Modeling of oil spill dispersion to improve management system for environmental protection of Port Rajee, Iran

In the transfer of oil products from tanker to terminal the oil may spill from ruptured pipes, corroded valves and connectors and old equipment which may pollute water and air. Rajaee Port in the Persian Gulf is an important terminal for the Bandar Abbas Oil Refining Company (BAORCO). The major goa...

The General NOAA Oil Modeling Environment (GNOME) model is used for oil spill pollution in the sea and the Areal Location Of Hazardous Atmosphere (ALOHA) is applied to identify the trajectory of the evaporated oil spill through the air.
