Mathematical Model to Evaluate Behavior of Oil Spill Discharged into Tigris River

Abstract

This study included first attend in Iraq to built a mathematical model predicting the behavior oil
spill discharged into Tigris river and the fate of spill along the river. The model included many
factors such as spreading & oil spill, evaporation; emulsion shoreline closes in river sedge. The
calculations based on the geographical location of the spill & geometry of the river section also, the
model predicts the speed of Water River and its effect on the oil. Spill spreading along the river. The
model did not describe the oil spill in one equation but, it divided to steps related together to give the
single results. The model equation can be solved by computer software designed using visual basic
program to facility getting result by any use.
