It is well known that tackling oil pollution in coastal waters arouses great public
interest. This has prompted ongoing efforts to enhance methods for reducing oil contamination.
Conventional oil barriers are frequently used as part of the chosen pollution reduction technique
to confine floating oil. In the event of an oil spill into the sea, a rapid and effective response to
pollution is of vital importance for environmental safety. The effectiveness of the conventional
barriers used today in the response to oil pollution at sea is very low. Air bubble barrier has
been developed to eliminate the inefficiency of conventional oil containment barriers and used
as a new type of oil containment barrier. Air bubble barriers are created by the release of air
bubbles underwater; air bubbles rise to the surface, forming a bubble cloud. This plume creates
an upward flow by dragging water with it. A surface current is created when the water's upward
flow changes direction as it approaches the surface. As a result, convection-dominated oil spills
can be avoided, and spilled oil is anticipated to be contained in a specific area. In this study,
studies on air bubble barriers have been compiled based on features such as purpose/main topic,
analysis type, dimension of numerical analysis, size of the experimental setup and numerical
model, aperture size, aperture separation interval, pipes submerged depth and pipe arrangement.
It has been found that the air bubble barrier is mainly investigated for oil spill situations and
wave dissipating performance. Additionally, we might infer that an experimental setup is
required to assess how well the air bubble barrier controls the oil pollution spread. However, it
may be said that only numerical simulation is enough to determine how well the wave
dissipating performance of the air bubble barrier.
