Abstract

The two dimension oil spill model of Xiamen Bay will be built up by using Mike 21SA module. The "oil particles" model was used to simulate transport movement, weathering and heat transfer process of spilled oil. And the impact of typical oil spill accidents in different weather conditions and different spill sites was predicted for eight typical scenarios. The results show that the sweep range and migration path of the spilled oil is closely related to the spilling position, time, and wind. In different conditions, the sweep range and migration path has great differences.
