Abstract

Accompanied by the rapid development of offshore oil exploitation and utilization, what’s more, the oil spilled in deep sea will cause much larger pollution of water body than that occurred in the sea surface. The diffusion range can provide timely information for the handling of the oil spill accidents. Based on the problem of oil diffusion in oil pipeline, the mathematical model was established, the software FLUENT was used to conduct numerical simulation of oil spill diffusion on the seabed, finite volume method multiphase flow equations of the model and the standardized k-ε turbulence model are introduced, and PISO algorithm calculates the flow field, and the related factors influencing the distribution of oil and water in the two phases after oil spill from the submarine pipeline reached the sea surface were studied.
