| Abstract |
The hydrodynamic interactions of a slow-moving vessel with a shoreline or an obstacle in shallow water are investigated using slender-body theory. With the assumption that the free surface is rigid, the problem is shown to be equivalent to studying the flow about a porous airfoil moving near an irregular boundary in the horizontal plane. A numerical procedure is developed based on the availability of an "obstacle Green function." Theoretical results indicate that the vessel experiences an attractive force and a bow-in moment during the approach toward a wedge-shaped obstacle, such as a pier or a breakwater, regardless of the angle of approach. For a vessel approaching a side bank at an angle, the theory yields results consistent with the so-called "bank-rejection" phenomenon. |
