Influence of Surfactant Concentration and Temperature Gradients on Spreading of Crude-Oil at Sea*
Spreading kinetics measurements were carried out on crude oils surfactant-containing sea water of well-controlled thermo elastic surface properties in laboratory conditions. It was found that oil lens expansion rates, predicted from the classical surface tension-driven spreading theory, were higher...
