Abstract

In the paper with the purpose of modeling and forecasting of oil spill transport in the Georgian Black Sea coastal zone the 2-D oil dispersion model is included in the regional forecasting system of the Black Sea state as a separate module. The model is based on solution of advection-diffusion equation for nonconservative admixture by using of the two-cycle splitting method with respect to spatial coordinates. The numerical experiments showed the essential contribution of advection and turbulent diffusion to peculiarities of spatial-temporal distribution of  oil concentrations.
