A DYNAMIC DATA-DRIVEN APPLICATION SIMULATION MODEL FOR OIL SPILL EMERGENCY DECISION IN PORT WATER AREA

In order to solve the difficulty in simulation and prediction the evolution of oil spill incidents in port water area caused by system complexity and environment variety, a simulation model based on Dynamic Data-Driven Application System (DDDAS) was developed. By assimilating real-time data, simulation model can update its initial condition and solutions, and modify its parameters. Firstly, the framework for DDDAS-based simulation model was designed. Then the method for mapping of real-time data to simulation model, the method for recovery of initial data for DDDAS, and the algorithms to simulate the behavior of oil spill were studied. Finally, numerical tests were provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed model. Results indicate that the DDDAS-based simulation method can improve the prediction accuracy of oil spill incidents.
