With the construction of reservoirs in China, inland waterway conditions have been greatly improved. The number of ships and tankers navigated in the inland waterways significantly increased which may lead to an increased risk of oil spill accidents. Oil pollution is one of the major threats to economy and ecosystem. To date research on oil spill is mainly focus on marine environment, however it is very limited on inland river. The purpose of this study is to combine our previous liner experimental study of characteristic of spread and transport of oil spill to develop a coupled two-dimensional oil spill model. An oil trajectory model has been conducted and applied for water surface spread simulation in the Luoqi reach of Yangtze River. The results can provide a reference for the prediction of spread and transport of oil spill in inland waterway.
