CFD-BASED HYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSIS FOR A SHIP SAILING ALONG A BANK IN RESTRICTED WATERS

Abstract

The paper is interesting, good structured and deals with an important problem concerning ship behaviour in restricted water. The use of a CFD method as FLUENT (code also used at Ghent University) shows the possibilities of numerical methods for the calculation of ship-bank interaction. The content could still be improved as some topics in the paper miss some depth.
