Abstract

A general, two-dimensional spill model for the spread of liquids on land is developed. Evaporative and infiltrative fluxes are estimated as losses of fluid, in combination with the surface affinity depth and position-computing methods to develop time-varying spill profiles. Laboratory experimental results are used to demonstrate the validity of the computer model using water and carboxy-methyl cellulose doped-water to reflect different viscosities. Key words: surface spills, position-computing, numerical modeling, hazardous spills.
