The basic concept of the free-travelling boom is to deploy a V-shaped boom with its apex downwind. If the free end of each arm is retarded by a sea anchor or drogue, ... the whole system will drift downwind at a velocity sensibly less than that of the floating oil .... As the drifting proceeds, the oil moves into the boom array and becomes trapped and concentrated into a relatively thick layer at the apex of the V structure. 1, record 1, English, - free%2Dtravelling%20boom
