In the last fifty years thousands of oil spill accidents have occured worldwide
resulting in oil polution that threatens the marine enviroment.
The fate of spilled oil can be affected by nine physical, chemical and biological processes (weathering processes):
- advection
- spreading
- evaporation
- emulsification
- dispersion
- dissolution
- oxidation
- biodegradation
- sedimentation/sinking
SpillSolver is an application developed
in order to provide reliable results regarding
the behavior of oil once it is spilled in the sea.
