SOME ASPECTS OF MANEUVERING IN COLLISION SITUATIONS IN SHALLOW WATER

Hydrodynamic effects which could contribute to a collision between ships in shallow water are discussed. A numerical method for the computation of interaction forces and moments is presented and it is used qualitatively in the discussion of two particular types of collision which have been reproduced on model scale. The effect of water depth on maneuvering and the crash stop are mentioned where they are relevant to collision situations in shallow water.
