Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Flanders Hydraulics Research built a 1/80 scale model in which three different ship models have been experimented to assess the navigation behavior in the Third Set of Panama locks. The radio controlled ship models were laterally restrained, equipped with an own propulsion and longitudinally assisted by simulated tugs. During the tests forces exerted on and vertical motions of the ship, as well as water levels were recorded. A limited number of tests included density currents, which mainly occur between the first lock chamber and the ocean side. All typical lock maneuvers have been tested at different approach wall configurations, eccentricities, propeller rates, approach scenarios and under keel clearances. This article presents a selection of results of interest for lock maneuvers, among which the significant effect of density currents and the approach wall configuration on the lateral forces that act on the entering and exiting vessels. Control of lateral forces by the ship’s controls and tug assistance is therefore a determining parameter.
