Digital simulation made to test the behaviour of a large floating structure in the open sea and it's interaction with crossing by object (ship).
Location: Dover Channel
Depth: 20.0 m
Speed: 7 knots
Wind speed: 8.0m/s
Wave amplitude: 4.0m
"Interaction between two ships passing each other in close proximity can affect steering and lead to collision. Interaction occurs at any depth but as with the other
types of interaction, it is amplified in shallow water. The
separation distance between the two ships, besides the
speeds squared, is a critical parameter. Typically, interaction effects are more pronounced if the side shell to
side shell distance is less than two times the beam of
the wider ship. In general the effect on the smaller ship
is more pronounced than in the larger one."
