When oil spills occur in the ocean because of a ship collision or grounding, the oil in the sea will spread to the coastline. To effectively and promptly prevent such an oil spread, the prediction of the direction and speed of the spreading oil must be made. By applying the coastal wave diffusion theory with a consideration of the effects of wind and current, the oil spreading direction and speed can be predicted promptly so that the National Disaster Prevention System can effectively and promptly take countermeasures against the attack and contamination of the coastline by such oil bands.

In this paper, oil spreading simulation model is proposed for analyzing the oil spreading phenomenon rapidly when the ocean is polluted by the oil from a stranded ship. The space occupied by the ocean is converted into the latticed cell, and the each cell contains the information, such as the quantity of the oil, the temperature of the ocean, and the direction of current and wind. Two states, such as "clean" and "polluted" are defined in the each cell, and the oil in the cell spreads to the neighbor cells by the spreading rules. There are three spreading rules. First, the oil in the certain cell only spreads to the neighbor cells that contain larger oil than the certain cell. Second, the oil evaporates in proportion to the temperature of the ocean at the every time step. Third, the oil spreading property is affected by the direction and the speed of the current and the wind. The oil spreading simulation model of the each cell is defined by using the combined discrete event and discrete time simulation model architecture with the information and the spreading rules in the cell. The oil spreading simulation is performed when the oil of 10,000 kL is polluted in the ocean environment of 300 m by 300 m with various current and wind.

This study evaluated the efficiency of an oil fence and spreading devices for one vessel in a towing tank. A series of model experiments and numerical calculations were conducted using an existing oil fence for two vessels and a new method for one vessel. Models of the oil fence and spreading devices were constructed on $1/20^{th}$ scale from waterproofed nylon fabric and canvas. The tensions acting on the model of the oil fences and the horizontal distance between the spreading devices were calculated numerically while the oil fences were being towed. The results were extremely close to the results of the model experiments. The ratio of the opening width to the total length of the oil fence, which shows the efficiency of the oil fence for one vessel, was 49.7% in 0.4 m/sec. Therefore, the proposed oil fence system should be very useful for oil containment at sea. As the opening width of the oil fence is not proportional to the length of the towing rope, it may be reasonable to maintain the towing rope at approximately 100 m. Furthermore, a reasonable towing speed, when operating the oil fence for one vessel equipped with spreading devices, was within 0.4 m/sec.

지난 2014.4.4.(금)14:50, 울산소재 대형 옥외저장탱크에 원유 충전 중 누출사고가 발생하여 사고현장에 긴급구조통제단이 가동됐다. 사고업체, 소방기관 및 유관기관이 지휘소에 모여 대응과 수습방안을 논의한 뒤 전원차단 및 시설작동금지, 가스농도 측정, 유증기 발생 억제, 누출 원유를 타탱크와 공정과정으로 이송, 해양오염 방지조치 등의 협업체계를 구축하여 수습하였다. 이 수습과정에서 유증기 발생방지와 점화원 차단을 가장 중시하여 조치함으로써 사고업체와 소방기관이 가장 우려했던 폭발과 화재사고는 발생하지 않았다. 이에 본 연구는 일반적인 재난의 긴급구조통제단과는 달리 운영해야 할 옥외탱크의 유류 누출, 폭발 및 화재 시의 긴급구조통제단 운영체계개선을 제시하고, 옥외탱크 유류 누출로 인한 폭발과 화재사고로 전이했을 경우를 가정한 방유제 바닥 종류에 따른 화염 확산속도와 연소시간을 실험 비교하였다. 또한, 소방차 포 노즐의 방사각도와 펌프압력에 따른 방사거리와 포의 도포면적을 실험 분석하여, 이후 옥외저장탱크의 유류 누출로 인한 폭발과 화재 시를 대비한 효과적인 현장대응과 수습방안을 제시하는 데 중점을 두었다.
