The article considers the process of axisymmetric and one-dimensional spreading (e.g., spill is in a river mouth or canal) of oil products in Arctic conditions, in particular on the ice surface. The dynamics of crude oil and motor oil slick spreading on the ice surface is analyzed under different experimental parameters, such as oil product temperature, initial oil product volume, ice surface, and environment temperature. It is shown that low temperatures and rough ice structure significantly affect the viscosity of oil products, their adhesion to surfaces and the rate of spreading. The paper discusses the key factors determining the behavior of oil slicks (temperature, roughness, spreading process, etc.) and their influence on the efficiency of traditional cleaning methods.
