Abstract
The numerical experimental platform of oil containment by floating boom under combined wave and current conditions was presented in a companion paper. The present paper focuses on the application of the platform that numerically predicts the relationship between oil containment failure velocity and wave parameters, oil parameters and boom drafts. The effects of oil density and wave parameters on oil containment failure velocity receive particular attention, and the influence of other parameters such as initial oil volume and boom draft are also quantified.
