Control of oil slicks in flowing water using air bubble barriers / by Y.L. Lau & P. Engel.: En36-522/59-1977E-PDF

"The Prairie Region Oil Spill Containment And Recovery Advisory Committee (P.R.O.S.C.A.R.A.C.) is interested in the possible use of air barriers for oil spill control in rivers. This study is carried out at the request of P.R.O.S.C.A.R.A.C. to investigate the effectiveness of air barriers for the containment or the diversion of oil slicks in open-channel flows. Because there is some urgency involved in obtaining results for use in the planning of a field exercise, this study is limited to an experimental investigation and no detailed theoretical analysis is included"--page [1].
