HYDRODYNAMIC INTERACTION BETWEEN A TUG AND A SHIP
This article describes and discusses various hydrodynamic forces which act on a tugboat while operating in close vicinity of larger ships. The forces were studied in a model tank and the conditions under which the experiments were performed and the test results which were achieved are discussed. Dangerous conditions for a tug which could arise as a result of wave, rudder and tug/ship speed interaction are described. An area of safe approach was also determined by the tests.
