  • Abstract
    A model for oil spreading on sea is developed based on forces acting in the horizontal dimension. It consists of conservation laws for volume and momentum. The model is valid for a complex slick geometry, and is suitable for coupling to a discrete element ice model or other complex boundaries, for example coast lines. The numerical interpretation of the model is based on a finite difference approach.
