Abstract

The paper covers the development of an algorithm for modeling the pollutant distribution dynamics in shallow water and its implementation on a high-performance computer system in a limited time. A mathematical model of the pollutant transport, including oil and petroleum products, in the water environment has been developed taking into account a number of determining hydrodynamic and hydrophysical factors, including destruction and deposition, affecting the nature of their flow. Methods of its numerical implementation have been developed for prediction the pollution spread in shallow waters in limited time on a high-performance computer system. The main advantage of it in predictive modeling of environment processes and phenomena is taking into account the multidisciplinary nature of real processes, the complex geometry of simulated domain, ensuring high accuracy of calculations, performing a large number of calculations in a short time. Simulation of the pollutant transport of various etiologies was performed taking into account a number of determining factors, including their structure and deposition on the bottom surface, on the basis of the developed software and algorithmic tools. It used a scenario approach that meets the basic principles of effective predictive modeling in water systems. The simulation results are the foundation for planning and conducting measures to prevent and eliminate the consequences of technogenic hazards.
