ABSTRACT SIMAP (Spill Impact Model Application Package) is Applied Science Associates’ spill impact model system. The system is designed to simulate the fates and effects of spilled oils and fuels, to allow for an evaluation of the effectiveness of spill response activities, and to evaluate the probabilities of trajectories and resulting impacts. The physical fates and biological effects models in SIMAP are based on those in the CERCLA type A model for natural resource damage assessments (NRDAs), documented in French et al. (1996a). SIMAP may be used for real-time spill simulation, contingency planning, and natural resource damage and ecological risk assessments. The physical fates and biological effects models in SIMAP and the NRDA type A model were validated using data from 27 oil spills. The success of a model simulation depends on both the algorithms and the accuracy of the input data. The results of the validation, described herein, verify the model algorithms. The most important input data in determining accuracy of results are winds, currents, and biological abundances of the most affected species. Thus the model system, when applied with accurate environmental and biological data inputs, can quantitatively and objectively estimate the impacts of oil spills into aquatic systems.

In order to assist the water quality management in Miyun Reservoir, a spatial and dynamic simulation model system was built. In the model system, GIS was integrated with the WASP5 model. The integrated model system was then calibrated and verified in different sets of field data. The result showed that the integrated model system could characterize the Miyun Reservoir waters. Two scenarios were then designed and analyzed with the integrated model system. It was indicated that the water quality would improve if the cage fishery was banned, the algae blooms might occur in Miyun Reservoir if the low water stage ocurred but loads remained unchanged.

The last decades continuously increasing of the economical activities in the coastal environment of the Black Sea is obviously leading to the enhancement of the pollution risks due to accidental oil spillages. Starting from the fact that most accidents were generated by an inadequate forecast of the wave conditions, the aim of the present work is to develop a methodology based on spectral phase–averaging wave models able to predict the wave propagation in the coastal environment. The wave induced currents that may be a key factor in driving the pollution are also assessed. This implies both the Stokes drift and the wave induced nearshore currents. The surface streaming effect due to the molecular viscosity was also accounted for. In the nearshore, close to the surf zone, the pollution is usually spread along the coast due to the longshore currents. In this connection, the results of a simple but effective model system called ISSM are also presented. As an alternative simulations with the SHORECIRC model system are also performed. Finally, as a case study, the propagation of the pollution towards the Romanian coast generated by a hypothetic accident at the Gloria drilling platform was assessed.

Резюме Постоянно увеличивающаяся в последние десятилетия экономическая активность в прибрежной зоне Чѐрного моря ведѐт к бóльшему риску загрязнения из-за случайных разливов нефти. В связи с тем, что большая часть случаев разлива была связана с неадекватным прогнозом волнения, целью настоящей работы было разработать методологию, основанную на спектральных моделях волнения с усреднением фазы, способную предсказывать распространение волн в прибрежной зоне. Было оценено также течение, вызванное волнением, которое может стать решающим фактором в распространении загрязнения. Оно включает в себя стоксово дрейфовое течение и прибрежное течение. Учтено также поверхностное течение, вызываемое ветром через касательные напряжения. В качестве примера рассмотрено распространение в направлении румынского берега загрязнения, вызванного гипотетической аварией на буровой платформе Глория.
