  • Abstract
    In order to improve the quality of monitoring the accidents that occurred during the deepwater drilling process, such as oil spill and leakage in seabed wellheads which possess horrible threat to the sea environment and living environment of mankind, and to predict the pollution area of oil spill in seabed wellheads, we apply mathematical model for the research of the spilled oil droplets transport model of the seabed wellheads, simulate the upward floating process of oil droplets under the influence of buoyancy, ocean currents force etc, and calculate the required time and distance of the oil droplets moving from seabed to sea level. We also analysis and compare the required time and floating distance of oil droplets with different diameters and under the influence of different water depth and water speed, providing theoretical evidence for the monitoring and identification of seabed oil spilled accidents.
