Bank Selection when Installing Booms on Rivers

The features of the installation of booms on rivers were given, taking into account the fact that rivers form periodic ancones, which causes an uneven distribution of river flow along the bed. The article proposes the most optimal way to install booms on rivers based on a series of experiments. Detailed calculations were presented to determine the elongation of booms when they are installed on rivers. Flow loads were determined and presented, as well as their distribution along the floating boom outline. Variants of installation of booms on ancones and straight sections of rivers were considered. The optimal bank for the installation of booms was identified, taking into account the conditions for ensuring the best holding capacity of booms, as well as the convenience of collecting oil and other factors.
