The Numerical Simulation Methods on the Spread of Radionuclides in Oceans under Accident Circumstances
Japan suffered a M9.0 earthquake on March 11,2011,which caused the serious damage of Fukushima nuclear power station with the subsequent tremendous tsunami.The leaking radioactive contaminants sincerely threat the safety of marine creatures and coastal residents.Therefore,the numerical simulation on the spread of the radioactive contaminants is a challenging and necessary issue.Generally speaking,there are two major aspects to predict the spread of the leaking materials in oceans.The first aspect is applying an Oceanic General Circulation Model to simulate the transportation process of ocean itself.The second aspect is employing a numerical simulation approach (Lagrangian methods or Eulerian methods) to predict the concentration variation of the radioactive contaminants in oceans.This article reviews these two aspects,namely the popular Oceanic General Circulation Models and the simulation approaches on the spread of radionuclides in oceans.
