Written by outstanding experts in the fields of marine engineering atmospheric physics and
chemistry fluid dynamics and applied mathematics the contributions in this book cover a wide
range of subjects from pure mathematics to real-world applications in the oil spill
engineering business. Offering a truly interdisciplinary approach the authors present both
mathematical models and state-of-the-art numerical methods for adequately solving the partial
differential equations involved as well as highly practical experiments involving actual cases
of ocean oil pollution. It is indispensable that different disciplines of mathematics like
analysis and numerics together with physics biology fluid dynamics environmental
engineering and marine science join forces to solve today's oil pollution problems. The book
will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students in the environmental sciences
mathematics and physics showing the broad range of techniques needed in order to solve these
pollution problems and to practitioners working in the oil spill pollution industry offering
them a professional reference resource.
