Abstract:

Oil droplet transport due to waves and buoyancy was simulated. In each simulation, 500 particles were released into the sea and tracked for 4.0 hours. The ensemble properties of the oil plume were characterized by using a Monte Carlo approach. The dataset includes the simulation results such as particle positions, plume centroid, variances of the plume centroid and spreading coefficient.
