Sosmar

Software for Oil Spill Movement And Removal

 

What is SOSMAR?

 

SOSMAR is a software, developed by our research group, able to simulate the evolution of oil spills 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 the oil will reach the coast. Characteristics of the oil (e.g., viscosity, density, or emulsification). The oil mass balance (e.g., evaporated, or dispersed fraction)

 

 

This software has been applied to perform several works related to oil spills simulations and risk analysis for companies and agencies from different parts of the world.  Some publication related to those works can be found at: https://www.ucm.es/momat/oil-spills
