Abstract
ABSTRACT
An experiment and a computational approach were used to study flow fields around boom arrangements. A volume analysis was performed to quantify the effectiveness of the boom arrangements. The open-channel experiment showed that the booms were most effective when placed at 60° to the shoreline with cylinders placed along the center line. The results of the numerical algorithm were compared with the experimental results, which showed the influence of the cylinders and the recirculation formed between the walls to corral the oil.
