Ship Simulation Models: An Aid to Harbor Design
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 2
Abstract
In the design and development of ports, cost‐benefit analyses are often used to select the final design. These analyses show on the one hand the costs, i.e., capital and maintenance costs for dredging and investment costs, and on the other hand the benefits of a larger transport volume. The economy of a port is substantially influenced by the dimensions of approach channels and port entrances. To determine optimal dimensions of a harbor, the vessels that will call at the port have to be considered, because the channel and port dimensions are largely influenced by the behavior of the vessels. In the prediction of ship motions, simulation techniques have proven to be adequate tools. Two such simulation techniques are discussed: one related to horizontal ship motions; the other related to vertical ship motions.
