Hydrodynamic interaction of passing ships in a shallow asymmetric canal
Abstract
dc:description.abstractA theoretical model and associated computer program are developed to compute hydrodynamic interaction forces and moments on passing ships in a shallow asymmetric canal, by applying generalized Lagally's theorem. Steady lift force on the ships are estimated following standard slenderbody approach. Passing ships are assumed to travel at constant speeds, parallel to the canal walls. Ships are assumed to be slender, the fluid is ideal and wave making effects are ignored. Numerical calculations for several passing cases show good agreement with existing model test results.
