The DeepWater Horizon Oil Slick: Simulations of River Front Effects and Oil Droplet Size Distribution

The DeepWater Horizon Oil Slick: Simulations of River Front Effects and Oil Droplet Size Distribution

The effect of river fronts on oil slick transport has been shown using high resolution forcing models and a fully fledged oil drift model, OpenOil. The model was used to simulate two periods of the 2010 DeepWater Horizon oil spill. Metocean forcing data were taken from the data-assimilative GoM-HYCO...
