Can EFDC simulate oil spill ? How to achieve it? Thank you very much?

HI Binlichen, Yes, EFDC can simulate the oil spill by using the Lagrangian Particle Tracking module. Please click here for an example. https://www.eemodelingsystem.com/solution-type/habitat-analysis/oil-spill Thank you,

is there successful examples that have been published in literature? Thank you very much!

Here is a recent example using EFDC to generate the tidal fields for an oil spill modeling study by T-H, Yang C-S, Oh J-H, Ouchi K (2014) :
