Study on failure mode of oil interception fence in turbulent river

To reduce environmental pollution caused by oil spills in turbulent river condi-tions, the key to researching oil spill recovery technology for turbulent rivers is to identify the critical factors leading to the failure of oil booms. This paper es-tablishes a two-dimensional three-phase flow model based on FLUENT technol-ogy to simulate the transient changes and distribution patterns of oil and water under the influence of oil booms; it uses ANSYS to build a mechanical model of the oil boom, calculating the deformation degree and oil interception efficiency under turbulent conditions, and investigates areas with higher probabilities of structural failure. Additionally, based on similarity principles, a laboratory small-scale oil spill tank experiment is established to provide a basis for opti-mizing new oil boom structures and deployment methods.
