EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BIOFOULING ON A FLAT PLATE SUSPENDED IN A UNIFORM FLOW
Title
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BIOFOULING ON A FLAT PLATE SUSPENDED IN A UNIFORM FLOW.
Creator
WOOD, MARK ALAN., Florida Atlantic University, Tennant, Jeffrey S., College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
An investigation was conducted to determine the relationship between hydrodynamic boundary layer parameters and biofouling growth rates. A summary of previous investigations of hydrodynamic effects on biofouling is presented. Wall shear stress is shown to be an important parameter and is described in detail. A submersible water tunnel was designed to allow investigation of a flat plate subject to a uniform flow of seawater. Parallel flow past a flat plate with a laminar boundary layer was...

A summary of previous investigations of hydrodynamic effects on biofouling is presented. Wall shear stress is shown to be an important parameter and is described in detail. A submersible water tunnel was designed to allow investigation of a flat plate subject to a uniform flow of seawater. Parallel flow past a flat plate with a laminar boundary layer was used to ensure that experimental conditions existed in which a known wall shear stress distribution was establised. Tests were conducted off Virginia Key in Miami, Florida. The results of the experiments clearly indicate the existance of a threshold value of shear stress which inhibits the attachment of the macrofouler under study, the acorn barnacle (Balanus spp.). Reported growth rates from other investigations are presented to substantiate results. Recommendations are made for additional hydrodynamic investigations in dealing with biofouling.

SEASONAL STUDY OF SESSILE MARINE FOULING ORGANISMS IN NORTHERN LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA
Title
A SEASONAL STUDY OF SESSILE MARINE FOULING ORGANISMS IN NORTHERN LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA.
Creator
BANE, LENI LORENZ., Florida Atlantic University, Marsh, G. Alex
Abstract/Description
Seasonal settling patterns and community development of the fouling complex on gelcoat-covered fiber glass plates (103.22 cm2 ) were observed from September 1976 to September 1977 at three stations in northern Lake Worth, Florida. Percent coverage for each species was estimated using 60 points randomly positioned over the plate area. Physico-chemical conditions at stations 1 and 2 were relatively stable, whereas station 3 was subjected to wide variations in salinity and, to a lesser extent,...
Show moreSeasonal settling patterns and community development of the fouling complex on gelcoat-covered fiber glass plates (103.22 cm2 ) were observed from September 1976 to September 1977 at three stations in northern Lake Worth, Florida. Percent coverage for each species was estimated using 60 points randomly positioned over the plate area. Physico-chemical conditions at stations 1 and 2 were relatively stable, whereas station 3 was subjected to wide variations in salinity and, to a lesser extent, dissolved oxygen. Plates at stations 1 and 2 consistently collected more species than those at station 3. Peak settling and growth at all stations occurred in the spring and early summer. Three species settled only on plates that had been previously colonized. Even though gelcoat-covered fiber glass was designed to discourage fouling, it proved to be a satisfactory substrate for a thriving community.
