Numerical analysis of tsunami-triggered oil spill from industrial parks in Osaka Bay
Oil storage tanks in industrial parks were heavily damaged by a large-scale tsunami, and large-scale oil spill occurred, which led to a fire. Moreover, it was found that mud samples in these regions had a high level of oil contamination after the disaster, showing that the tsunami triggered high turbid water mixed with spill oil and deposited on the sea bottom. For industrial zones around the coastal line with the potential for tsunamis, the building of a scenario of a tsunami-triggered oil spill from these industrial parks is urgently needed for planning the ship evacuating routes and the evacuation of residences nearby. This was carried out by numerical simulations of two-phase flow around the industrial parks. The results could build a scenario of a tsunami-triggered oil spill from industrial zones and could help to add the oil spill effect in reviewing the risk management of industrial zones around the coastal line.
