Book Ship Navigation Simulation Study Brunswick Harbor Georgia

Download or read book Ship Navigation Simulation Study Brunswick Harbor Georgia written by C. J. Huval and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savannah District requested a navigation simulation study of Brunswick Harbor to determine both channel and bend widening requirements throughout the channel based on, primarily, real-time simulator experiments with the design ships, and the best design and placement of the East River turning basin. Navigation conditions (existing and proposed) were conducted using real-time piloted ship simulation experiments. A field data collection verified and adjusted a numerical hydrodynamic model of the tidal currents and the tidal sound and river system; and a hydrodynamic model of the existing and plan conditions was developed and adjusted based on field data. Also, two hydrodynamic models of design ships (a car-carrier for analyzing the South Brunswick Channel leading to the existing Colonels Island car facility, and a bulk carrier for analyzing the East River channel and turning basin) for experimenting due to the different navigation concerns associated with each ship type were developed. Channel deepening in Turtle River above the Brunswick and South Brunswick Rivers junction was not included in the study.

Book Ship Navigation Simulator Study Savannah Harbor Widening Project Savannah Georgia

Download or read book Ship Navigation Simulator Study Savannah Harbor Widening Project Savannah Georgia written by J. Christopher Hewlett and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) ship simulator was used to evaluate the proposed channel widening of the Savannah Harbor from Fig Island Turning Basin to Kings Island Turning Basin. The widening would extend the north side of the channel 100 ft. The present channel width of 400 ft causes difficulties in the maneuvering of the 950-ft New York Class containerships that began calling in Savannah approximately 2 years ago. For this reason, the simulation study was conducted using a numerical model of this containership. To generate channel currents for input into the simulation, a hydrodynamic finite element model of the Savannah Harbor was developed as part of the study. Boundary conditions for this model were obtained from a larger numerical model of the entire Savannah estuary system developed by the WES Hydraulics Laboratory Math Modeling Group. Keywords: Channels hydraulic engineering; Finite element method; Ships maneuverability; Savannah Harbor.

Download or read book Ship Navigation Simulation Study Jacksonville Harbor St Johns River Florida Volume 1 Main Text and Appendix A written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ship simulation study of St. Johns River, Jacksonville, Florida, included channel reaches from the outer entrance channel at the sea buoy to downtown Jacksonville, approximately 30 nautical miles. The study was performed to determine the effects of deepening the navigation channel from -38 ft msl to 42 ft msl. The proposed dredging would maintain the existing bank lines and bank slopes, extending the existing bank slope down to the deeper channel bottom, effectively reducing the channel width from 24 to 40 ft dependent on the bank slope. The initial plans examined were to deepen the entire channel without any widening and to deepen and widen the entire channeL Preliminary investigations conducted with pilots from the St Johns Pilots Association indicated that the unwidened channel would not seriously impact navigation, except for two away traffic. A third plan was developed that widened and deepened the channel reaches east of the Dames Point Bridge and only deepened the reaches west of the bridge, along with some realignments of reaches both east and west of the bridge. This plan, Plan C, was found to provide generally improved navigation as compared with the existing conditions.

Book Ship Navigation Simulation Study Port Jersey Channel Bayonne New Jersey Volume 1 Main Text

Download or read book Ship Navigation Simulation Study Port Jersey Channel Bayonne New Jersey Volume 1 Main Text written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Port Jersey channel, Bayonne, NJ, is part of the New York Harbor complex, the leading port on the east coast of the United States. It is one of several channels branching off to the left from the main Anchorage channel south of the Statue of Liberty. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is developing the channel for containership terminals. The existing channel is 35 ft deep below MLW and approximately 750 ft wide with a 1,200-ft turning basin at the end. The proposed improvements include deepening to 41 ft with a channel width of 300 ft The purpose of the simulation study was to determine the effect of deepening the channel and to aid in design of the dimensions and alignment of the recommended channel. The ship simulation study was conducted by local tug pilots on the simulator and used tidal current data from a mathematical model using the TABS-2 modeling system. Two containership models loaded to 35- and 38-ft draft were used in the existing and proposed channel test scenarios, respectively. Channel widths tested included the existing channel and widths of 250,300,370, and 440 ft. Test results used to evaluate the alternative channel plans included pilot ratings, composite ship track plot results, and statistical analysis of key ship navigation parameters, such as rudder angles, ship speed, ship heading, drift angles, etc.
