their results and available experimental data or analytical solutions, the authors have developed the suitable equations, using the oil depreciations as sink term in oil dynamic equation to simulate the oil weathering processes, calculate the spreading and evaporation processes, and estimate the emulsification rate of the oil spill.
