Steady lift force on the ships are estimated following standard slenderbody approach. Passing ships are assumed to travel at constant speeds, parallel to the canal walls. Ships are assumed to be slender, the fluid is ideal and wave making effects are ignored. Numerical calculations for several passing cases show good agreement with existing model test results.vii, 97 leavesapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1986.K592Channels (Hydraulic engineering)HydrodynamicsShip propulsionThesis
