Passing vessel interaction: An assessment of MARIN's FlowInteraction module

In order to accurately predict passing vessel interaction forces, different simulation tools have been developed over the years. Many of these are based on a double body flow approach. MARIN (a hydrodynamic research institute located in the Netherlands) developed a simulation tool called the FlowInteraction (FI) module, which is part of the...

Scour hole development Maasvlakte 1 & 2: Data analyis and forecast

Model simulations on the basis of uniform (non-graded) sediment reveal a strong overestimation of the scour hole in the area directly to west of Maasvlakte I when compared to the measured scour hole. Data analysis shows that the scour hole developed in a former complex estuarine system. The analysis strongly suggests that erosion occurred...
