The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has attracted considerable worldwide attention. Over the last few days at Deltares a lot of work has gone into setting up a simulation which can be used to predict how the oil will spread out over the course of time in the area. This is a first test in order to see if our predictions agree with observational data (for example, from satellites). If this is the case, then the models could be very useful aids for giving an insight into the outcome of proposed measures (spraying with dispersal agents, burning off, mechanical clearance, oil booms, etc). After all it could last weeks or even months until the leaking oil source is closed off.
