Numerical Modeling of Spilled Oil Seasonal Transport Processes Into Georgian Coastal Zone of the Black Sea

Abstract

In this study, spreading of the oil pollution in the Georgian Black Sea coastal zone on the basis of a 2-D numerical model of distribution of oil pollution is simulated. The model is based on a transfer-diffusion equation with taken into account reduction of oil concentrations because of physical - chemical processes. The splitting method is used for solution of the transfer-diffusion equation. Numerical experiments are carried out for different hypothetical sources of pollution in case of different sea circulation regimes dominated for the four seasons the Georgian Black Sea coastal zone. Some results of numerical experiments are presented. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.
