Applying Genetic Algorithm to minimize the oil spill damage and optimize the location of the cleaning vessels

To optimize the capacity and positioning of the cleaning vessels, Genetic Algorithm is used for ports and coastal areas in the Persian Gulf due to economical and environmental damages. Local wind is recognized as the principal driving force to simulate the trajectory of oil spill events. In this regard, the wind field is determined by Weibull probability distribution to adjust the prevailing wind. The wind field is combined to the water current to determine the transportation and fate of the contaminants to obtain a model using Kelvin wave expansion. By using the results, optimization of the oil contaminant on the Persian Gulf and the characteristics of the vessels such as speed and cleaning capacity are invoked to present the qualitative results.
