11.2.3 Fluid dynamics
3D WAVE AND BOOM INFLUENCE ON PARTICLE TRAJECTORIES
• Investigating the effects of wind- and wave-induced
turbulence on the boom capture efficiency.
• Including the interaction between particles and the
dynamic structure in the CFD analyses.
• Quantifying the potential efficiency loss due to
over-topping in extreme high wave conditions.
11.2.4 Ecolog y
LOCAL IMPACT
• Field tests should investigate whether plankton
indeed survives after encountering the floating
barriers, and these tests should also dictate whether
any active deterrence of vertebrates at the extraction
equipment is necessary.
11.2.5 Maritime Law
• Engagement of the United Nations is advisable, since
the UNCLOS/Law of the Sea currently does not provide
full guidance for the concept that has been proposed
in this feasibility study.
