  AbstractIntroduction: This paper presents a three- dimensional numerical model based on 3- D Navier –Stokes and continuity equations. The model is used to simulate the prediction of the movement of oilslicks from spill accident in region between Khark Island and Busher Port in the north coastal ofPersian Gulf.Material and Method: A three – dimensional model is developed based on the mass transportequation to predict the movement of oil particles in the water column. The model uses Boussinesqapproximation as Lipps. For the advection term in the model an upwind weighted, multidimensionalpositive definite advection transport algorithm (MPDATA) is used. Base on this algorithm an explicitfinite difference scheme that uses an anti-diffusive velocity sense for equilibrium diffusion effect isused. Densities of the oil and water, wind speed and horizontal and vertical diffusion coefficients arevariable in the model.Results: The computational domain covers an area of 555180 km2 with 11346 grids andx  y  3000 m in spill point, 21 km offshore. The model predicts concentration distribution ofoil particles and current speeds and directions for 1.7, 7 and 14 hours in summer after spill accident in5, 10 and 15 meters levels. Numerical results show that particles spreading are towards Busher Port insummer. There is good agreement with valid theories and experiment of data runs.Discussion: This research can be helpful to predict the movement of oil pollution at sea to collectpollution from spill accident to avoid the risk of moving it to the beach.
