Abstract

The paper covers the influence of petroleum hydrocarbons on the oxygen regime of a shallow water, as well as on zooplankton populations sensitive to lack of oxygen and oil pollution even at their low concentrations. A mathematical model of biological kinetics is constructed taking into account the number of abiotic and biotic factors that directly affect the water ecosystem: the movement of the water environment, microturbulent diffusion, temperature regime, illumination, wind stresses, salinity, concentration of oxygen dissolved in water. The model is implemented in a software focused on a high-performance computer system. Nonlinear dependences in the rate of growth of zooplankton concentrations are introduced, taking into account the influence of oil pollution. This makes it possible to determine their dynamics in conditions of insufficient oxygen supply with spatial and temporal variability of temperature and illumination. The problem discretization is based on the difference scheme that takes into account the partial occupancy of the computational cells. This made it possible to increase the simulation accuracy of hydrobiological processes and phenomena
