Corporate name Rijkswaterstaat Project CALPREA Date 2004-09-01 Abstract This reports presents the results of a comparative study of the following four particle/fate models: 1. DemWaq, developed by RIKZ 2. DREAM, developed by Sintef (Norway) 3. GNOME, developed by NOAA (US) 4. SIMPAR, developed by RIKZ The aim was to find a suitable operational fate model to predict the behavior and distribution of calamitous spills of oil and chemicals in the Dutch section of the continental shelf and the Dutch coastal areas. The following aspects of the models have been studied: Concepts and characteristics Functionalities (general comparison) Results for several test scenarios/experiments The most important conclusion of the report is that comprehensive possibilities and functionalities make DREAM a very promising operational model. Its main attractions are the extensive chemical and oil databases included in the model and the graphical user interface. Although DREAM does not seem to have the highest numerical accuracy, the study shows that its results are comparable with those produced by the other models.
