ANALYSIS OF FORCES DUE TO IRREGULAR WAVES EXERTED ON A SHIP NEAR A HARBOUR ENTRANCE
Waves near the harbour which are affected by both seabed topography and also breakwaters could cause additional problems for a ship sailing in this area. A numerical method was developed to predict wave forces exerted on a ship near the harbour entrance when the ship is affected by uni-directional irregular waves. Three different positions of ship staying and wave conditions are considered and discussed. The validity of this method was experimentally verified by a model test.
