Studies of Oil Encapsulation and Entrainment in Sea Ice

Abstract

Oil reaching the underside of sea ice after a blow-out is able to spread laterally, governed by buoyancy and surface tension, under-ice topography, and currents. However, the possibility of lateral spread and the direct contact with the ocean are inhibeted once oil begins to get encapsulated by the advancing ice front.
