Mathematical Modeling of Oil Spill Dispersion in Marine Waters

Abstract

During the extraction and transportation of oil in marine waters, oil spills may occur. It not only caused serious pollution in some sea areas but also have a grave impact on the marine environment. Studying the oil dispersion pattern is important for addressing oil spills accurately and timely. Therefore, through the mathematical knowledge, such as continuity equation and momentum equation, we establish a mathematical model for the dispersion of oil spills in marine water. The methods that are used include data statistics, construction of graphs and charts, example analogy, hierarchical analysis, and random calculation. The research and analysis are conducted for the oil spill process in marine oil fields.
