A Comparison of Four Particle Models: A Comparison of DemWaq, DREAM, GNOME and SIMPAR

This reports presents the results of a comparative study of the following four particle/fate models: 1. DemWaq, developed by RIKZ 2. DREAM, developed by Sintef (Norway) 3. GNOME, developed by NOAA (US) 4. SIMPAR, developed by RIKZ The aim was to find a suitable operational fate model to predict the behavior and distribution of calamitous spills...

Comparison of 5 oil-weathering models

Within the project CALPREA at RIKZ application of reliable oil spill models and oil data bases is an important issue. An oil spill model contains in general a transport module, an oil weathering module, an oil data base, and possibly a user-friendly graphical user interface. Recently, de Jong (2004) has made a study of four particle models for...
