Reverse Engineering Harbor Geometries to Achieve Water Basin Agitation Goals
Publication: Ports 2007: 30 Years of Sharing Ideas: 1977-2007
Abstract
The hydrodynamics of conceptual marina basin geometries were studied for optimum basin size and shape maximizing water circulation and minimize wave agitation. It was found that aspect ratio of unity is better; simple curved basin corners suffice; offset entrance to one side maximizes circulation, wide entrance openings do not flush any better.
