Oil Spill Occurrence, Simulation, and Behavior

About this book

Oil Spill Occurrence, Simulation, and Behavior provides practical insight into oil spills and their causes, impacts, response and cleanup methods, simple and advanced modeling of oil spill behavior, and oil spill simulation techniques.

  • Discusses various sources of oil spills and major accidents


  • Includes case studies on the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, including environmental, economic, and political impacts, modeling and behavior as well as response and cleanup methods


  • Introduces some commercial softwares on predicting oil movement and spreading on water


  • Describes properties and characteristics of crude oil and its products needed for simulation and prediction of behavior of an oil slick


  • Written as an applied book with minimal math and theory, making it accessible to a wide range of readers


  • The book includes more than 100 unique and informative images in color


This essential book is aimed at professionals, academics, and scientists in the fields of chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, marine and ocean engineering working on the simulation and modeling, mitigation, and prevention of oil spills.
