Software for Oil Spill Movement And
Removal
What is SOSMAR?
SOSMAR
is a software, developed in Matlab and available in
standalone and Matlab versions, used to simulate the
evolution of oil spills in sea and perform a risk analysis of possible affected
areas. For instance, it helps to estimate:
· Geographical areas in sea and coast that will be
affected.
· When and how many oil will reach the coast.
· Characteristics of the oil (e.g., viscosity and density).
