摘要: This paper addresses the research on ship-induced water motions and the consequences thereof, carried out by the Road and Hydraulic Engineering Division of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. After a brief introduction on developments in the Inland Waterway Transport sector in the Netherlands, presently available tools for prediction of ship-induced water motions are discussed. Subsequently, three possible approaches to improve these tools are treated, viz. reassessment of existing engineering formulas, numerical simulation of ship-induced water motions and application of (new) measurement techniques. The research carried out so far revealed that re-assessment of existing formulas has improved insight in (consequences of) ship-induced water motions. For example, it is shown that the influence depth of a stern wave can well be compared to the influence depth of a wind wave. Further, it has become clear that numerical models for wave generation by ships and propagation of these waves on inland waterways can be combined successfully. However, the combined models need some further development before they can be – directly or indirectly – applied in engineering and water management practice. Finally, initial results of data collection by laser altimetry show that this may be a valuable and relatively cheap method to obtain field data of ship-induced waves, which would allow further improvement of numerical models and better validation of engineering formulas.
