Oil Containment by Floating Boom under Wave-Current Coupling Conditions III: Prediction on Failure Velocity

Article Preview

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of oil containment by floating boom under wave-current coupling conditions is presented in a companion paper. The present paper focuses on the use of the numerical experimental platform developed by FENG and WU for the prediction of oil containment failure velocity of floating boom under wave-current coupling conditions. Detailed derivation processes about the containment failure velocity formula are provided. The effects of oil parameters, wave parameters and oil boom parameters on oil containment failure velocity receive particular attention, and the influences of some of these parameters such as oil density, boom draft are quantified. The prediction model can provide an economic, convenient method for oil spill response.
