Abstract EN
The spreading of oil in an open ocean may cause serious damage to a marine environmental system.
Thus, an accurate prediction of oil spill is very important to minimize coastal damage due to unexpected oil spill accident.
The movement of oil may be represented with a numerical model that solves an advection-diffusion-reaction equation with a proper numerical scheme.
In this study, the spilled oil dispersion model has been established in consideration of tide and tidal currents simultaneously.
The velocity components in the advection-diffusion-reaction equation are obtained from the shallow-water equations.
The accuracy of the model is verified by applying it to a simple but significant problem.
The results produced by the model agree with corresponding analytical solutions and field-observed data.
The model is then applied to predict the spreading of an oil spill in a real coastal environment.
