Design of a Mobile App for Standardized Deployment and Control of Oil Spill Containment Booms in Rivers
In order to standardize the deployment and control of oil spill containment booms in rivers,a mobile app has been designed based on basic physics principles and oil spill recovery principles.By in-putting river flow velocity,width,boom model,and winch load,the angle,number of segments,and number of individual booms included in each boom can be obtained.This aims to improve the short-comings of traditional oil spill recovery projects,which mainly rely on on-site operator experience to determine boom deployment and control plans.
