Abstract:

New methods for removing fouling from ship hulls are now being actively sought, both for Maritime and Naval craft motivated by concerns of energy consumption and environmental protection. This report describes the second phase of a developmental program, which has bridged the gap between the earlier successful laboratory cleaning with the CAVIJET cavitating water jet method (Reference 1), and the design and fabrication of prototype hull cleaners using this method.
