heal.abstract A great amount of petroleum is transported by cargo ships and pipelines through the marine environment. Moreover, the increase in offshore oil exploration, and the drilling and production activities enhance the potential for oil spills that, due to oil toxicity, cause great damage to marine ecosystems. Assessment of the impact of an oil spill on the marine environment is often based on mathematical models, that are, more or less, phenomenological in nature. This paper describes briefly a deterministic model developed to simulate the time-dependent behavior of hypothetical oil spills near coastal regions. The model capabilities are demonstrated by applying it in two regions of different topography and bathymetry, in the framework of impact assessment studies. These two regions are near Carava, at the island of Lesvos, and near Eretria, in the Evvoikos bay, both being in the Aegean sea. The model solves a set of partial-differential equations for transient, two-phase, turbulent flow, heat and mass transfer handling various aspects of the physical, chemical and biological processes that govern the behavior of oil slicks at sea. The model has also incorporated the influence of breaking waves on oil slicks, in terms of oil natural dispersion in the water column and other slick aspects. en
