  Ship oil spill accident has become one of the main causes of Marine
environmental pollution and ecological damage. It is of great significance to
study the process of oil spill into water by using simulation prediction method
for oil spill clean-up and emergency rescue work. A great deal of in-depth
research on oil spill simulation and prediction is done. The development
process of the research on the behavior process of oil spill into water is
analyzed and the problems are put forward. The advantages and disadvantages of
simplified simulation model, keyhole jet model and computational fluid dynamics
model are analyzed and compared. On this basis, the problems existing in the
research and the emphases of future research are pointed out, and a new idea of
building complex hull model, superposition of complex sea conditions and
coupling of simulation calculation methods is proposed.
