The Effect and Flow Field Characteristics of Oil Booms with Different Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the effect of oil boom gate under different towing speeds, the standard k-ɛ model is combined with the VOF multiphase flow model to analyze the flow field morphology of towage state. The results show that both the monomer oil boom and the double oil boom have good effects in the lower drag speed. But the monomer oil boom would lose its effect gradually with the increasing of drag speed. When the drag speed is up to 0.7 m/s, the monomer oil boom is invalid, while the double oil boom still works well at this speed. It reveals that the double oil boom has better effects than that of monomer oil boom.
