A laboratory investigation was carried out to study the effectiveness of air bubble barriers for the containment and diversion of oil slicks in open-channel flows. It was discovered that air barriers could not detain oil slicks completely but were very successful as diverters. Guidelines for angles of barriers required for diversion and for estimation of oil loss rates were obtained.
