Many kinds of structures installed on the sea bottom to induce upwelling have been proposed so far. A V-shaped structure, which looks like the letter 'V' as viewed from the top, is one of the most effective devices to induce upwelling. In order to further improve upwelling, the authors tried to develop a new device combining the V-shaped structure with a vertical flexible underwater curtain hung on floating buoys. These vertical flexible underwater curtains are such things as fishing nets, or silt fences which are used for prevention of water pollution at undersea works. In order to examine whether there is an improvement ofupwelling using the new device, flow visualization tests were carried out in a circulating water channel by using a l/5OOth scale model. As a result, it was confirmed that the new device is more effective than the conventional device composed of the V-shaped structure only.}, pages = {27--35}, title = {Experimental Study on Artificial Upwelling Device Combined V-shaped Structure with Flexible Underwater Curtain}, volume = {55}, year = {} }
