Abstract

 A 2D transport model has been developed to predict the oil pollution resulting from river discharges. The transport module of the model computes two-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier- Stokes equations (RANS) and uses scalar transport equation to predict the motion of the oil slick. The basic processes affecting the fate of the oil spill are taken into account and parameterized in the transport model. The model is used to simulate a continuous oil release from the Volga and Ural rivers into the coastal waters of the north part of the Caspian Sea. Oil slick movement and risk of contamination of the coastline by beaching oil spills are illustrated for different wind conditions.
