The impacts of piers on oil spill transport in a typical reach of the Middle Yangtze River

Oil spill, a frequent pollution in the utilization of rivers, is receiving increasing attention in the study of river ecosystems. Taking the Zhuankou–Yangluo Reach (ZYR) of the Middle Yangtze River as an example, the spatial and temporal behaviors of leaked oil in the river under uniformly arranged...
