SIMULATION OF OIL SPILL MOVEMENT IN COASTAL WATERS
A numerical model for simulating the movement of accidental oil spill in coastal waters has been developed and applied to study its fate. The Oil Spill model is based on analytical formulation considering different parameters that govern the transport and spreading of oil slick such as advection, turbulent diffusion, evaporation and mechanical spreading. Advection is simulated by a Lagrangian algorithm (i.e. tracking the movement of centre of gravity of oil slick under the action of wind and tides in coastal areas). The model has been applied for two different site conditions, one at New Mangalore Port where the tidal currents are weak and another at Sikka creek in Gulf of Kachchh where the tidal currents are strong. The present paper discusses the model and its applications to predict the trajectory as well as the spread of the oil slick under different environmental conditions.
