Abstract
The unified model formulations developed in Chapters 3 and 5 make it possible to clarify mechanisms of oil decomposition by adding crucial devices to them; this has not been experimentally clarified yet. Multi-phase flow formulation with decomposition contributes to this study. Main components of decomposed materials by bacteria are water, soluble components, and carbon oxides. We deal with the case in which oil decomposes into water. A characteristic of this case is appearance of a jump boundary condition for normal component of velocity at the decomposition surface between oil and water, which is based on density difference between them.
