Luo, W.L., Guedes Soares, C. e Zou, Z. J. (2014), “Experimental and numerical study of the effect of a pier on ship trajectories in currents”, International Journal of Maritime Engineering, Vol. 156(Part A1), pp. A-93 - A-104

Preliminary study is presented to the effect of a pier on ship motion in currents. Experiments on ship manoeuvring and drift motion in the vicinity of a rectangle pier were carried out in a tank. Different current velocities and current angles were taken into accounted. The characteristics of deviation of ship motions from the initial course around the pier are investigated. Experimental findings indicate that the minimum required distance for safety navigation becomes larger with an increase of the current velocity. To obtain the details of continuous three-dimensional flow field around a pier, numerical simulation based on CFD calculation is conducted. The validity of the numerical simulation is demonstrated by comparison with experimental results. Keywords: pier; flow field; navigation safety; numerical simulation; experiments.
