Onderzoeksoutput

Welkom op het expertplatform!

Dit platform verschaft informatie en kennis omtrent de WL expertisedomeinen 'hydraulica en sediment', 'havens en waterwegen', 'waterbouwkundige constructies', 'waterbeheer' en 'kustbescherming' - gaande van WL medewerkers met hun expertise, het curriculum van deze instelling, tot publicaties, projecten, data (op termijn) en evenementen waarin het WL betrokken is.

Het WL onderschrijft het belang van "open access" voor de ontsluiting van haar onderzoeksresultaten. Lees er meer over in ons openaccessbeleid.

Abstract

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) plans to extend the capacity of and allow larger ships to the Canal by building a so-called third lane, consisting of a new set of locks parallel to the existing ones. The design ship is a so-called Post-Panamax 12000 TEU container carrier. In order to optimise the approach to and the manoeuvres within the locks, in 2007-2008 experimental research has been conducted at Flanders Hydraulics Research, Antwerp, Belgium on a 1/80 scale model of the approach lane, the lock and the design vessel. With the ship model moving along a guiding rail, lateral forces acting on the ship and movements of the vessel can be recorded during a selection of entrance and exit manoeuvres. During a number of tests, the effect of density exchange current was examined. The present article offers an overview of the test-setup with a discussion of a few interesting results of the test runs.
