TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION: WAVE AGITATION NUMERICAL MODELING STUDIES.
“KNOW-HOW AND EASE OF APPLICATION”

Abstract:
These technical notes provide a collective summery for the wave agitation into ports via numerical modeling studies. Many technical researches were carried out in this direction, but the clearance of the know-how for modeling studies still not completely covered. Many models are already able to simulate the complete conditions of wave agitation into ports. Some of them cover the effect of wave attack directional spreading and the rest do not do that, considering the assumption of unidirectional wave attack for each run separately. In these communication technical notes, the concentration comes towards the simplified common case of unidirectional wave attack/propagation simulations into the port area.
These technical notes may provide some of the required knowledge to both researchers and practical engineers to proceed in their port planning and design studies and projects towards achieving the required calmness improvement into port. The importance of such studies appears, especially for ports dedicated in container handling as sensitive cargo. |
| Keywords and phrases: wave agitation in ports, calmness improvement, port layout adjusting, numerical modeling. |
