DEPOSE

(A Model for simulating Dissolution, Evaporation, Photo-Oxidation, Sedimentation, and Emulsification after an oil spill)

This model simulates the physical-chemical behavior of oil after a spill. In addition to advection/ diffusion, and vertical mixing of oil DEPOSE simulates oil Emulsification, Oil- sediment interaction, Evaporation, Dissolution, and Photo-oxidation.
