【摘要】Due to the restrictions of ports,maneuverability of berthing ships will be affected significantly by water depth.In the present study,numerical simulation of the berthing maneuver of a ship with prescribed translational motion is performed by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations based on overset grid,and the effects of the quaywall and freesurface are taken into consideration.To validate the present numerical method,comparison is performed

between

our

results

and

the

other

results

or

measurements.It is found that the agreement is significantly better than that resulting from previous CFD-based approach.Subsequently,the effects of various water depths are investigated to evaluate their influences on hydrodynamic forces.The present results can provide helpful guidance on safe maneuvering for vessels' berthing and fender system design in quays. 【总页数】8页(198-205) 【关键词】
