The removal of oil spill pollution is an important issue of water environment protection. A hydrodynamic model for the determination of oil spill removal area is proposed based on the Euler-Lagrangian particle tracking method. After the results of flow field simulation are validated by the measured data, the trajectory of oil particles is calculated. The optimal location of oil spill removal area is obtained by comparing the oil removal rate of different removal areas. The current method presents a useful way of locating the optimal oil spill removal area to clean the surface waters.
