Abstract
AbstractThe effect of different physical and chemical properties on the hydrocarbons spreading process on the water surface is described, as well as the comparison of analytically acquired relations for the form of the boundary of the hydrocarbon spot with observed in experiments for different parameters of experiments. The equations, which define quasi-stationary form of the oil patch on water surface, are numerically solved. The experiments on the compact oil spot area growth under different physical conditions are made. The defining conditions for hydrocarbon spot spreading rate on the initial volume, viscosity and surface tension of oil are pointed. It is shown that oil spill patch area growth with time is greater in fresh water than in saline, and also depend on oil volume and properties.KeywordsPetroleumAnalytical modelSurface tensionHydrocarbon spreading
