Abstract
The shipping volume in inland waterways has been rapidly increasing in recent years. However, it is still challenging to trace oil spills caused by maritime accidents. In this study, the oil spill dispersion trajectory in inland rivers was obtained by simulating the trajectory of oil particles under different waterway conditions based on a simulated flow field. Firstly, the flow field was simulated using a volume of fluid (VOF) model and the solution of an open-channel equation. Then, an oil particle diffusion and drift model was established using Python to simulate the diffusion of the oil. Finally, eight oil spill simulation scenarios were conducted with different channel shapes and cross-sections. The results showed that oil spills spread more extensively in a curved channel with a trapezoidal cross-section compared to other channel shapes and cross-sections. The findings of this research could be used to guide inland river environmental protection and oil spill trajectory tracking.
