Ship Squat in Non-Uniform Water Depth
نویسنده
چکیده
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 transiting canals such as the new Panama Canal. It is found that in a typical dredged channel, midship squat can be in the order of 20% larger than in open water of the same depth, while dynamic trim is essentially unchanged. In canals such as the new Panama canal, midship sinkage can be 100% larger than in open water of the same depth.

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 کاملThe Maximum Sinkage of a Ship
A ship moving steadily forward in shallow water of constant depth h is usually subject to downward forces and hence squat, which is a potentially dangerous sinkage or increase in draft. Sinkage increases with ship speed, until it reaches a maximum at just below the critical speed p gh. Here we use both a linear transcritical shallow-water equation and a fully dispersive nite-depth theory to d...
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 کاملSlender-Body Methods for Predicting Ship Squat
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.

This research has been carried out to determine the marine propeller hydro-acoustic characteristics by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver in both uniform and non-uniform wake flow at different operating conditions Wake flow can cause changes in pressure fluctuation and gas effect on propeller noise spectrum. Noise is generated by the induced trailing vortex wake and induced pressure ...
