Floating Object Recovery Study.

Abstract

A study was conducted to determine a method to recover floating objects from the surface of the ocean. Model test tank investigations conducted at Stevens Institute of generating a localized flow field which would refract waves were investigated for a possible practical application. Several methods of generating a localized flow field in the open ocean were investigated. The flow field could attenuate wave energies in an area which could possibly facilitate the recovery of floating objects from the ocean surface. (Author)
