Abstract

An oil spill model based on MIKE 21 software was established to investigate the oil slick movement if spill occurs during the construction of the navigation channel in Aiwan Cove in Zhejiang Province, China. The model was calibrated with the tidal level and current speed and direction measurements in the project area in 2013. Furthermore, the effect of oil fence and absorption felt on the controlling of oil spill was analysed using the established model. The results indicated that the oil slick movement was largely controlled by the local current, wind velocity and spill occurrence moment. Both the oil fence and adsorption felt can significantly control the impact of the accident, with oil fence slightly more effectively.
