Response‐predictive model of oil spills in aquatic environments

Due to the inherent environmental hazards posed to our ecological system by the problem of oil spillage in aquatic media, an analytical model of this situation was derived from first principles using cylindrical co‐ordinates to predict the concentration of oil sunk in water. A computer simulation of the occurrence was done using simulated data after an explicit difference numerical formulation of the analytical model was performed. The results were found to correspond with the experimental results of Villoria et al.
