Impact Prediction Using Oil-Spill Simulation in Yantai West Harbor Dock

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the oil slick pervasion theory and hydrodynamic model, a risk prediction model was established for the oil-spill simulation in open-ocean coastal port. The model was calibrated with the typical hydrological and meteorological data of the study area, to predict the environmental impact on Yantai west harbor dock. The results indicate that on account of the wind from south-south-west and south-west, the spilled oil will reach the shore in 2 hours and 4 hours respectively, the spreading range can be controlled in Zhifu Bay dock basin. But under the condition of westerly winds, oil slick will drift out of the dock basin in 2 hours, affecting two ecological fragile areas in 6 hours and 12 hours successively, which means a significant risk for open-ocean area.
