Surface Dynamics of Crude and Weathered Oil in the Presence of Dispersants: Numerical Simulation

Numerical experiments were conducted using an advanced high-resolution, non-hydrostatic 3D multi-phase model, incorporating capillary forces (ANSYS Fluent computational fluid dynamics software). These numerical simulations reproduced the spreading and contraction (due to the application of dispersant) of crude and machine oil on the surface of the water. These simulations were conducted from September to November 2015.
