Abstract
In recent years, the expansion of marine oil and gas transport has led to the increase of oil spill accidents. Both accidents occurring in deep sea and coastal regions can bring huge financial losses. As the development of ocean model, oil spill model has been proposed and became a valid countermeasure to simulate the process of transport, diffusion and transformation of the surface oil in seawater. This paper presents an oil spill model with a novel cross-platform (Windows/Linux) architecture. This model can not only compute oil concentration mathematically and numerically, but also can draw oil spill concentration maps with pseudo color, by using computer visualization technique. The tendency of transport, diffusion and transformation of oil could be illustrated in chronological order by the concentration maps. Furthermore, an oil spill simulation case has been accomplished, and the simulation results is discussed in this paper. Results showed that this model could simulate oil slick motions effectively and had friendly user interface.
