Slender-Body Methods for Predicting Ship Squat
نویسنده
چکیده
A review is made of linear slender-body methods for predicting the squat of a ship in shallow open water, dredged channels or canals. The results are summarized into a general formula based on Fourier transforms, and the method is extended to cater to stepped canals. An approximate solution for canals of arbitrary cross-section is proposed.

Ship Squat in Non-Uniform Water Depth
The problem of predicting ship squat in non-uniform water depth is studied in this paper. For transverse depth variations, calculations are done using slender-body shallow-water theory, as implemented in the code “ShallowFlow”. Examples are given for realistic ships transiting dredged channels, and the effect of channel width on ship squat is discussed. Further examples are given for ships tran...

In canal and seaway the ship speed must be reduced and it has been a subject for many research studies. One of the most important phenomena connected to this issue is the increasing of ship draught when passing in the restricted water which is called squat. This study deals with the squat thorough systematic model testing. Two models from Series60 body form have been tested in a set of canal de...
متن کاملA brief history of mathematical ship squat prediction , focussing on the contributions of E . O . Tuck
This article traces the contributions of Prof. E.O. Tuck to the field of mathematical ship squat prediction. The review expands on Tuck’s own review of his early work [1] and describes the use of his formulae in modern squat prediction methods. A method for calculating Tuck’s sinkage and trim coefficients using easilyobtainable ship parameters is also described.
متن کاملSquat Assessment for Safe Navigation of River Nile Cruisers
In recent years a great deal of research efforts in ship hydromechanics have been devoted to practical navigation problems in moving larger ships safely into existing harbors and inland waterways. An area of particular concern is the prediction of ship squat in shallow or restricted waters at different speeds. Squat may cause grounding of the ship which result in severe damage to the ship, and ...
متن کاملShip Underkeel Clearance in Waves
A method is described for combining squat, heel and wave-induced motion calculations into an overall underkeel clearance (UKC) assessment, based on the “dynamic draft” at all the corners of the ship. Particular attention is given to predicting ship motions in shallow water. The effects of resonant roll, wave spreading and extreme motions are discussed. A general UKC assessment is proposed, vali...
