Numerical simulation of the oil spilling diffusion in waterway engineering

Preliminary Numerical Study on Oil Spilling from a DHT

This paper reports a preliminary 3D numerical study of submerged oil spilling from a damaged Double Hull Tanker (DHT) using a VOFbased multiphase flow solver within the framework of the open-source CFD package OpenFOAM. In order to reflect the different features of two typical oil spilling scenarios, i.e. grounding and collision, two cases with spilling holes being located on the bottom and sid...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Numerical Simulation of Oil Spill in Ocean

The spreading of oil in an open ocean may cause serious damage to a marine environmental system. Thus, an accurate prediction of oil spill is very important to minimize coastal damage due to unexpected oil spill accident. The movement of oil may be represented with a numerical model that solves an advection-diffusion-reaction equation with a proper numerical scheme. In this study, the spilled o...

numerical simulation of oil spill behavior in the persian gulf

the aim of this research is to simulate oil spill behavior in the persian gulf due to the wind andtidal currents. this is achieved by coding an oil spill mathematical model consisting of several major submodels including hydrodynamic model, oil slick dynamic model and oil weathering model. the base of all of them is eulerian approach and they are coupled together to simulate spill incident in t...
