Title: | Oil Spills in Coastal Zones: Predicting Slick Transport and Weathering Processes | Authors: | Carmo, J. Antunes do Pinho, J. L. Vieira, J. P. |
Keywords: | Coastal zones; Oil spills; Numerical simulation; Case study | Issue Date: | 2010 | Publisher: | Bentham Open | Citation: | CARMO, J. Antunes do; PINHO, J. L.; VIEIRA, J. P. - Oil Spills in Coastal Zones: Predicting Slick Transport and Weathering Processes. "The Open Ocean Engineering Journal". ISSN 1874-835X. Vol. 3 (2010) p. 129-142 | Serial title, monograph or event: | The Open Ocean Engineering Journal | Abstract: | This paper presents some considerations about environmental consequences of the spills and also about oil spill detection and control. Afterwards, it presents a computational structure that has been developed to forecast the time-space evolution of oil spills in marine environments. This structure was developed based on widely used mathematical formulations for oil spreading and weathering processes. It uses depth-averaged currents obtained from a two-dimensional and/or a quasi-three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, and net wave velocities obtained analytically. A Lagrangian transport model or, alternatively, a Eulerian transport model is used to predict the oil slick transport and spread. General characteristics of the computational structure and the results of its application to two real case studies - the “Cercal” accident on October 1994, and the “New World” tanker accident on December 1994 - are presented. Comparisons of numerical results with measured data are shown and a brief discussion about the computational structure performance is also presented. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/14301 | ISSN: | 1874-835X | DOI: | 10.2174/1874835x01003010129 | Rights: | openAccess |
