Development and Calibration of an Oil Spill Behavior Model.

An oil spill behavior model has been developed which describes the changing area, thickness and physical properties of spills of Prudhoe Bay Crude Oil, No. 2 fuel (home heating) oil and No. 4 (heavy) fuel oil under Arctic marine conditions. The oil properties calculated are density, viscosity, pour...
