Several oil spill simulation models exist in the literature, which are used worldwide to
simulate the evolution of an oil slick created from marine traffic, petroleum production, or …

There is a huge risk of contamination of water bodies due to the various oil exploration,
transport, and industrial operational activities that are taking place across the world. Physical …

Offshore oil spills are of tremendous concern due to their potential impact on economic and
ecological systems. A number of major oil spills triggered worldwide consciousness of oil …

OpenDrift is an open-source Python-based framework for Lagrangian particle modelling
under development at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute with contributions from the …

Over the past century, the demand for petroleum products has increased rapidly, leading to
higher oil extraction, processing and transportation, which result in numerous oil spills in …

More than 20% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and almost all of Qatar's
drinking water production originate from three industrial sites on Qatar's eastern coast. They …

This paper describes details of an oil spill model, OILTRANS, developed by the authors. The
model is an off-line particle-transport model coupled to the most up to date operational met …

Transport characteristics of oil slicks are reported from a controlled release experiment
conducted in the North Sea in June 2015, during which mineral oil emulsions of different …

The purpose of this paper is the development of a hybrid particle tracking/Eulerian–
Lagrangian approach for the simulation of spilled oil in coastal areas. Oil discharge from the …

Vertical and horizontal transport mechanisms for marine oil spills are investigated using
numerical model simulations. To realistically resolve the 3-D development of a spill on the …
