Abstract
In this work, we use an Eulerian mathematical model to forecast the movement of oil spills in the open sea and we design objective functions to obtain optimal trajectories for skimmer ships to clean and recover the oil. Here, we first validate the ability of this mathematical model to forecast the fate of the oil by comparing our results with satellite images. Then, we create a synthetic study case based on real data, and we show that following optimal trajectories greatly improves the amount of oil recovered at the whole area of study.
