Design of Low Pressure Air Curtains for Environmental Protection of Surface Waters

摘要

The design procedures developed and presented in this report will allow professional engineers and state and local officials to design economical low pressure air bubble screens for the protection of coastal water quality from pollution originating in marinas and residential canal systems. The methodology is based on research related to the air system of low energy bubble screens and the secondary currents created by such screens at the tidal entrances to marinas or canal systems.
