Persian Gulf Pollution

Modeling pollutant movement in the Persian Gulf, including advection and diffusion.

Related Fields: Environmental Engineering, Programming

Project Overview

In this project, we model a hypothetical leakage scenario in the Persian Gulf.

Problem:

What is the speed and the time of the pollution in these situations? 

1. only diffusion

2. diffusion and advection with constant speed

3. diffusion and advection with accelerating speed

Project Steps :

  • Code out the diffusion and advection.
  • Choose a color scale that clearly shows the change in the ocean.
  • Plot the figure and make the animation for better understanding the situation.

Results of The Project

Even a small amount of leakage can be very harmful.

There are 3 animated results; the third scenario is shown below.

Code Sources :

This model was built in Python.
