Experiments on containment and diversion of oil by a vertical barrier / J. Moir and Y.L. Lau.: En36-522/159-1975E-PDF

"Using dimensional analysis, the variables which govern the containment and diversion of oil slicks by barriers in riverflow are identified. A laboratory test programme was carried out to determine the criteria for containment, guidelines for volume of oil containable and diversion of oil by barriers angled to the flow. The relative barrier draft and the flow friction factor, parameters previously ignored, have been shown to be important factors. Suggestions for further laboratory work and field tests are made"--Summary, page [3].
