Design criteria to reduce intrusion of salt water through navigation locks by releasing bubbles of air from perforated pipes placed on bottom of lock chamber; experiments show that pneumatic barriers do not reduce navigability of ships passing through, and that barriers are reestablished shortly after ship has passed; salt water is diluted while penetrating through pneumatic barrier.
