| Résumé | The objective of this research was to develop, assess and validate alternative boom designs that would allow containment and collection of oil spills in water at higher speeds than currently possible using conventional boom technologies. A comprehensive series of two- and three-dimensional CFD simulations and large-scale physical model experiments were conducted investigating the oil containment performance characteristics of several innovative boom concepts (and multiple variations thereof) at high speeds. Both the simulations and experiments considered varying quantities of low, medium, and high-viscosity oils. This paper discusses the physical scale model experiments in detail. The boom concepts investigated in this research included conventional designs with a single skirt and innovative designs incorporating ramps or permeable screen barriers to manage the oil slick at higher speeds. The extensive laboratory testing and computational modelling revealed that innovative boom designs are able to safely and effectively contain oil at speeds up to 3 knots or more. Effective high-speed booms will make it possible to contain and recover oil spilled into fast-flowing rivers, estuaries and coastal waters, and accelerate oil recovery operations in open water environments. |
