Project description
Having accurate mathematical models of ship motions, ship manoeuvres and the influence of wind, current, proximity to banks, shallow areas and other ships is necessary to investigate if large ships can sail safely in the Belgian and other waterways. This is not only important for these large seagoing vessels, but also for smaller and faster ships and hydrofoil vessels.
