Abstract:The developments and state-of-art of oil spill modeling is summarized,focusing primarily in the recentyears.Oil spill model is a complex system including different numbers of sub-modules,which are used to simulate the transport and fate of spilled oil in and on the water respectively.Typically,it has three main modules:input module,transport module and fate module.More attention is paid on the methods of oil transport module and fate module.The commonly-used numerical methods are evaluated,such as Eulerian,Lagrangian and Eulerian-Lagrangian approach,especially for the Lattice Boltzmann method.
