Screening Channel Design Alternatives Using Ship Simulation

Navigational Safety Assessment of Ten-Thousand-Ton Vessels in Ship Tunnels by Ship Simulations

“…A comprehensive range of hydrodynamic data is integrated to create a highly realistic environment [28][29][30]. Under the guidance of experienced pilots and operators, ship simulation can obtain accurate data on vessel attitudes and maneuvering capabilities [31]. By adjusting and calibrating the parameters, ship simulations can accurately simulate the performance of vessels under different conditions and reproduce a natural hydrodynamic environment, including water flow, waves, depth, and other factors [29].…”

“…By adjusting and calibrating the parameters, ship simulations can accurately simulate the performance of vessels under different conditions and reproduce a natural hydrodynamic environment, including water flow, waves, depth, and other factors [29]. As a result, ship simulators, such as Mobile Harbor [30] and Port of Long Beach [31], have been widely used in the design phase of various maritime projects to provide engineers with accurate recommendations and guidance. Within the virtual scenes of simulators, the operator can evaluate various navigation scenarios, which is highly beneficial for analyzing vessel handling characteristics [30][31][32].…”

Deng et al [33] utilized a ship simulator to analyze the maneuvering characteristics of light-tonnage (50 to 3000 tons [34]) vessels in inland waterways.…”
