Numerical modelling of ship-induced water motions : feasibility and validation study

Ship-induced water motions are important because of the influence on bank stability. At the moment it is impossible to predict the wash in complex geometries, such as rivers with groyne fields. Therefore, a predicting model is required. In this study the coupling of the two different numerical models RAPID and TRITON has been investigated as well as the possibilities and limitations with respect to predicting the wash near banks. The coupled model RAPID+TRITON has been validated using towing test data for a 25m passenger ferry.
