Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The running sinkage or squat of a ship is a main contributor to the vertical limitations of a channel  and should be duly considered when taking a decision on the required fairway depth for deep drafted vessels.  Over the years different empirical formulae have been developed to predict the squat given main ship  dimensions, ship speed and the cross sectional area of the fairway under consideration. The PIANC report no.  121 “Harbour Approach Channels Design Guidelines” from 2014 lists a number of them that are advised to be  used at design stage. The different formulae have a proven track record of fairly well predicting the magnitude  of the squat of a ship sailing along the centreline of a (symmetric) channel with a typical trapezoidal cross  section. Nevertheless, none of them considers the effect of asymmetry in the cross section and/or the fact that  the ship does not sail along the centreline of a symmetrical cross section. The present paper intends to give an overview of the most important squat parameters, including the effect of  asymmetry. A correction is proposed to the existing empirical formulae to deal with the increased squat that  occurs when the ship sails asymmetrically along an approach channel.
