Abstract Oil spills continue to generate various issues and concerns regarding their effect and behavior in the marine environment, owing to the related potential for detrimental environmental, economic and social implications. It is
essential to have a solid understanding of the ways in which oil interacts with the water and the coastal ecosystems
that are located nearby. This study proposes a simplified model for predicting the plume-like transport behavior
of heavy Bunker C fuel oil discharging downward from an acutely-angled broken pipeline located on the water
surface. The results show that the spill overall profile is… More >
