When an oil-spilling accident occurs at sea, it is of the primary importance to predict the amount of oil leakage for the swift response and decision-making. The simplest method of oil-leakage estimation is based on the hydrostatic pressure balance between oil inside the tank and seawater outside of leakage hole, that is the so-called Torricelli equilibrium relation. However, there exists discrepancy between the reality and the Torricelli relation, since the latter is obtained from the quasi-steady treatment of Bernoulli equation ignoring viscous friction. A preliminary experiment has been performed to find out the oil-leaking speed and shape. Soy-bean oil inside the inner tank was ejected into water of the outer tank through four different leakage holes to record the amount of oil leakage. Furthermore, a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method was utilized to simulate the experimental situation. The Wavier-Stokes equations were solved for two-density flow of oil and water. VOF method was employed to capture the shape of their interface. It is found that the oil-leaking speed varies due to the frictional resistance of the leakage hole passage dependent on its aspect ratio. The Torricelli factor relating the speed predicted by using the hydrostatic balance and the real leakage speed is assessed. For the present experimental setup, Torricelli factors were in the range of 35%~55% depending on the aspect ratio of leakage holes. On the other hand, CFD results predicted that Torricelli factor could be 52% regardless of the aspect ratio of the leakage holes, when the frictional resistance of leakage hole passage was neglected.

우리나라 해양에서 발생 가능한 기름유출사고를 소형 중형 대형으로 구분하여 대비 대응이 가능한 방제세력이 구축되어 있으며, 이 3단계를 구별하는 기준은 "유출량"이다. 그러나 유출량 외 반드시 고려되어야 할 요인이 누락되어 있는 실정이다. 1967년 이후 발생한 주요한 20건의 해양오염사고에서 대규모의 유출량을 발생한 해양오염사고라도 환경적으로 유출지점이 연안에서 상당한 거리에 떨어져 있을 경우에는 피해가 없거나, 거의 발생하지 않은 사고들도 포함되어 있다. 이처럼 해양에서 발생 오염사고는 오염에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 기름의 유출량뿐만 아니라 사고가 발생한 해역의 위치 등 여러 가지 요인을 복합적으로 고려하여 방제조치를 실시해야 한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 방제수행에 있어서 필요한 고려요소를 재정립하고자 한다.

Oil spill accidents can cause various environmental issues, so it is important to quickly assess the extent and changes in the area and location of the spilled oil. In the case of oil spill detection using satellite imagery, it is possible to detect a wide range of oil spill areas by utilizing the information collected from various sensors equipped on the satellite. Previous studies have analyzed the reflectance of oil at specific wavelengths and have developed an oil spill index using bands within the specific wavelength ranges. When analyzing multiple images before and after an oil spill for monitoring purposes, a significant amount of time and computing resources are consumed due to the large volume of data. By utilizing Google Earth Engine, which allows for the analysis of large volumes of satellite imagery through a web browser, it is possible to efficiently detect oil spills. In this study, we evaluated the applicability of four types of oil spill indices in the area of various land cover using Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Instrument data and the cloud-based Google Earth Engine platform. We assessed the separability of oil spill areas by comparing the index values for different land covers. The results of this study demonstrated the efficient utilization of Google Earth Engine in oil spill detection research and indicated that the use of oil spill index B ((B3+B4)/B2) and oil spill index C (R: B3/B2, G: (B3+B4)/B2, B: (B6+B7)/B5) can contribute to effective oil spill monitoring in other regions with complex land covers.

Vietnam is a marine nation with more than 3,444 km of shorelines, thousands of islands, and 2,360 rivers and canals of over 42,000 km long. As the frequency and the volume of oil transportation by ships increase, the possibility of oil spill incidents becomes higher than ever. Fuel oil and cargo oil spills at sea have widespread impact and long-term consequences on marine ecosystems, coastal resources and human health as well as socio-economy. This study is to show not only the present state of marine oil spills in Vietnam such as the number and the volume of oil spills for two decades, and an overall about Vietnamese national response system like national framework for Oil Spill Response (OSR), etc. but also to present the recommendations for enhancing national capability in response to oil spill incidents in Vietnam, especially, with a comparison of national OSR systems between Vietnam and South Korea. As the result, the number and the volume of marine oil spills in Vietnam showed an upward trend as opposed to a downward trend in South Korea. This means that Vietnam has the possibility of oil spills in coastal waters. Therefore, three main recommendations for the enhancement of national OSR capability in Vietnam are proposed as follows: (1) the development of alternative plan for reenforcing national OSR system involving legal system for preparedness and response to oil spill pollution such as the acceptance and implementation of OPRC Convention as well as the establishment of national fund compensating for the damage and loss caused by oil pollution; (2) the enhancement of a consistent reporting, alerting and monitoring system; and (3) the development of training and exercise programs with standard contents of educational courses.

해상에서 선박사고에 의한 기름 유출 시, 기름의 위치, 변화과정, 이동 특성을 신속하게 파악하고 예측하는 것은 방제전략에 있어 필수적 요소이다. 따라서 사고 이후의 유출의 현황 정보의 수집은, '유출유 대응 매뉴얼'(IMO, 1988; ITOPF, 2008) 에서 가장 우선시 되고 있다. 일반적으로 유출유 탐지는 선박, 항공기 및 인공위성을 이용한 방법이 사용되고 있으며, 최근 인공위성기술의 발전에 따라, 국제유조선선주오염방지연맹(ITOPF)에서는 인공위성 원격탐사 기술 적용을 통한 유류 모니터링 적용을 권장하고 있다 (ITOPF, 2008). 허베이스피리트호 원유유출 사고는 2007년 12월 7일 아침 7시 6분경 서해안 만리포 북서쪽 10km 해상에서 크레인을 적재한 1만1800t급 바지선이 정박 중인 홍콩 선적 유조선 허베이 스피리트호(14만6000t급)와 부딪치면서 발생했다. 국내에서는 원격탐사를 이용한 기술지원체계가 갖춰져 있지 않기 때문에, 이번 사고의 경우에도 실질적인 지원이 이루어지지 못했다. 본 연구에서는 원격탐사에 의한 유류오염 사고 시 유출유 탐지 및 추출 그리고 정보의 가시화 좌표화를 통해서 실질적인 방제지원시스템을 개발하기 위한 연구 개발의 중간보고를 하기 위한 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the analysis of disaster conflict and strategies of Conflict Management based on Case of Hebei Spirit Oil Spill Accident. For accomplishing the purpose, we analyzed process and features of conflict in area of Taean after disaster. When we overview literature study about conflict research of korea society, we know that we have no studying disaster conflict in spite of important cause of regional society conflict. Recently, we have been experienced major disaster every year. When disaster such as Case of Hebei Spirit Oil Spill Accident occurred, it is accompanied with a conflict in disaster area. So, we argue that it is important to analyzed disaster conflict and propose strategies of Conflict Management.

When a riser is damaged, the oil spills to sea. Oil spills cause huge economic losses as well as a destruction of the marine environment. To reduce losses, it is needed to predict spilled oil volume from risers and the excursion of the oil. The present paper simulated the oil spill for a damaged riser using open source libraries, called Open-FOAM. To verify numerical methods, jet flow and Rayleigh-Taylor instability were simulated. The oil spill was simulated for various damaged leak size, spilled oil volume rates, damaged vertical locations of a riser, and current speeds. From results, the maximum excursion of the spilled oil at the certain time was predicted, and a forecasting model for various parameters was suggested.
