Abstract

The paper below presents a computer simulation conducted by the authors, using POTENTIAL INCIDENT SIMULATOR EVALUATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM (Pisces II) software, a model program for assessing the consequences of oil pollution of the sea water. Simulation of a large number of scenarios in various emergency situations and environmental conditions is of great use to predict evolution of oil spillages, in time and space.
