Description
Oil slicks often occur due to sea casualties and have severe environmental and ecological impacts on sea and coastal ecosystems. When the oil is leaked into the seawater it spreads forming a spill and a series of physical, chemical and biological processes take place (weathering processes), such as transport, dispersion, dissolution, evaporation, emulsification, sedimentation and biodegradation. Various mathematical models have been developed in order to describe this behavior and predict the oil spill trajectory and impacts after a sea accident for operational actions to avoid or mitigate the pollution impacts.
