Drift velocities of surface films over waves

OSTI ID:7093079
Oil spillage into the marine environment has become a serious problem in recent years. The analysis of the convection of an oil slick under oceanic conditions is an essential tool for pollution control operations. The drift of an oil slick on the sea is under the influence of both wind and waves. Research was initiated to study the convection of a surface film under the action of wind- and mechanically-generated waves in a laboratory wind-wave channel by using polyethylene sheets.
