Integrated Numerical Modeling of Oil Spills-Sediment Transport by FVM Method

An Integrated 2DH numerical model based on Eulerian approach including hydrodynamics, suspended sediment transport and oil-slick transport modules has been developed. FVM method and ADI (Alternating Direction Implicit) scheme have been employed for disceritization and solving governing equations. The second order Lax-Wendrof and second order central difference schemes have been used for advective and diffusive terms respectively. Multiphase oil spill model (MOSM) approach has been taken to simulate oil slick and flow interaction. All three modules of the numerical model have been validated against experimental data.
