Reducing bubble generation and sweepdown effect on a research vessel with a moonpool

Some research vessels set moonpools for sonars installation. The moonpool provides a relatively good working environment for sonar in a harsh marine environment. At the same time, other acoustic detection equipment are installed along the ship bottom behind the moonpool. Due to the exist of the sonar with a variable cross-section, the number of bubbles generated in the moonpool increases. The bubbles generated in the moonpool expel and flow along the vessel bottom to the stern, which leads to the sweepdown effect. The performance of the sonar and other acoustic detection equipment degrades by the bubbles around. However, the research on reducing bubble generation in the moonpool and sweepdown effects is rare. So in present paper the reduction effects of damping devices such as the flange and choke deck on the bubble generation in the moonpool are investigated experimentally. Then, in order to reduce the sweepdown effects of bubbles on the ship bottom, three other damping devices which are double flaps, diversion channel and wedge are investigated. It can be seen that through reducing the area of bubble leakage in the moonpool the distribution position of bubbles can be effectively restricted and the width and thickness of the bubbles reduce.
