Abstract
Front-end condition of oil slick propagating on the surface of calm water is studied by examining the existing experimental data on the front speed and carefully determined front depth. As a result, plots of the front Froude number and front Reynolds number showed almost straight line on the log-log paper. The result is applied to the two-layer model to predict the spread of oil slick propagation. Also the initial and boundary conditions of the computation for the case of instantaneous spill are inspected by referring to the shape of interface observed immediately after release in the experiments. Computed result of the front propagation is compared with the experiments of instantaneous spill.
