Numerical experiment on applicable conditions of typical oil boom based on the software Fluent

To analyze the performance and applicable conditions of the typical oil boom,the interception of typical oil boom was simulated by using the CFD software Fluent based on N-S equations of incompressible viscous fluid and volume of fluid(VOF) method,and the physical processes were validated successfully under the same experimental conditions.The containing capabilities of the monomer oil boom and the double oil boom at different water velocities were analyzed,and results show that the double boom can enhance the effects of oil interception,whose related upgrade rate grows as the water velocity increases.When the water velocity is low,the double oil boom makes little sense.The oil boom has certain applicable conditions in practical applications,but the oil boom fails to work when the critical quantity or current velocity is exceeded.
