ADVANCED NON-TOXIC ANTIFOULING COATINGS RESEARCH, TEST SITE FACILITY

Abstract

This proposal is divided into three main tasks.1. Static Immersion Field testing of surfaces and coatings2. Dynamic Immersion Testing of surfaces and coatingsa. Continue offering dynamic immersion for ONR contractors (e.g. Detty and Slips)b. Investigating the influence of dynamic conditions on the fouling communitystructure3. Hydrodynamic evaluation of ship hull coatings.A. Continue testing and evaluation of NSWC panelsB. Measure the effect of tenacious biofilms on drag.C. Development of Maelstrom to measure frictional drag
